CHAPTER ONE
Finally the day has come. Graduation day. I did not know that it would be possible to be so happy, yet so sad at the same time. I am happy because I can finally be considered an adult, move out of Charlie's house, go to college, and on to my career, but I am sad for that same reason. I know, I am weird, but it is just how I feel. We all must grow up one day, even if we do not want to.
Sitting here in my blue graduation gown, in the small gym (at least compared to most) of Forks High, surrounded my senior class, made me feel...
HOT!
The air conditioner for some reason stopped working, and right at the beginning of the ceremony, might I add. The heat made it a little hard to focus, but I did my best. Especially since my best friend at Forks High, or maybe even in the world, was up giving her speech as valedictorian. Alice Cullen.
As she stepped up to the podium, I tried my best to hold in my laughter. Her height compared to the podium was hilarious, I could tell from where I was sitting that she could not really see over it. However, I shouted out to her to give her some encouragement.
"Go, Alice!" A couple others cheered as well. I saw her smile at me, and then she began her speech.
"Good Evening, ladies and gentlemen, friends and family, teachers and administrators. We stand, gathered together to celebrate the accomplishments of the 2007 Class of Forks High School.
"To my fellow classmates, we've made it. We have finally made it. We are graduating. Congratulations. Congratulations not only to us graduates, for achieving excellence in academics, athletics and the arts, both in school and out, but also congratulations to our teachers, parents, friends, families and administrators. Our success is your success, for you have given us the freedom to dare, the courage to excel and the belief that we can achieve our best. You have been there for us with support and care; you had faith when we doubted ourselves. For all these things, we, the Class of 2007, thank you.
"Together for the last time, we stand poised at the very edge of graduation, looking towards a bright future. Soon each of us will go forth, in his or her unique direction, seeking to make a mark upon the world.
"We stand, as if before a row of thousands of doors, each door different from another, each potent with opportunities for every one of us. We must try at these doors, opening them to look at what lies within. Passing through some doors, we will have to set aside fear and prejudice before we may advance. To unlock others, we will have to uphold our sense of justice and dignity. If a door suddenly shuts before us, we cannot be discouraged, but instead must look for the sudden opening of another. Our adulthood, so long anticipated, has now arrived. We have grown up. We must seize our future and taking it into our own hands, do with it what we will, striving towards excellence.
"We join forth now, in hope and inspiration, all of us sharing our common legacy -- all of us, proud Wildcats of a little town in Washington known as Forks. All of us, members of the Graduating Forks High School Class of 2007! With Forks Pride, May We Go Forth to Prevail!
"Thank You and May God Bless Us."
As soon as she finished the word us, everyone in the gym stood to their feet, cheered, and applauded her great speech. I actually had to wipe a few tears that had fallen from my eyes. It was very touching. Alice did always have a way with words.
After a few words from the principal and vice-principal, the handing out of diplomas began.
It took a long time for them to finally reach the S group, but I was happy because I had the time to prepare myself and pray that I did not trip on something while going up, across, or down the other side of the stage.
"Elizabeth Shard..." They are getting closer. "Jessica Stanley..." One more person. "Whitney Sutton..." Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!
"Bella Swan..." I arose out of my chair and walked down the isle toward the stage, I could hear the voices of my parents and friends in the seats behind me, cheering for me. Luckily, I made up the stairs, across the stage, and down most of the chairs before I slightly tripped stepping down the last step, but I caught myself. A few of the students on the front row chuckled a little but I was used to those types of reactions. You have to be when you are naturally clumsy.
I sat down and waited for the ceremony to end.
At the end of the ceremony, all of the senior class stood and threw their caps in the air, as you would see on television. I made sure not to throw my cap too high because I did not want it to be mixed with somebody else's cap.
Before I had time to stand all the way up, I felt someone wrap their arms around my waist and pull me toward them. I looked up to see who it was, but I had a very good idea of who it could be and I was right. I looked into the beautiful ocean blue/green eyes of my love. My high school sweetheart, as some may say. He looked as beautiful as ever with his unkempt dark brown hair, naturally pale skin from the Washington weather (constantly raining, hardly ever sunny), and gorgeous smile. My one and only, Richard Kent, or Rick as I call him.
We have been together since my junior year, which was my first year in Forks, Washington. He was kind enough to be the one to show me around the school, around the town, and escort me on dates. He made living in this dreary small town, bearable. I love him. He graduated last year from Forks High and now is going to the University of Washington in Seattle. Alice and I are planning on moving there and attending school at the University as well. I will be majoring in English, which is my first love, though Richard is a close second. Alice is going to major in Drama, which fits her bubble, overdramatic personality well. The people I have around me are absolutely wonderful.
"Congratulations, Bella." Rick's voice brought me back from my thoughts of the future. Such a beautiful voice too!
"Thank you, Rick. I'm glad you could make it." He had a class today that he was supposed to be at around the same time as the graduation.
"You know I wouldn't miss my girlfriend's big day. I love you too much." He leaned down and gave me a soft, gentle kiss on my lips. It sent shock waves through my body causing me to shiver slightly. He chuckled as he pulled away from me.
"I love you too." I breathed, as soon as I was able to breathe again.
At that moment, a tornado of happiness wrapped in the form of Alice came barreling down at me, followed by her family (Dr. and Mrs. Cullen, her brother Emmett and his girlfriend Rosalie Hale, and Alice's boyfriend/Rosalie's twin brother Jasper Hale) and mine (Charlie and Renee). She nearly screamed into my ear as she hugged me and spoke.
"YAY! We're moving! We are going to be roommates! Yippee!"
What did I tell you? OVER-dramatic, but I love her.
