Me…Is Who I Am

BEEP!!!!!!!!!

"Ugh…"yawned Katie, stretching as she got up and slammed her fist on the alarm clock. Today was THE DAY. The day that she would graduate from middle school. The day that would start the vacation. She also knew that in high school, there was this dance the everybody HAD to go – with a partner. Katie thought of who she could go to the dance with. As she took her shower and got dressed into her graduation clothes, the only person that she could think of was Freddy. They were both in the same band, and they both loved rock music…they had a lot in common.

Katie pulled out her cellphone as it rang Eminem's Just Lose It song. She flipped it open, and answered, "Hello?"

"Hey Katie. Do you even have to say hello to the person you already know by the caller ID?" came Summer's voice.

"Haha. So what's up, Winter?" joked Katie. Everybody teased Summer by her mood. If she was angry, then she'd be Winter. If she was in an excited mood, then she'd be Summer. If she was sad, then Autumn or Fall, happy but calm, then Spring.

"Do you seriously think that today is winter? Katie, I'm really excited and nervous about this graduation!" shouted Summer into the phone, causing Katie to jump back, apparently, shocked.

"Okay, then you'd really be Summer today," said Katie.

"Of course I am! Hey, Zack is going to pick me and Freddy up. Do you want me to call him to pick you up, too?"

Katie's heart skipped a beat. Freddy? I'm going to ride in Zack's convertible with Freddy? She said to herself as she also said to herself that she should be calm.

"Aw, come on, Katie. I know that you like Freddy, but can't you just survive with riding in a car with him for less than thirty minutes?" asked Summer with sarcasm in her voice.

"Okay, okay. Call him as you want. I will be outside at my front door at nine. Meet you then!" sighed Katie, as she hanged up. After eating barely even half from her cereal bowl, she got out with her black glittery backpack to the front door. She squinted to find Zack's cool blue convertible drive up to the sidewalk.

"Hey! Katie! Over here!" yelled Summer in the front seat. "Hop on!" As Katie got in and drove away, she was relieved that Freddy wasn't in the car first. Suddenly, the car screeched to a stop.

"Zack, what's the matter?" asked Katie, looking anxious.

"Nothing. This is Freddy's house," answered Zack, pointing to a beautiful Victorian house with gorgeous carvings from woods in the front.

"THAT is Freddy's house? I can't believe it!" exclaimed Summer, as Freddy got out just in time. Katie blushed very deeply.

"Yo, guys. What's up?" asked Freddy, plopping on to the seat next to Katie. Katie blushed into a VERY deep shade of red, looking away, knowing that she was blushing. As soon as Freddy noticed that Katie was sitting next to him, he looked away, suddenly being quiet.

Zack drove away to the school. As they arrived, it was very hard to find a parking space. Everybody looked for one.

"There! I found one!" exclaimed Katie, pointing to an empty space between a black Ford and an old Benz. They got out and walked towards the gym. They could hear a lot of noise as soon as they walked just to the door, not opened yet.

"Ready guys?" asked Zack, looking nervous.

Katie sighed deeply. "Ready."

All four of them pushed on the door, finding the best ornamented gym ever. The whole place were full of banners such as CONGRATULATIONS!, HAPPY GRADUATION!...some things like that. There were different colored balloons everywhere you walked. Most people were lifting their feet up high to walk around.

"You know, we really ought to give the people who decorated this place a nice applause," commented Summer, looking more and more nervous. "Hey! There are four seats just for us! Let' go!"

The four got up to their seats and sat down. The lights closed, and the curtain slowly began to rise, showing the legs of the MC. Katie sighed deeply. Here we go. She thought. I am going to graduate today, and it's the only day that I'm going to graduate from middle school.
