"I can't believe we graduate from high school today." My best friend Skye said as we, were getting ready for graduation. I only nodded my head in response I was to busy trying to put eye liner on. Skye looked at me.
"Your black hair is so beautiful. You should do something different with it."She suggested. I always wore my black hair down, and kept my bangs in my face.
"I'm fine with how it is." I replied quietly. She rolled her eyes. I soon enough finished my eyes, and began to work on putting blush on my cheeks. I wasn't much of a makeup person besides eye liner. I got that from my mother. My mother was the only parent I ever had...my mother left my father back after I was born. She never told me the exact reason, but she just blamed things on my father. I wondered what my father's life was like now..if he was remarried, if he had any kids...
"Only an hour until graduation." She reminded me. I realized I had been standing there staring completely out into space this whole time with both my cheeks done being blushed. I felt my cheeks get hot as I put down the brush. Skye chuckled at me. "You know what two weeks from today is?" She asked me. Of course I knew what it was. The Escape The Fate concert she was dragging me to.
"The Escape The Fate concert..how could I forget?" I said as I rolled my eyes, and walked out of the bathroom she trailed along behind me. My mother was in the hallway closet, and immediately shut the door once we, were out in the hallway. She was always very..secretive about that closet...as if she were heading something. I shrugged it off again, and walked over to her.
"I can't believe it! I can't believe my baby is eighteen years old." She yelled as she pulled me into a hug. I tried to pull away, but she only hugged me tighter.
"Mom." I whined. She let go, and I pulled away from her. I fixed my hair. Behind me, Skye laughed. Despite the whole graduation thing..my mom seemed upset about something. I didn't know exactly what..but there was something wrong. "Are you alright?" I asked her slowly. She quickly changed from frowning to smiling.
"I'm just fine." She replied with a nod.
