Graduation Day Chapter 1, a vampire academy fanfic

DISCLAIMER! I OWN NOTHING!

DISCLAIMER! VAMPIRE ACADEMY DOES NOT BELONG TO ME!

BANG BANG. I rolled over and groaned, who was banging on my door so early?

"Rose! Wake up!" I heard Lissa`s voice coming from the other side of the door. Groaning I got up and went to open the door and let her in.

"Lissa why are you at my door so early?" I asked, my voice still thick with sleep

"Umm Rose it's not really early, it's almost noon. " Lissa said

"Ohhhhh…..Well what is so important for you to banging on my door?" I asked her

"Did you seriously forget?" she asked incredulously

"Forget what?" I asked her, honestly confused

"Rose, today is graduation!" Lissa squealed

"Oh" I said

"Oh? Really its graduation and all you have to say is oh?" Lissa almost screamed

"I'm sorry Lis I'm just nervous." I told her

"Why?" she asked

"Well Kriova and Dimitri want me to sing the graduation song this year." I said

"Ohhhhh…." She said trailing off

"Yeah" I sighed

"Rose it'll be fine, you`ll be amazing up there but right now we need to get ready." She said gently

****A COUPLE HOURS LATER****

Me and Lissa had just got done getting ready and we were heading to meet the rest of the gang in front of the auditorium so we could do a quick loop around the campus to remember our time here before we graduated.

"Hey guys!" I turned to find Christian, Adrian, Eddie, Mia, and much to my surprise, Dimitri all standing there.

"Hey" I said to everyone while Lissa made her way to Christian and gave him a light peck on the lips.

"Ok guys you ready for our last night walking this campus?" I asked them

I got a chorus of yea`s and yes`s, "Alright well lets go, we only have about an hour before graduation starts and we have a lot of ground to cover."

I led the way down the trail while the others followed slightly behind. After walking for a little while we began to see the elementary campus. I turned to Lissa to see her smiling and her eyes slightly teary. Looking at her I gave her my own soft smile and kept walking. Soon we came upon the gym; I smiled thinking about all the time I have spent in that building. Some of it spent with Mason, but most of it spent with Dimitri. Looking at him I gave him a big smile, walked over and whispered, "Thank you for everything Comrade."

"You are more than welcome Roza" he answered with a small smile of his own.

We walked and walked , all the while memories of me,Lissa,Mason, and Eddie as kids flashing through my head. Then more memories of us in our early teen years then suddenly the memories ran through my head, playing like a movie. A little while later the auditorium came back into view, and I was thrust back into the reality that today I was graduating high school.

****Time skip to the valedictorian speech****

"And now I am proud to announce the valedictorian of the class of 2011, Rosemarie Hathaway." Kivora said into the mic. Walking up to the podium I shook her hand and nodded respectfully to her. Turning toward the crowd and began my speech.

"Hello fellow students and guardians. To say I was surprised to not only be made valedictorian of my class but also be able to pick our graduation song would be the understatement of the year. First off I want to say a little something to all the people out there who told me that I would never make it as a guardian, that I was a disgrace to my kind, and the only thing I would ever amount to be was a bloodwhore at best. Standing here before you all I want to say a big F**** you, but also Thank you. Because if it weren't for you nah sayers out there I wouldn't have had the motivation to prove myself, to work night and day on my skill," I took a small break to look around the room at all the people staring up at me. Taking a deep breathe I began to talk again "Now that that's over with I have something to say to my fellow graduates. We finally did it guys. Despite everything and everyone that told us we couldn't or wouldn't make it to today, we are all here. Well, maybe not all. On our journey we, unfortunately, lost a dear friend. Mason Ashford. At this time I would like to have a small moment of silence to in remembrance of him," people throughout the auditorium were quiet as we all remembered Mason and the joy he brought to all our lives. Taking another deep breathe I began again, "Thank you. Now I`m not gonna bore you guys anymore with a long speech, but I would like to say one more thing I`d like to say before I begin the song. No matter who you were to me in these past years, whether you were my enemy or my bestfriend I will ALWAYS remember you." And with that the music to I`ll Always Remember You by Miley Cyrus began to play over the speakers as I stepped away from the podium and walked toward the middle of the stage

"I always knew this day would come
We'd be standing one by one
With our future in our hands
So many dreams, so many plans

Always knew after all these years
There'd be laughter, there'd be tears
But never thought I'd walk away
With so much joy, but so much pain

And it's so hard to say goodbye

But yesterday's gone
We gotta keep moving on
I'm so thankful for the moments
So glad I got to know you
The times that we had, I'll keep like a photograph
And hold you in my heart forever
I'll always remember you

Another chapter in the book
Can't go back but you can look
And there we are on every page
Memories I'll always save
Up ahead only open doors
Who knows what we're heading towards?
I wish you love, I wish you luck
For you the world just opens up

But it's so hard to say goodbye

Yesterday's gone
We gotta keep moving on
I'm so thankful for the moments
So glad I got to know you
The times that we had, I'll keep like a photograph
And hold you in my heart forever
I'll always remember you

Every day that we had
All the good, all the bad
I'll keep them here inside
All the times that we shared
Every place, everywhere you touched my life
Yeah, one day we'll look back
We'll smile and we'll laugh
But right now we just cry
'Cause it's so hard to say goodbye

To my fellow graduates, I`d like to congratulate you and I wish you luck. May all your futures be bright."
