I do not own these Characters, they are based off the Fifty shades books by E.L James

I'm super excited today is graduation day, I thought this day would never come all my hard work is finally paying off. I've worked part time at a hardware store to help me with finances while I was finishing my degree in Literature. I'm also really excited for the new journey I'm facing ahead. Leaving what I called my home for the last four years and moving to the big city with my best friend Kate is going to be great adventure for us, to see what our lives turn into as real life adults in the great big world. Having to manage paying bills and working full time, is kind of scary thinking that we are going to have to adapt to our new environment without all the friends and family pushing us one way or another. The choices we make from now on will fall directly on us and no one else.

Counting down the hours until I walk across the stage my stomach is in knots I'm really hoping I don't fall on my face in front of all my classmates and teachers. Kate is excited that I'm her personal Barbie Doll today, she has me in a beautiful plum dress and 6 inch heels. To the looks of it she is making my face look like a clowns face, I can feel the make up everywhere. Ugh, I love this woman but really, I'm not going to be on the cover of some magazine or anything. This is way to much, she is taking this personal make up assistant to far.

"Come on Kate, I don't need all this make up on."

"Steel we need to show off all the goods you have, you been stuck in your own Ana bubble for way too long, You will be breath taking, we just need to make all your features stand out and believe me you will be irresistible every person in the auditorium will want you."

"Fine, Kate but if you put any more make up on my face I'm going to wash it off, after I'm done killing you, it feels gross and heavy. You also know I like the all natural look not the model look. Everyone won't want me, I'm just plain bookworm Ana"

"When I'm done with you Ana you will anything but plain, Stop saying bad things about yourself, how many time do I have to tell you that your gorgeous."

I leave it at that I don't want to argue anymore with this woman, Its going to be the last time I'm her Barbie doll. While I'm waiting for Kate to finish up my hair and make up I call Ray my step dad but he is more like my real dad since he raised me to be the person I am today. He wanted to take me to gradation ceremony.

" Hey dad are you almost here?"

"Yes, Annie I'm pulling in the drive way now, see you in a little bit."

"see you soon Dad."

I take a final look in the mirror before I leave, I look different, my blue eyes are standing out like the sky on a sunny day, my hair is a beautiful golden brown with wavy curls hanging past my shoulders. My legs look like they are too long for my body with the dress and heels. I don't even recognize myself in the mirror, it seems like its playing tricks on my mind. I look older and beautiful, its a new Ana, new beginnings, new future, new everything, nothing will stop me now.
