Gilmore Girls!
It was finally graduation day. Rory was finally ready to accept her diploma and make her way towards Yale. But first she had to make it through the ceremony. She didn't want to see most of her fellow classmates because the majority of them she wasn't even friends with. The one friend she thought she had there (Paris) was somewhat jealous of Rory being the valedictorian and had grown distant. The only reason she made herself show up at graduation was that she knew her mother and grandparents were anxious to see her receive her diploma. She was afraid she'd forget her speech because lately, her mind was somewhere else. All she could think about these last few days was Jess. How he left without telling her, how he never called, and how much she missed him. But she had long since forced herself to stop thinking about him. She only knew that he got to California safely, because Luke had called and told her. She and her mother got in the car and departed for Chilton. The whole ride Rory was very nervous. The last thing she needed was to be more nervous. As soon as they got there, Rory found her grandparents. They congratulated her and wished her good luck. Rory had to hurry to meet up with the rest of her peers. One hour later, Rory was being called to the podium. She got up and shakingly walked towards the microphone. Once she got there she began to talk. A few minutes later she heard clapping. Her speech was finally over. The hardest part of graduation was over. After the ceremony ended, she ran to find her mother. Her mother of course, forced Rory to take pictures with practically everyone they knew. Luckily, Lorelei ran out of film soon and Rory no longer was blinded by the flash of the camera. All of a sudden she heard someone call her name. She turned around and saw the person she had least expected to see. Jess.
