This is the original ending to my story Graduation. It was written after the boy I liked and I had fallen out. It was my way of predicting what I believed would happen in the years to come. This is not what actually happened in my life, but I thought I would share with you the fantasy I had created for myself. Once again, pardon my terrible writing and enjoy?
I do not own W.I.T.C.H. or any of its characters.
On the last day of classes Caleb pulled Cornelia and told her how sorry he was for being a jerk and how he hoped she would give him another chance. Cornelia agreed and the two repaired their relationship texting each other like crazy during the summer break.
On the first day of school sophomore year, Caleb went up to her and hugged her telling her how much he missed seeing her. They became close friends like they had been in 7th grade. Junior year Caleb surprised Cornelia by not only hugging her but also walking her to class, sometimes holding hands. By Senior year Caleb was walking her to all her classes, holding her hand during the walk and hugging her goodbye as she went into the classroom. As Prom drew closer all Cornelia could think of was going with Caleb, although she knew it was impossible. Her parents would not approve. However, much to her surprise, Caleb asked her parents if she could go with him and they agreed, after much pestering. She ended up wearing a strapless white dress that had frills on the bottom and a pink ribbon in the middle. She had sparkly high heals on and had curled her hair so that it bunched at her shoulder. She had waited nervously for him to arrive and when he finally pulled up she was super excited. Caleb wore a tux and had a pink rose corsage. When they headed out Caleb opened the door of his car for Cornelia, however, the rest of the night was a blur of loud music and crazy dancing. At the end there was a slow dance. The two slowly swayed to the music, Caleb's hands on her waist and Cornelia's around his neck. Cornelia smiled up at Caleb and thanked him for taking her, giving him a kiss on the check.
Now it was graduation. Cornelia stood in the cafeteria filled with teens dressed in caps and gowns. Her friends were talking about how exciting it was to FINALLY be graduating. Caleb's were talking but she couldn't hear what it was about. Caleb looked up bored with the conversation and his eyes meet hers. Smiling he walked to where she was standing.
"Ready?" He asked raising and eyebrow and smirking.
"Yah." She said giving him a small smile and rolling her eyes.
"The torture is finally over! We finished high school!" He exclaimed throwing his hands triumphantly into the air. Cornelia giggled a little and Caleb smiled down at her.
"So." He said tilting his head to the side, "I was wondering, just how much longer do I have to wait before I can go out with you? Officially I mean."
"I don't know." She said scrunching her brow, "They never said."
"I see well…" He started but was cut off by the teachers telling them to line up. As they walked onto the field for the ceremony all Cornelia could do was wonder what he had been trying to say. The ceremony dragged on slowly, teachers and students going up and saying lengthily speeches. Finally the diplomas were being handed out. As Cornelia waited for her name to be called she meet Caleb's eyes, he smiled at her making her melt inside. Then she heard, "Cornelia Hale." Slowly she made her way up to receive her diploma. She turned and smiled to the camera then walked back to her seat. She saw Caleb give her a thumbs up as she walked back and smiled. After all the girls had been called they started announcing the boys. Cornelia watched Caleb as they waited for his name to be called. Finally, she heard , "Caleb Hart" and watched him walk up and receive his diploma. He looked over at her as he made his way back to his seat, and shook his hand in the air mouthing "triumph!" When the ceremony was finally over the principle gave his last works for advice, then announced, "I now pronounce you the graduating class of 2009!" Cheering everyone throw their caps into the air. As the caps began to fall back to the Earth Caleb stood up and yelled, "Cornelia Hale will you go out with me?" Surprised all Cornelia could do was smile and nod dumbly. Then her smile grew and she yelled back, "Yes! Of course!". She then watched Caleb attempt to climb over the chairs to her, only to be scolded by a teacher. Sadly Caleb returned to his seat. Then they were walking off the field in an orderly fashion, but all Caleb wanted to do was run to Cornelia. Cornelia got back to the cafeteria before Caleb and was taking off her gown when she saw him come running in. His eyes were scanning the room before landing on her. HE then proceeded to run to her. He gathered her in his arms a huge grin on his face, "Finally!" He proclaimed, "I can finally go out with you!"
"Aw you poor thing." Cornelia said mockingly patting his cheek, "Having to wait so long."
"I know!" He exclaimed, "6 years is a long time to wait, but you're worth it." He leaned down and kissed her. At first it was innocent and sweet, but then it got more passionate. Soon Cornelia found her hands buried in his hair as Caleb's arms wound around her waist pulling her closer.
"Um guys?" Hay Lin said awkwardly, bringing them back to Earth. Everyone was staring at them. They broke apart both blushing.
"Congrats man." Said Matt his arm around Will's waist. They had started dating junior year. "No!" said Irma, "Cornelia we were supposed to be single buddies!" This was true. Cornelia and Irma has been the only two of Cornelia's friends who hadn't been dating. The strange thing was ll of her friends ended up dating Caleb's friends. Hay Lin had Eric, Taranne had Nigel and Will had Matt. Cornelia thought they must have gotten together while trying to set her and Caleb up.
"I'm sorry Irma." Cornelia said giving her a sad smile. Irma pretended to be mad for a few moments then burst into laughter.
"How could I be mad!" She said, "I'm so happy for you two! But I must say it's about time." Everyone muttered agreements.
"But Caleb never had the guts." Started Eric shaking his head.
"And Cornie hates lying to her parents." Continued Hay Lin grimacing.
"Plus we didn't really help." Finished Will grinning.
"No you don't!" exclaimed Cornelia grabbing Caleb's arm, "You guys are evil!"
"No." Said Taranne holding up a finger, "We were just trying to make you guys happy."
"Yah." Said Nigel shaking his head up and down.
"Okay." Said Caleb taking hold of Cornelia's hand and entwining their fingers, "Now if you excuse us I am going to take my girlfriend to that movie I promised her in 8th grade." And the next thing Cornelia knew Caleb was dragging her towards his car. Taking off his robe along the way. Cornelia couldn't help a small laugh from escaping her lips as she followed her boyfriend.
