Chapter 2: The Graduation

Senior year goes by to fast and they soon come to graduation day. All the glee kids have songs to perform at their graduation. They agree to meet up and hour before to have a pre graduation celebration.

"It's the big day my babies growing up so fast" Maria says crying

"Mom I'm just graduating high school it's no big deal" Santana says

"Oh sweetie it is a big deal, what time is Brittany coming here, we have presents for both of you" Carlos says

"She should be here any minute and what did you get us?" Santana asks

"You have to wait for sweet Brittany to come here" Carlos says teasingly

"Dad don't say that you sound creepy" Santana says

"What she's a sweet girl and she made you a nice girl as well" Carlos says

"Yeah right" Maria snorts

"Hey I'm nicer now right poppy" Santana says

"Right baby girl, right" Carlos says happily

"Oh I hear the door bell could that be the honored guest" Carlos says laughing

"Oh God please don't" Santana says running to get the door.

"Hey beautiful" Santana says leaning in to give Brittany a kiss on the lips and hands her roses.

"Hey sweetie, oh thanks you for the roses there beautiful" Brittany says smelling them

"Not as beautiful as you" Santana says stealing another kiss

"AWWW" Carlos and Maria Lopez and Robert and Julia Pierce say in unison

"Shut it" Santana says walking with Brittany's hand in hers.

"Should we give them the gifts now or wait?" the Pierces asks the Lopez'

"Let's make them wait" the Lopez' say

"Oh man" The two girls whine

"Let's take some pictures girls and we will take more after with the rest of their peers." Julia says

"Maybe they can take one with the principle and that cheerleading coach of theirs" Robert says

"No" both girls groan

"Then no presents for you" Carlos says

"You guys are enjoying this to much" Santana whines

"Yes we are dearest daughter" Maria says smiling

"We don't mind we love everyone right San?" Brittany asks sweetly

"Right" Santana says to Brittany

"Great then it's settled, now lets start with the photos" Robert states.

After about fifty pictures done the girls leave to graduation in a limo that there parents insisted in getting them for their night. Soon all the student got situated and were ready to walk down the isle for their last final event as students of William McKinley High. The waited for the music to start and headed out while their parents waved like crazy maniacs. Once they got seated Principle Figgins started the ceremony.

"Welcome to William McKinley High School Graduating Class of 2012. I want to thank you all for attending our ceremony. Family and friends it's an honor to have you here to celebrate with this class. Now a few words form Mr. Schuester" Principal Figgins announces.

"I have seen all these young people grow up so much in the four years I have had them. I want to take a moment to tell you about five of these students I have had an extra privilege of getting to know. I would like all my glee kids to come up to the stage and take a seat on one of the chairs. I will call their name and I want them to stand up for me so you can acknowledge them." Mr. Schuester states

"The glee club also will be performing three songs for you throughout this graduation so Id like to start by having them sing one for you right now, take it away new directions" Mr. Schuester says

Rachel and Finn sing "Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)"

Santana and Blaine sings

"Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away"

Mercedes and Kurt sings

"I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway"

Mike and Tina sing:

"Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway"

Brittany and Artie sings "Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway"

Everyone sings

"I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway"

Quinn and Puck sing:

"Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway"

Everyone sings:

"I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway"

"Thank you guys that was beautiful" Mr. Schuester says and the whole audience breaks into applause.

"First on my list is Rachel Berry. She is an amazing student I've gotten to know. In freshman year she was bullied by some of her peers for being different. She was considered an outcast because she dressed differently and had a dream no one thought was possible. Well I watched Rachel almost everyday get a slushy facial which is what we call a sad school torment. I saw her wipe it off and put her megawatt smile on and walk down the school with her head held high no matter what anybody said. She suffered the most torment than anyone else because her peers couldn't see how much of an amazing girl she was. During this year peers started seeing her for who she really was, a smart, and well informed student. She started hanging out more and having a better year which is great am I'm proud of a few students who helped that happen. Although she put up with a lot Rachel always gave it her all in everything she did and I wanted to let everyone know that she is definitely going somewhere in life in fact she just got into New York Academy of Performing Arts and when she graduates they already offered her a job to do a little play called Funny Girls on Broadway so give it up for Miss Rachel Barbra Berry." Mr. Schuester announced clapping proudly.

"Now our next student has had a tough sophomore year but pushed past all her obstacles I'd like to talk about the second student on my list Quinn Fabray. Quinn is a student that has overcome lots of situations in her very young life. She was one of our few students who got pregnant in sophomore year and gave up the baby for adoption and had a hard time dealing with the stares and the whispers during her pregnancy. She got kicked out and thrown all over the place and finally settled in to where she belonged back with the cheerios after the whole pregnancy. Quinn built her reputation back up and was able to feel like a normal teenager again. All the glee club kids are so proud of her as well as her mother who is in the audience and I just wanted to say good luck at Ohio State where Quinn will be getting here degree for teaching lets give it up for Miss Lucy Quinn Fabray" Mr. Schuester announced clapping proudly.

"The next student is our class president Kurt Hummel. He is one of the only few gay student and was the first one to come out to the school. Kurt is very brave and has suffered bullies everyday making him leave but soon return back to where he belonged. Kurt has been with new directions form the very beginning. He has an amazing voice that we didn't always appreciate all the time like we should have. Kurt has to deal with the death of his mother at a very young age and had a hard time when his father got sick. We have been there for each other during our time in glee. Kurt showed us glee club is not just about singing and dancing but about respecting each other even if you are more popular than others. I would like to say were happy for you Kurt and can't wait to see what you have in store for Colombia in New York. Let's give it up for Mr. Kurt Hummel" Mr. Schuester announced clapping proudly.

"The fourth student is Artie Abrams. He is a student who is disabled. Artie was in a car accident when he was eight years old that left him paralyzed. He had to get carried into the auditorium for some of our performances. We raised enough money for him to take a bus with us so his dad didn't have to drive him but instead he donated the money for more ramps since he's not the only handicap kid at the school. Artie has been very kind and nice to peers and has a giving heart. He will be attending Lima Community College and majoring in the arts field. Good Luck Artie lets give it up for Arthur Abrams" Mr. Schuester announced clapping proudly.

"The last student but not least I want to mention is our valedictorian Santana Lopez. Santana has improved the most of all my kids I believe. She went form being a bad girl always causing fights and starting trouble wherever she went to a student who stood up to bullies that would torment other students. She even got a group together called the bully whips and helped get Kurt back to McKinley where he belonged. She is one of the sweetest people you can meet if you just get to know her which not very many people got to know this side of her. Only the new direction and hopefully her family can see the real sweet charming girl. She has been known to bully kids in freshman year even tormented some of the New Directions but she came along way thanks to a special member of the club I'm not going to say her name Miss Brittany Pierce but we are all proud of her accomplishments and her true courage when it comes to her loyalty. So Good Luck at NYU and give it up for our 2012 William McKinley High School valedictorian Miss Santana Maria Lopez" Mr. Schuester announced clapping proudly.

"Thank you Mr. Schuester that was very sweet of you. Before I begin my speech we have another performance by the new directions" Santana says while getting back to her seat on the stage with the rest of the club.

The whole group:

So denied, so I lied
Are you the now or never kind?
In a day and a day love
I'm gonna be gone for good again

Are you willing to be had?
Are you cool with just tonight?
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye tomorrow's gonna come too soon

Put your name on the line
Along with place and time
Want to stay, not to go, I want to ditch the logical
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye tomorrow's gonna come too soon

All my time is froze in motion
Can't I stay an hour or two or more
Don't let me let you go

Don't let me let you go

Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye, tomorrow's gonna come too soon

Too soon

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye tomorrow's gonna come too soon

"Welcome McKinley class of 2012. We all have been waiting for this day since we started here four years ago. I know my parents can't wait to see me out of their house with all the trouble I've gotten into here. I will miss this place more than anything which I never thought possible. We will all look back at this and say hey remember when we gave that glee club teacher a slushy facial what's his name oh yeah Mr. Schue or do you remember that annoying girl we use to have to listen to rant on and on about what she wanted to sing her name was umm oh yeah Rachel Berry or how about do you remember that bitch excuse my language that use to torment me everyday for four years and purposely steal my boyfriends and call me rude names just to make herself feel better, you know the one that we said will be alone forever cause no one will love someone that mean what was her name Satan oh no wait it was Santana Lopez that's right I couldn't stand that girl, and we will have a hard time remembering everyone's names while we look through the yearbook, who was that chick that got pregnant and was president of the celibacy club and cheated on her boyfriend I remember her Quinn Fabray or that gay kid that got prom queen junior year and wore a lot of fancy clothes Kurt Hummel how can I forget him, or that nice sweet ditzy blonde cheerleader that was part of the unholy trinity and always said those weird things oh I think it was Brittany Pierce, Or hey don't you remember that wheel chair boy who always wore vests Artie Abrams or the one girl who could bring down the house with her voice and stood up to others for others who was a cheerleader for a short amount of time and was friends with that gay kid Mercedes Jones, or how about those two Asians we never remember there names they guy danced amazing and man could that girl sing they were Tina Cohen-Chang and Mike Chang or the guy that shoved kids into lockers and dumpsters and slushied almost all of the new directions and abused a gay kid David Karofsky or that's gay kids boyfriend that was cute he went to private school then transferred senior year Blaine Anderson or that football quarterback the captain of glee club the one who couldn't make up his mind who his was in love with and the one who lost his virginity and lied to his girlfriend about it that's a hard one hmmm Finn Hudson or what ever happened to that kid that was in sophomore year with us Matt Ruthermore or that's bieber blonde hair boy with the cute siblings Sam Evans or that Mohawk guy that got the queen B and head cheerleader pregnant sophomore year that slept with almost everyone who dated that female wrestler that can definitely take someone down oh yeah Noah Puckerman and Lauren Zizes. Don't forget who we are and who your peers and friends are they are important. These are not the best years of our lives there are many more to come and just remember don't forget your past it made you who you are today and keep those yearbook so you can look back and say yeah that was me and tell your kids about how you meet your true love in high school or how you remember how high school was. Just remember your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. Thank you"

"Umm very well said I think Santana" Mr. Schuester said "Okay we have another song for you to enjoy so once again the New Direction final song as students of McKinley High's New Directions, Take it away gang"

The whole group:

Another turning point
A fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist
Directs you where to go
So make the best of this test
And don't ask why
It's not a question
But a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs
And still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in
Good health and good time
Tattoos of memories
And dead skin on trial
For what it's worth
It was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

[Instrumental Break]

It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

"And now our class president Kurt Hummel" Principal Figgins announces.

"Thank you Principal Figgins I made a speech but I'm just gonna wing it because I don't want it to be to sappy. I want to thank all my member of new directions without you guys I wouldn't be able to come back especially you Satan I mean Santana and Miss Berry for being the best duet partner I can ask for you are going to be definitely amazing without a doubt. I also want to thank all our parents who have been here with us through the very beginning helping us grow and learn and teacher us right form wrong and helping us believe in ourselves. These four years have been magical; really when I look back at it I wouldn't change a thing. I mean it was so important to me to lose everything because I found out what the most important thing is – To be true to yourself. Ultimately that's what's gotten me to this place. I don't live in fear, I'm free, I have no secrets, I know I'll always be okay because no matter what, I know who I am and no one can change that ever. So Class of 2012 it's time for you to move on to what's next. But you must not let anything keep you from taking those first steps. Don't spend so much time trying to choose the perfect opportunity, that you miss the right opportunity. Recognize that there will be failures, and acknowledge that there will be obstacles. But you will learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others, for there is very little learning in success. Let me help in celebrating our graduation by putting our tassels to the left now let's congratulate the CLASS OF 2012" Kurt finishes his speech while everyone throws their hats in the air.

"Okay parents we have one more song for all the graduating class to sing so please stay in your seats, thank you" Principal Figgins anounces

The graduating class sings:

Yeah,Uhh...
Uhh...
Yeah..
It's the worlds greatest, Yo,
It's the worlds greatest, Come on,
Worlds Greatest, Ever

I am a mountain
I am a tall tree
Oh, I am a swift wind
Sweepin' the country
I am a river
Down in the valley
Oh, I am a vision
And I can see clearly
If anybody asks u who I am
Just stand up tall look 'em in the Face and say

[Chorus]
I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the worlds greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my backs against the ropes
I can feel it mmm
I'm the worlds greatest

I am a giant
I am an eagle
I am a lion
Down in the jungle
I am a marchin' band
I am the people
I am a helpin' hand
And I am a hero
If anybody asks u who I am
Just stand up tall look 'em in the Face and say

[Chorus]
I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
I made it
I'm the worlds greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my backs against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the worlds greatest

In the ring of life I'll reign love
(I will reign)
And the world will notice a king
(Oh Yeah)
When all is darkest, I'll shine a light
(Shine a light)
And use a success you'll find in me
(Me)

I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the world's greatest

[*]
It's the greatest
Can you feel it
It's the greatest
Can you feel it

[Repeat * while:]
I saw the light
At the end of a tunnel
Believe in the pot of gold
At the end of the rainbow
And faith was right there
To pull me through, yeah
Used to be locked doors
Now I can just walk on through
Hey, uh, hey, hey, hey
It's the greatest
I'm that star up in the sky

"Thank you and congratulations to class of 2012 and please file out as quickly as possible"
