Chapter Four: Final High School Moments
Austin's POV
It's been three weeks since prom, the championships and Anti-Bullying Week. Also, we met our new friend Callie Neon who will be a background dancer on mine & Austin's tour along with her best friend Hannah. In these three weeks, we had the last two football games, (won them both) the cheerleaders had their state championships, (which we won) finials, (which we passed) and Austin & I ordered all the plane tickets for our opening acts & their friends/family, arranged the dates and got the buses/jets ready. All we need to worry about now is graduation which is today. Right now, Trish, Dez, Ally and I were in the Practice room listening to Ally finish practicing her speech.
"We all believe in you. Let's make them proud and give our lives everything that we have to give because you never know what good things may come out of them. Congratulations, Class of 2015. And thank you," Ally finished.
"It's beautiful, great stuff Alls, you are going to kill it tonight," we told her.
"Thanks."
"Well Alls. Graduation is in a few hours maybe we should get ready," I said.
"Good idea."
I gave her a kiss on the cheek and left with Dez out of the Sonic Boom. When I got home I throw on a white V-neck, yellow over shirt, green leather jacket, jeans, green socks and white & yellow high tops. I grabbed my year book, cap & gown, wallet, phone, and car keys before heading downstairs. I saw my entire family down there: my mom's parents, my dad's mom, my Aunt Stormie, Uncle Mark, cousins Ross, Rydel, Rocky, Ryland, Riker, my Uncle Rod, Aunt Tessa, and my cousins Kiefer, Coral, and Ellie. I also saw my cousins friend Ratliff, my older sisters Kathleen & Natalie, My Brother-In-Law Travis, my nephew Julian, my other Brother-In-Law Conner, my niece Aubri, and Trish & Dez. Trish was wearing a cheetah print dress while Dez was wearing a rainbow tuxedo. After greeting everyone, Trish, Dez, and I headed out to the music factory.
At the Music Factory
I saw Ally hugging and talking to people all around the lobby. I saw her mom & dad, her stepmom Faith, her older brother & sister Nick & Skye, her grandparents Rob & Violet and Tom & Meredith, her Sister-In-Law Melissa, her Brother-In-Law Logan, her nieces Lilly & Kelsie, her nephews Holland & Frankie, her Aunts Anna and Penelope, her Uncle Kale, and her cousins Zane, Xavier, Jansessa, Emma, Ryder, and Rosie, and Callie, Justin, Hannah, (Callie's Best Friend) Rebecca, (Callie's Mom) Emily, (Callie's baby sister) Liz, (Callie's Older Sister), Shawn, (Callie's Brother-In-Law) Cassidy, Didi, Kira, Dallas, Elliott, Chuck, the cheerleaders & basketball team, Jimmy, & finally Ronnie. However, all I was really looking at was Ally. She was wearing a dark green dress with a white belt, gold leather jacket, gold heels and a green flower in her braided hair. Also, all the Jewelry I got her + her Ally necklace & golden hoop earrings. She looked hella frinken gorgeous. She walked over to me closed my open mouth, put my hands on her hips and brought my lips to hers. After about 5 seconds I kissed her back while she ran her hands through my hair. After a few minutes, we pulled away out of breath and I put my forehead on hers. We looked into each other's eyes for a few minutes while we got our breath back.
"You look gorgeous tonight," I told her
"And you look handsome like always."
We hugged before letting go of each other and going back to our friends/Ally's family. After about 15 more minutes. Cassidy, Kira, Dez, Elliot, Dallas, Trish, Ally and I threw on our caps and gowns and hopped into my family's van.
45 Minutes Latter
We saw Ally, Principle Wilson, Mrs. Daniels, & Mrs. Thompson all standing by the stage. Principal Wilson was holding the diplomas, Mrs. Thompson with the Manatee Water Bottles & Mrs. Daniels with the college info.
"Now let's put your hands together for your valedictorian Ally Dawson!" Wilson shouted.
"Good evening, friends and family, ladies and gentlemen, administrators and teachers. Before I get started, I would like to take a moment to thank all of you sitting here tonight for giving me this opportunity to speak in front of you on this special occasion and to live my greatest dream of all by doing it. It seems like just yesterday that I went shopping for homecoming dresses with my two best friends, Trish and Kira. What started as a trip to the mall turned into the worst night of my life. Nothing could compare to that moment. That evening I got a call from the hospital saying that my Aunt Paisley and Uncle Peter were killed in a car crash from a drunk driver. I was really close with my Aunt & Uncle so it hurt me to find out that they were dead. I was devastated and couldn't believe they passed away so suddenly. I know that you probably don't want to be reminded of this moment on what is supposed to be one of the happiest days our lives, but that moment changed everything for me. I became a cheerleader, fully got over my stage fright and am planning a world tour with my best friends and boyfriend soon after graduation. I know my Aunt & Uncle would be proud of me. Now I am standing here, which in itself is a feat, since I spent 6 months in therapy after the accident due to depression. My challenge for you is to think of your life as one grand opportunity. You may not be rich, skinny, beautiful, smart, strong, powerful, or famous, but you are something. Something important. Something meaningful. Something worthwhile. You are a person with the ability to make change, save lives, live to the fullest. Take nothing for granted. This life is one big adventure, so take it. And let others take theirs as well. Make good decisions—decisions that you can live with. You don't have to be a rock-star or a genius, a supermodel or a scientist. Just be you, and be a you that leaves the world a little brighter. Graduation is a new start with new opportunities. This community will always be incredibly thankful for all that you have done and will never forget the smiling, spirited faces that brightened each and every day. This community is a family. We take care of each other. As a class, we have been through more than we could have imagined in these past four years. Some more difficult to face than others. Yet we are sitting here for a reason. We are here because of our goals and dreams that have pushed us to accomplish all things. Look into the stands and to others around you, class of 2015. Every single person sitting here tonight sees something in you and believes that you will do great things in your lives. It doesn't matter what your plans are, or what you consider to be "great things." Just remember that you can. You can try, you can fail, you can try again. Success isn't measured in dollar bills. No matter what path you choose to follow as you progress into your future, you will be the best that you can be. Not only am I excited to see what lies ahead, I know that the people sitting here today and the people that support you feel the same way about you, class of 2015. We all believe in you. Let's make them proud and give our lives everything that we have to give because you never know what good things may come out of them. Congratulations, Class of 2015. And thank you!"
We clapped loudly for her. As she sat down beside Trish and Faith Dixon. Then Wilson started to give out the diplomas.
"Zerren Adams, Madison Calebs, Cassidy Davis, Allison Dawson, Patricia Del La Rosa, Dallas Ericson, Gabriela Edwards, Erika Fisher, Clayton Harris, Savanna Jacobs, Stacie Jones, Chuck McCoy, Austin Moon, Brian Perry, Louis Reed, Porter Rejects, Quincy Rice, Janie Rhodes, Zack Ross, Zoey Ross, Kimberly Ryan, Kira Star, Elliot Snow, Tori Summers, Kayden Wilder & Wyatt Williams and Dezmond Worthy," Wilson said. We all took the water bottles from Thompson & shook her hand, college info from Daniels & shook her hand and our diplomas from Wilson and shook his hand.
"I hope you all do very well in life. Every single one of you will be very missed, so Congratulations class of 2015!," Wilson Shouted.
We all threw our caps in the air. And after 1 hour of saying goodbye to each other and hugging and talking to all of our friends and family at our houses. Ally & I packed our Manatee Duffel Bags with everything we needed for the night before Cassidy, Kira, Dez, Elliot, Dallas, Trish, Ally and I headed to the buses with the rest of our class for the senior all night party in a resort in Orlando. Ally and I were set to preform by Trish, Jimmy and Ronnie and the class of 2015 would have fun together for the last time before heading our separate ways.
In Orlando
It was about Midnight here in Orlando. So far, we have gone swimming, eaten dinner, gone dancing, and played in the arcade. Right now, Ally & I were setting stuff up to perform. We are singing one duet, I'm singing one song and Ally's singing one song. The class of 2015 gathered around the stage while I started the show.
"What's up class of 2015? Are we having a good time tonight!?"
The crowd hollered!
"This is a new song called Never Close Our Eyes. I hope you guys like it."
I wish that this night would never be over
There's plenty of time to sleep when we die
So let's just stay awake until we grow older
If I had my way we'd never close our eyes, our eyes, never!
I don't wanna let a minute get away
Cause we got no time to lose
None of us are promised to see tomorrow
And what we do is ours to choose
Forget about the sunrise
Fight the sleep in your eyes
I don't wanna miss a second with you
Let's stay this way forever
It's only getting better if we want it to
You know that I wish that this night would never be over
There's plenty of time to sleep when we die
So let's just stay awake until we grow older
If I had my way we'd never close our eyes, our eyes, never!
It's so hard to think this could fade away
But what goes up must come down
Why can't we just live life with no consequence
And always live in the now
Forget about the sunrise
Fight the sleep in your eyes
I don't wanna miss a second with you
Let's stay this way forever
It's only getting better if we want it to
You know that I wish that this night would never be over
There's plenty of time to sleep when we die
So let's just stay awake until we grow older
If I had my way we'd never close our eyes, our eyes, never!
Oooh, yeah Oooh, yeah
You know that I wish that this night would never be over
There's plenty of time to sleep when we die
So let's just stay awake until we grow older
If I had my way we'd never close our eyes, our eyes, never!
Then Ally came out. I smiled at her and gave her a kiss on the cheek before handing her the mic and getting off the stage.
This song is called Me And You
Never known anyone like you before
Someone who could make me smile
When I'm falling down on the floor
Never laughed so hard 'till I met you
Somehow you get me when nobody else has a clue
It's okay to be me next to you
It feels good to be one of the two
Just like glue
Me and you
So glad I got a guy like you
Me and you
Always got each other's backs we do
'Cause everything's a little better
When you and I stick together
Stuck on you, me and you
If you need a shoulder, you got mine
If you're ever in a pinch, you know I'd give you my very last dime
Two peas in a pod, me and you
In perfect harmony we're bobbin' our heads to the groove
It's okay to be me next to you
It feels good to be one of the two
Just like glue
Me and you
So glad I got a guy like you
Me and you
Always got each other's back we do
'Cause everything's a little better
When you and I stick together
Stuck on you, me and you
You always got a friend, always got a friend
Always got a friend in me
Always got a friend, always got a friend
Always got a friend in you too
You always got a friend, always got a friend
Always got a friend in me
Always got a friend, always got a friend
That's the way it's gonna be
Me and you
So glad I got a guy like you
Me and you
Always got each other's back we do
'Cause everything's a little better
When you and I stick together
Stuck on you, me and you
Me and you, me and you
Always got a friend, always got a friend (oh yeah)
Always got a friend in me (me and you)
Always got a friend, always got a friend
Always got a friend in you too
'Cause everything's a little better (yeah)
When you and I stick together
Stuck on you, me and you
Then I came back on stage to preform our duet Perfect Harmony
When I first saw you didn't know what to think
But something about you is so interesting
I could see me and you being best friends
The kind of friends that finish each other's sentences
When I can't think of the right words to say
I just sing oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Come on and harmonize with my melody
And we'll sing oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ain't it a perfect harmony
I would have never thought I'd be here with you
To start a friendship that is so brand new
It's so amazing I have to say
Never met someone that had so much in common with me
Now I can look into your eyes all day
And just say oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I wanna harmonize with your melody
And we'll sing oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ain't it a perfect harmony
Sometimes in your if time you
Look and you search for someone just to care
Look around and it was there
And we didn't need to go nowhere
When I can't think of the right words to say (right words to say)
I just sing oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Come on and harmonize with my melody
And we'll sing oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ain't it a perfect harmony
You got me (I got you)
I got you (You got me)
Yeah you got me (I got you)
A perfect harmony
After the concert, Cassidy, Kira, Dez, Elliot, Dallas, Trish, Ally and I all went into a hotel room and played card games, truth and dare and spin the bottle. Dez & Ally had to kiss and Kira & Dallas had to kiss. We heard some pretty deep dark secrets from Trish that I don't want to repeat. At around 3:30 I rented a guitar from resort invited more of our class (only 6 – 7 since most of are asleep) and started playing and singing songs.
So let's sing
Na, na na na na, hey, ya
Come on and sing
Na, na na na na, hey, ya
This is our song
That's all that matters
'Cause we all belong right here together
There's nothing better than singing along
This is our summer
This is our song
Come grab your guitar
Sit by the fire
'Cause we all need a song
When we're weary and tired
We'll sit here together
And sing it out loud
This is our song
That's all that matters
'Cause we all belong right here together
There's nothing better than singing along
This is our summer
And this is our song
This is our song
This is our song
This is our song
Come on and sing
Na, na na na na, hey, ya,(hey ya)
Come on and sing
Na, na na na na, hey, ya(hey ya)
And come on and sing
Na, na na na na, hey, ya(hey ya)
Come on and sing
Na, na na na na, hey, ya(hey ya)
This is our song
That's all that matters
'Cause we all belong right here together
There's nothing better than singing along
This is our summer
(Our summer)
This is our song
That's all that matters
'Cause we all belong right here together
There's nothing better than singing along
This is our summer
This is our song
(This is our song)
This is our song
(This is our song)
This is our song
At 4:00 Dez crashed, 4:30 Trish, 4:45 Cass, 5:00 Kira, 5:15 Dallas, 5:30 Elliot and finally at 5:45 since Ally and I were the only ones left awake I wrapped my arms around her as she burred her head in my bare chest at around 6:00 we both crashed.
June 14th, 2015
Mr. Rose our supervisor woke us up at 12:00. We packed our bags and headed towards the buses. Once we got to Mariano High we all said goodbye to each other. The next few weeks were stressful, sad & fun for me and my gang. Ronnie & Jimmy finished recording our last albums, Trish, Dez, Ally and I packed our bags or boxes from MMK (Moons Mattress Kingdom), the music factory/Practice Room and from our houses to be sent to the apartment we all bought to live in after the tour when we are in college. It's right by NYU & MUNY so it will be easier for the four of us. Elliot is going to RISD, Cassidy is going to Stanford, Kira is going to Yale and Dallas is going to a community college here in Florida. We've been to at least 5 going away or graduation parties in these past 2 weeks. 1 my family & Ally's family put together, #2 The Worthy's & Del La Rosa's put together, #3 & #4 Kira & Elliot + Cassidy & Dallas put together and #5 Ronnie & Jimmy put together. Cassidy's party, however, turned out to be one of the worst nights of Ally's life.
A.N.: Yay they graduated, but what happened to Ally? You'll find out in Chapter 5. I hope to get 5 reviews and then I'll post the completed Chapter 5. Anyway time for some shout outs.
Theausllydoctor: As for Auslly's tour, we'll see, but as for Trace, I liked them together. I wonder what happened to him. I love High School Musical and believe they would to.
Daddysgirl11: I love the idea of Anti - bullying which is why I included it again and yeah Beauties and Bullies was really hard to watch. The songs take a lot of consideration so thank you. I can't believe you haven't finished the show yet. Get a move on girl! :)
