Well, I'm in the writting mood again.
Here you all go.
"Can you believe we're graduating today?" Riley squealed in excitment.
"No I can't." I said. The truth is, I couldn't believe it. It seemed like my freshman year started 5 minutes ago. Now here we are, my whole class, sitting on the track of Buckenmeyer Stadium waiting for our names to be called to recieve our diplomas.
"I can't stand this terrible heat." Riley said fanning herself with the program. I was doing the same. Jenna was panting terribly.
"Me too, hopefully the speeches don't take forever..." I told her.
The speeches went on and on. It was atleast 90 degrees and humid out so that didn't help at all. In a dress, cap and gown, you sweat up a fricken waterfall. Four students presented the what I like to call "College Speeches" about daring, persistance, desire, and dreaming. Finally, our names were about to be called. I was in the middle of the pack with Jenna by my side. The now six year old german shepard was still quick as a whip.
"Reighgan Beatrice Johnson" My principal called out. Jenna lead me up to the stage to recieve my high school diploma. I stuck my hand out for her to shake, and she placed the folder in it. Jenna lead me back to my seat.
I had finally graduated with a 4.0 grade point average. A huge accomplishment.
My mom and Kale were there aswell as my grandparents from both sides. I could hear Kale's voice screaming as my name was called. My Uncle John and Aunt Tia were there aswell, along with their three kids Sara, Alex, and Nancy. Unfortuanatly, my boyfriend of three and a half years couldn't be there. To big of a crowd, along with having a terrifying insulin attack a few days before. I'd much rather him be at home than be here anyway. I wouldn't want him to be attacked by any fans in the audience.
It wasn't private anymore that Nate and I were together. After it went public, everyone at school wanted to be my friend. Literally, even Shelby was being nice to me. I was now what you say, "popular" at school. I didn't find much bother in it; all everyone did differently was just talk to me more often and wanted to know alot about Nate and I. We never really voice how our relationship is going.
We hardly ever fight. The only major fight we've ever had was when he found out about my tattoo I had had ever since I was fourteen. I was seventeen now, soon to be 18 in July. He was upset more than mad that I never told him about it. He's over it now. Afterall, it was about 7 months after he asked me to be his girlfriend. We havn't had a fight like that ever since.
After getting pictures with the family; aunts, uncles, cousins, and of course mom, Kale and Jenna, my mom held my graduation party about an hour after graduation was over. Nate and his family came. It was just a small party with immediate family and some friends. My mom had made about five posterboards she said, full of pictures. One board had nothing but pictures of Nate and I. Nate had been graduated for almost 2 years since he was homeschooled. He was only 10 months older than me.
Mom said there was about five tables and a tent set up in the back yard. I was sitting down eating by myself when I felt a very fammiliar pair of strong arms wrap themselves around under my arms.
"Congratulations gorgeous." Nate whispered in my ear, and kissed me on the cheek. I giggled and turned around to face him.
"Why, Thank you." I said smiling, and he planted a kiss on my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"I'm so proud of you." He said with his genuine voice, touching our noses.
"I'm just happy I was able to make it through High School. Who knows about college!" I said laughing.
Nate and I never really discussed our future plans with eachother, only about ourselves. He isn't going to college. He went solo from the band of brothers. I still don't know what I'm going to do yet.I can't have surgery on my eyes untill I'm eighteen years old. There's no way I'm going to college blinde. We sat down.
"Have you schedualled for your surgery yet hun?" He asked, sounding a little nervous. I shook my head and sighed.
"No, not yet..." I carried on. "If I get it durring summer, I'm going to have to take the first semester of college off."
"I think you should get it as soon as you can Reigh." He said putting his hand on my knee. I just sighed, unsure about what to do.
"Congratulations Reighgan!" Nates mom said from behind us. I stood up to give her a hug.
"Thank you so much." I said as I embraced her.
Nates mom and I talked for a while, before the rest of the family came up to congratulate me with hugs. They finally, Nate and I went inside to sit after an exhausting afternoon. He lead me to the couch and I sat next to him, leaning my head on his shoulder.
"How're you feeling today?" I asked him about his insulin attack the other day.
"I'm feeling alot better than what I was." He told me. I nodded and yawned. "Someone's exhausted." he said giggling. I shook my head.
"I am not tired Nate." I whined as I rubbed my eyes and snuggled up to him. He laughed.
"I think you are my love." He said as he wisped me into his arms and started to carry me up to my room.
"Naaaaaaaate" I whined. I really was tired though, I didn't even try to fight against him.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." He said chuckling. He sat me down on my bed, and took my shoes off for me. He kissed me on the forhead.
"Don't go!" I mumbled, turning twards him. He looked at me and I could sence him smile. He crawled in next to me.
"I'll stay untill you fall asleep." He said and kissed me. I burried my head into his side.
"I was so scared for you the other day." I whispered to him. He touched his nose to mine.
"I was too..." He trailed on. "I guess it was just an overdose. I wasn't paying attention."
"I was so worried... When your mom told me the news, I hated that there was nothing I could do..." I said pressing my forehead to his.
"There was nothing you could do hun." He said.
"I wish I could've atleast driven..."
There was a short silence between us.
"I can't wait to get my surgery." I told him. "I'll finally be able to see... to see you."
I attemted to kiss him, and missed... He guided me.
"That way you can properly kiss me." He said with humor. I laughed
"Exactly." I mumbled with my lips still attatched to his.
REVEIW :D
