I was standing in the changing room with Molly, Ella, and Emma, putting my gown on. I looked in the mirror and sighed. Molly came up behind me and wrapped her arms around my waist and rested her head on my shoulder. She smiled "You look beautiful. Are you still nervous about graduating?"

I sighed and nodded "Yea. But not as much anymore. Chris talked to me last night. I know things will change, but there's nothing I can do about it so i'll just have to roll with the punches" She smiled and squeezed me. She let go and went to her bag to check her makeup "Don't forget we still have the next two months, and summer. And you know we'll go out with a bang" I laughed "Hell yea"

It was quiet for a second, but then I got an idea "Lets have a party!" Molly, Ella and Emma all looked at me excitedly "Where?" Emma asked. I thought for a second "My house. It's kind of big, there's nothing valuable that can't be put away, my mom goes away a lot. I really don't think she'd mind. We need to go out with a bang, and this can be it. We'll invite the whole graduating class, which is only about 100 kids. We'll have it as the after party from prom. What do you say?"

All the girls smiled at me and I had my answer. An announcement told us to go to the gym for our pictures, so we headed out. We walked over and stood with the boys. Ella ran to Teddy and screamed in his face "WE'RE HAVING A PAAAAARTYYY!" He winced at the volume of her voice "Oh are we?" She nodded fast. We told them all about what we were planning. They were just as excited as we were.

I heard the photographer call my name and I went and sat on the stool. This was my last school picture, I was a little nervous. Chris's voice rang through my head "We're gonna be fine" I smiled and a flash went off. The photographer told me to smile again. This time I looked at Chris, who was smiling at me. Another flash went off and the sample pictures printed out.

I was proud to say both of them turned out perfectly. I already made my mind up to pick the one where I was looking at Chris. I looked so happy and natural in that one.

The girls asked me to go prom dress shopping with them after school so when the bell rang we all piled in Emma's car. After trying on dress after dress after dress, I finally found the perfect one. The top was completely covered in rhinestones, It was tight around the waist and the bottom was a pale pink ( shop/viewitem-PD640679)

It was a bit expensive but my mom had given me some money to help pay for it. We piled back into Emma's car "Where to now?" All the girls turned around to look at me "We're going to get something to eat, AFTER we drop you off at home so you can ask your mom about the party" I sighed "Fine"

I sat down with my mom in the living room "Mom?" She looked at me and raised her eyebrows "Can I have a party after prom? I promise i'll make sure nothing gets broken and I wont let anyone drive after" She thought about it for a few seconds "I guess so. It's your last high school party in a sense. So as long as you keep everything in check, I don't see a problem" I smiled and hugged her "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!"

She laughed "Your welcome. But Andy I need to tell you something. Your father called this morning and asked if he could come to your graduation" I was silent for a few seconds "Oh..." She sighed "'My exact words" I shrugged "I guess. But make it clear to him that I still don't forgive him. Is um...is, she, coming" My mother's eyes wandered to the ground and she nodded. I sighed "Well. We have to meet the home wrecker at some point right?" She laughed "Don't call her tha-actually, never mind, go ahead" I laughed and kissed my mom on the forehead and walked away.

I stuck my head back in the room "And mom" she looked a me "I bet you're prettier than her" She smiled back at me "Thank you" I smiled and went to call everybody to tell the the party was on.
