Chapter 3
The day had arrived. Jessie, Hadji and I left before Race and the others since we had to be there early. The graduation was held at a small arena.
We filed in to our seats while that hideous music was played by the school band. I sat next to Hadji; Jessie sat on the other side of him.
The speeches seemed to last forever. Finally, the principle started calling out names.
She called out some names before us.
"Jessica Marie Bannon." She called out. Jessie walked across the stage and grabbed her diploma.
"Hadji Singh." The principle called. That was when I saw them. My parents were standing in the aisle. I knew I was the only one who could see them.
"Jonathan Benton Quest." She called and I walked across the stage with a big smile and received my diploma and headed back to my seat.
When I sat down, I glanced back toward where I saw my parents and I saw them smile and disappear. I leaned over to talk to Hadji and Jess.
"I saw them!" I whispered.
"Who?" Hadji asked.
"My parents. Just before my name was called I saw my mom and dad standing in the aisle. They just now left."
"See, I told you they'd be watching." Jessie said with a smile. I was privately surprised that they believed me.
