Oh and just to clear things up, you know when Trunks kisses Pan on the cheek that is just a friendly kiss. Sorta like a hug. Here is the next chapter.

~*~ Graduation day ~*~

I stood there wearing a long night sky robe and turned to look at the crowd that filled the hall. Tonight we were all gonna graduate and finally be adults. Goten held Bra's hand and looked like he was gonna pass out, he must have been really nervous about this day. I know I was.

I felt a hand squeeze mine softly. I turned to meet Trunks' handsome young face. He was smiling at me making my legs feel weak.

"Today's the day Pan," he pointed to the crowd where our parents sat. "All those people are here to see our great Panny graduate."

Laughing I hit him playfully on the shoulder. "Very funny Trunks you know as well as I do that every one here has got a chance at getting the greatest achiever award."

At each graduation, one graduate was awarded the greatest achiever. Pan worked hard to try get that award. She thought that if she won it Trunks would want her.

Every one fell silent as the principle walked on stage. In his hand was a list of all the graduates for that year. Pan smiled as Goten's name was called out. Chichi's voice could be heard over the crowd as Goten pulled the son grin and rubbed the back of his head.

Giving Goten a "helping hand" I pushed him towards the stage. Almost tripping Goten shook the principle's hand and got his diploma. Bowing once he turned and made his way back towards us.

Goten and Trunks exchanged a high five and laughed about how nervous he was. Bra was next. She went on to the stage filled with determination. It was like every one was watching her and this was her time in the light. Goten whistled when Bra winked at the crowd and ran off stage in a fit of giggles. Trunks looked at me and rolled his eyes. I just laughed.

A few more people were called and received their diploma. Trunks went up before me and received a huge applause from the audience. Being second in command for capsule Corp, Trunks was very well known. Once he received his diploma he walked off stage.

He gave me thumbs up and Goten another high five. Just as I was about to congratulate him, he spotted Marron and went and embraced her. I turned away not wanting to see the "show of emotion".

"Next we have Pan Son to the stage."

"Oops looks like I'm up now" I gave my best smile as I went on stage. I blushed as I saw Chichi and mum standing up clapping and whistling. Gohan tried his best to calm them down but failed. He shrugged his shoulders at me and laughed.

I turned my attention back towards the principle and accepted my diploma. As soon as I collected it I turned and ran into my unexpected uncle's arms. I looked down at me and smiled rubbing my hair. He led me towards the group.

"We finally did it Pan!" Screeched Bra as she bounced up and down happily. "No more school."

"Yeah for you maybe but for us "intelligent" people who work hard for a living have to go to college." Bra stuck her tongue out at Trunks who just rolled his eyes at her. Bra was offered a modelling carrier so she didn't have to worry about work.

"Hey guys the principle is about to announce the new owner to the achievement award."

Every one went quite. This was the part I have been waiting for. I held my breath as he read the envelope in his hand. With a huge smile now plastered on his face, he turned and faced the audience.

"I am proud to announce that this years greatest achiever is Miss Son Pan!"

My mouth dropped in shock. I had won. I was in to shock to walk so Bra got behind me and shoved me towards the audience. A huge applause filled my head as I approached the principle.

I bowed my head with a smile on my face. It was still hard to believe I won. I faced my parents in the crowd who were all standing up cheering for me. Even dad couldn't help standing up this time.

"Wow" was the only thing I could say as I made my way to the party where every one was waiting to congratulate me.

"Oh my Panny is finally a young woman. I knew she would be like Gohan I just knew it." Sobbed my grandmother as she hugged the life out of me. Dad pulled her off gently letting me breath.

I look around the room for the person I won the award for. I excused my self from my family as I spotted him alone by the punch bowl. I grabbed a cup to make it look like I was getting a drink.

He turned to face me and smiled. I melted away. I always do when he smiles those heavenly smiles at me. I smiled back.

"Congratulations Pan," he said as he took a sip of his drink. "I knew you would get it. You worked hard for it."

All I could do was nod my head in agreement and say a very soft thanks.

"Lets go outside Pan it is getting a bit hot in here." Trunks extended his arm towards me.

"Sure" I replied and took his offer. Arm in arm we left the school building and headed towards the School Lake. (Think of it as one of those schools simular to Hogwarts but in a building. A school in the country side should I say.)

We sat down and gazed at the stars in silence. I noticed he turned his head and was looking at me. I panicked thinking it was something on my face.

"What's wrong do I have something on my?" I put my hands on my head trying to figure out what he was looking at.

He chuckled and put my hands down but did not release them. I blushed slightly thanking Dende it was dark out.

"No nothing is wrong Pan, I was just thinking how beautiful you look tonight."

I smiled up at him. He never said things like that to me. I could tell even though it was dark that he was smiling too. I decided now was a good time to tell him how I felt towards him. I don't care what he says just as long as he knows I love him.

"Trunks I." His hand cut me of by placing them on my lips.

"Pan I want to tell you something I have been meaning to tell you all night." Our faces were only a few inches apart. I could fell his breath on my face.

"Yes."

"Pan I wanted to tell you that I."

His lips brushed mine. We were just a second from kissing when someone called his name. It was Marron she was looking for Trunks inside.

"NO!" I screamed mentally as Trunks jumped back quickly. Just a few seconds to go. Why had he stopped?

"I wanted to say congratulations on getting that award." He stood up and gave me a quick friendly kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you later then Pan."

And with that he was gone. I watched him slip away again back inside to rejoin Marron. I was so close.

Wiping a few tears that had managed to fall from my eyes, I got up a left for the party. Tomorrow I'll ask dad to spar. I need to clear my mind. I put on my best fake smile and entered the doors.

I continued on that evening like nothing happened. I pretended that I never noticed Marron placing her arms on Trunks' waist. I pretended that it never hurt. But most of all I pretended I didn't need Trunks. But I do.

I should have told him how I felt. Should have told him I loved him. My mouth wouldn't work. But my heart says a thousand things. He only saw me as a friend. How I wish he knew. I love you. I love you. I love you.

Well that's the next chapter up. Thanks for reviewing and please tell me what you think of my other stories. If you have any requests for stories then I would love to hear them. Till next time.
