Chapter 1- Class of 2010
The graduates', parents and friends were standing outside the gym waiting until the principal will let them in. Meanwhile Matt, Reggie and Lanny were all crowded in their small group of their own.
"Well, guys I guess this is the last were going to see this school again. Yeah, seniors rule!" Matt said in an excited voice.
"Yeah, we do! Huh, Lanny?" Reggie asked in an excited voice.
Lanny shook his head up and down while the string on his hat swung back and forth.
"Yeah, but I spent a lot of time on my speech." Matt said with a heavy sigh.
"Man, what'd you write?" Reggie asked.
"Um, I'll say about 12 sentences about you guys and.. oh I almost gave away the surprise!" Matt said.
Reggie and Lanny just stared blankly at him.
"What?" Matt asked.
"What's the surprise? Oh...oh.." Reggie asked, and then figured it out.
He whispers to Lanny. "Lanny, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Lanny winked one eye and shook his head yes at him.
Reggie smiled and said, "Matt is it about Melina?"
Matt blushed and said, "No.. maybe.. well.."
Before Matt can answer the principal came out and said, "Come on in everyone!"
The parents and friends had taken their seats and at the front of the room the students were on the stage sitting down. Reggie was standing up ready to give his speech:
"My speech is about my friends Matt, Lanny and Melina. Matt's my friend because he's cool and very talented at playing tricks. He's a great friend and I want it to stay that way. Lanny's my friend because he's smart, cool and a great friend, but sometimes he talks so much that he won't even shut up. That scares me sometimes. I'm just kidding, but I really want to hear him talk one day. That'll be cool, but that doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that he's my friend. It's going to stay that way! Let's move it on with Melina, she's my friend. I know she's a girl but I have to admit that she has style. I mean she hits like a boy. I'm serious. She's a great friend to hang out with. And I think that she likes Matt, because she's always picking on him. Anyway, I think I have some of the best friends in the entire world and our friendship will last forever!"
Reggie sat down then the next person, who is Lanny, came up to give his speech.
Then the principal came up to him and said, "Lanny, do you want to give a speech?"
Lanny looked down on the floor and then looked up at him and nodded his head yes.
The principal just went back to his seat.
Lanny turned to the audience. His hands were shaking while he held his speech paper. He was nervous than ever. He wanted to sit back down, but he wanted to speak really bad that he just couldn't sit back down. 'Time to open up and show people how I really feel!' He thought.
He held the paper out in front of him and started clicking his teeth together. Then he started to move his lips a little. He gulps and begins to read a poem he wrote:
"I make no s-sound.
Why not?
'Cause I just don't know why.
It's not a disease.
I didn't catch it from someone,
And you can't catch it from me.
I just have a little problem talking in front of people.
My friends and family try to help me talk in front of them.
I try and try but nothing seems to work.
I make no sound.
Here I am standing still, unable to open up.
I just want to open up and tell them how I feel inside.
But I can't.
'Cause I make no sound.
But even though I make no sound.
My family and friends will always be there for me,
Until they hear me make a sound.
And when I do make a sound,
I want to thank them for all the support they gave me.
I make no sound.
And I know that someday, somewhere I will make a sound.
Everyone clapped and cheered.
Lanny bowed and said with a smile on his face, "T-thank you!" Then he took his seat happily.
Matt stood up and began to read his speech:
"Okay, my speech is about my friends Reggie, Lanny and Melina. Reggie's a cool friend, he's always thinking of ways we can do if we get bored. He's always been there for me through the sun and heavy weather. So you rock, don't ever change! (Laughs) Lanny, well I have to say that he's my number one best friend ever. Yeah, I know that he doesn't talk a whole lot. Well, he just did talk. Anyway, he didn't have to talk any time soon because I like him as a quiet friend, but I kind of wanted him to talk. So Lanny thanks for talking. Also you rock and don't ever change! Okay, move it on with Melina, she's used to be my best friend, but now she's my girlfriend. We have been going out ever since 9th grade. Even though she's my girlfriend I'll still be her best friend, but that might change after I ask her this. Melina, I known you since I don't know when and I've been thinking and I really, really love you and.."
He walked over to Melina and put one knee one the floor. "S-so will you marry me, Melina?"
Melina was shocked and didn't know what to say when Matt asked her that.
"I-I-I..." She said nervously.
To be continued..
What will Melina say, yes or no? Find out in chapter 2!
