I looked around me, to all my friends. We finally made it. After all that I had been through. I finally made it. The principal, Mr. Tenkon, went to the podium and rounded off into a speech about how he saw us when we were measly 9th graders and now we are seniors and finishing High School. I smiled when Grandpa waved ofudas in the air as a way to bless the ceremony. Mama was clapping wildly and taking pictures and Souta was playing with his Gameboy Advanced. My eyes landed on Inuyasha. His ears were neatly tucked underneath the baseball cap that he had for years. His eyes connected with mine. He smiled warmly but I could see clearly that he had no idea what was going on.
"…And now that they are leaving, all I can think of saying to them is YOUR OUTTA HERE!" And that signaled for the senior class to launch their caps in the air. The crowd erupted with applause but I could here "MY BABY IS GROWN!" over them all. I dashed off stage, diploma in hand. Mom immediately embraced me in a hug.
"I made it mama!" I cried onto her shoulder. I could feel my mother's tears drenching my shoulder. She let go and wiped her eyes.
"Good job sis." Souta said, eyes not leaving the small screen. I smiled, at lease he looked at me. My eyes drifted to Inuyasha, who was watching the Seniors doing the bunny hop on stage. He finally acknowledged my presence by saying, "What are they doing?"
"Its called happiness." I replied. Inuyasha smiled and embraced me. I felt a blush tint my body.
"Congratulations." He said into my hair. I could faintly hear it, but he mumbled "I love you."
"Right back at you." I answered and winked. He blushed, but in a happy way. I dashed back up to my class.
"Were outta here!" We all yelled at the same time.

Okay. That was kind of 328 words but that was a special.
