Chapter 18
Finally it was the day of Trunks and Laura's graduation. In a couple of hours it would be over and they would be free, never to come back to this so called prison. Since Trunks and Laura were in different homerooms, they wouldn't be standing near each other. The graduation would start in a couple of minutes. Unlike the 8th grade graduation were it was inside, this big graduation for the seniors was outside by the football field. Trunks and Laura's family were all in the stands waving and smiling. Then finally it began, the band starting playing there walk in music which was the same music as in the 8th grade. They both started walking towards there seats and they could here there parents cheering for them. When they past the stands they smiled and waved. Finally they got to the seats and sat down. Once they did the principal started to talk about how the year went and what people did. Then the valedictorian made her big speech on how today was a special day for everyone. Finally it was time for everyone to get there diplomas. One by one kids got up to get there diplomas. When it was Trunks turn Bulma let off two fog horns and cheered his name. He walked up and got his diploma and turned to wave at his parents. They took a picture of him and then he went back to his seat. Then it was Laura's turn. She walked up, shook the principal's hand and took her diploma both her sister and her parents let off fog horns and cheered. She turned to look at them as they took pictures of her. Then she went back to her seat. After everyone's name was called, everyone cheered and threw there hats into the air.
There was a huge party being held at Capsule Corp for Trunks and Laura's graduation. There was a huge DJ and so much food that was being catered. All of Laura and Trunks friends were there having a great time.
"Were finally done with school" said Laura smiling.
"Yeah thank goodness that we don't ever have to go back" said Trunks. Everyone was sitting around eating there dinner when Bulma stood up to make a speech.
"Everyone" said Bulma clanking her fork against her glass. "I'd like to make a toast to all the graduates of 2004. May they have a wonderful and successful future." Everyone cheered and clanked the glasses together. After everyone went home, Laura went to go talk to Trunks. He was still cleaning up after the party.
"Trunks come here" said Laura. He stopped what he was doing and went over to her.
"What is it Laura?" asked Trunks.
"Tomorrow is my friend's graduation back at my old high school" said Laura. "I want to see them graduate. Do you want to come with me? You would be able to see all the other people that I used to go to school with."
"Sure I'll come with you" said Trunks. "I'd like to see how it was before I met you."
"Plus when Vanessa and Taylour were here" said Laura. "They told me that there was rumors going around the school, that the reason why I never came back was that I was dead."
"Are you serious?" said Trunks shocked.
"Yeah, and that makes me really angry" said Laura. "So I want to go back, and show them that I'm not dead."
"Well that's exactly what we'll do" said Trunks smiling. "We'll show them."
The next day, Laura and Trunks got up early and took Trunks jet to New Jersey. The graduation started at noon, it was different from there graduation where it started at 6. They got to New Jersey in plenty of time. When they got there they were early so they paid a visit to Laura's family. When it was time they took off up the street towards the school. Trunks found a parking spot and parked. They both got out and headed towards the track were everybody was. When they got to the stands, Laura saw her friends taking to each other before the graduation started.
"Trunks look there's some of my friends" said Laura. "Let's go talk to them."
"Alright Laura" said Trunks. He took her hand and went over to her friends. Vanessa looked up and saw Laura walking over towards her.
"Laura" said Vanessa running to give her a hug. "You made it."
"Yeah" said Laura. "I wouldn't miss you guys graduate."
"Laura I'd like you to meet my boyfriend Matt" said Vanessa smiling.
"Hi Matt it's nice to meet you" said Laura giving him a hug.
"It's nice to meet you to" said Matt. "Vanessa told me all about you."
"Well that's good to know" said Laura smiling.
"I see you brought Trunks with you" said Vanessa.
"Of course" said Laura. "I would never go anywhere without him. Plus I'm going to show them once in for all that I'm not dead. So where are all those damn popular people?"
"Over there in that big group" said Taylour walking over towards them.
"Good" said Laura smiling. "Come on Trunks let's go over and make a grand opening."
"Ok Laura" said Trunks. He took her hand, and followed Laura over to where they were.
All the popular kids were huddled in a group talking about random things. Some were talking about there future, others were just talking about stupid things. One of them saw Laura walking over towards them, and informed there so called leader.
"Hey Kaitlyn isn't that Laura?" asked Amanda. "Look she has a boy with her." Kaitlyn turned to where Amanda was pointing and saw that Laura was walking over towards them. Her face went all white and turned into complete shock.
"Hey everybody" said Laura smirking. "How was your last year of highschool?"
"It was fine" said Kaitlyn snobby. "So where have you been all year. Not like I care or anything."
"I went to get better schooling" said Laura. "Oh I'd like you all to meet my fiancé Trunks."
"Hi guys it's nice to meet all of you" said Trunks with the same smirk on his face as Laura.
"Fiancé?" said Kaitlyn. "Your getting married?"
"I sure am in a month I believe" said Laura. "So which one of you started the "The reason why I'm gone, is I'm dead!" thing, and don't think that I'm being stupid. I do keep in touch with my close friends, and they paid me a little visit last month."
"We were just fooling around" said Kaitlyn.
"Sure you were" said Laura sarcastically. "Well look whose better now. The girl you always called ugly, and not popular is getting married to the hottest and best man in the world, and all you got is your yourself and your friends. I hope that the rest of your life is a living hell just like the way you put my life through for the past three years." With that said Laura turned around with Trunks right beside her, and walked back over to her friends. Everyone else stared in shocked and had nothing else to say.
Laura told all her friends' good luck after all of them congratulated her on her performance with the popular kids. They all started cracking up till tears fell from there face. After that, Laura and Trunks went to sit down, because it was about to start. When Laura's friends all went up to get there diplomas she cheered as loud as she could. Her friends each turned to wave at her before they went back to there seats. All the popular kids were still looking at her in some what of a shock. Laura would smile and wave and they would quickly turn there head away from her. Every time they did that she would laugh to herself. It was just a very funny picture, and she couldn't help herself. After the graduation Laura said goodbye to her friends. They all gave her and Trunks a hug, and said that they would see her at her wedding. Then Laura and Trunks left.
