"…Craig Manning" Mrs. Hatzilakos said with a smile
Craig walked up to the podium and shook her hand. The moment Craig had been waiting for was finally here. He took his diploma from her hand and walked to where the others were sitting. He looked back where Manny was taking pictures and gave him a big smile. Craig turned back and watched as his other peers walked down the aisle just as he did.
"That is our class of 2006" Mrs. Hatzilakos said
Everyone clapped for them.
"Give yourselves a round of applause!" She exclaimed
"I thought I was going to trip or something." Spinner said to Craig
"The only thing you would be tripping on is your ego." Paige said
"Your ego" Spinner mocked
Manny and Craig were walking down the halls of the school.
"To think you won't be walking down these halls anymore" Manny said with a smile "It will be weird without you here. I won't have anyone to walk me to my classes, or bring me my homework when I'm sick"
"Emma can give you, your homework." Craig insisted
"Yeah, but it won't come with a kiss" Manny added with a smile
"Manny sit down with me" Craig said showing Manny to the bench on the other side of them.
Manny and Craig sat down. Craig gave Manny a kiss.
"What's wrong?" Manny asked
"I…I love you Manny" Craig said
"I love you too." Manny said "What's going on"
"I…I …"
"Craig just spit it out"
"I...I can't be with you Manny"
Manny's smile slowly faded. Manny started to tear up.
"Why Craig…why?" Manny whispered to scared to have tears roll down her cheeks.
"Your in grade 11 Manny, I am going to be in college. You were just a high school thing."
Tears now rolled down Manny's cheeks. She slapped Craig got up and started to walk away.
"Manny it was for the good of our relationship" Craig yelled after her "We can just be friends"
"Craig I want to be anything but friends with a basterd like you" Manny screamed
She looked one more time at Craig. And that was the last time she saw him.
