Chapter 3

Summary- Well here is the long awaited Graduation chapter. The person I dedicate this chapter to is pockygirl2001 who really wanted this chapter done. So please enjoy and review bye!

Anita had gone back to school a week before Graduation. Everyone was so glad to have her back, Hisa invited her to a sleepover at her house with all her other friends. Anita gladly accepted and called Michelle and told her where she was going to be at that she would be back the next day. Michelle was so happy Anita was back and doing things with her friends. She told anita to come home real quick before she went to Hisa's house and get her overnight stuff. When school was out Anita came home with Hisa and Junior she quickly got her overnight stuff and was ready to go. She saw Junior standing there and said to him...

"I'm sorry this is a girl's sleepover party so I can't spend time with you tonight." She said sadly.

Junior hugged her "You need to spend time with your friends talking about girly stuff and what not, I'll be fine."Hisa interrupted she had been talking toToru on her cell phone "Uh Junior Toru just called me he said that the Baseball team is having a get together because of your last game victory. He wants youto call him before 6:00." Okay, thank-you Hisa" Junior said and Hisa walked outside and waited for Anita.

Anita kissed Junior and said "You need to spend time with your friends too talking about boy stuff" Anita said as she pretended to be disgusted. "I love you Junior." Anita added laying her head on his chest.

I love you too very much" Junior said kissing her forehead.

"Well, I gotta go don't want to keep Hisa and the others waiting." Anita said suddenly remembering that Hisa was outside.

"You have fun Anita dear see you tomorrow." Michelle said waving.

When Anita was out of sight Michelle closed the door. "I'm glad she's gone tonight so we can start planning this party." Michelle said

"A party"? Junior said questioningly.

"It's a Graduation Party for you and Anita both but I'm letting you in on it because you know how Anita is about parties." Michelle said

"Yes, I know how she is." Junior said chuckling lightly at the past parties that they've thrown for Anita.

"So, can you stay and help? Because we need your input on this too, it is your party too" Michelle explained.

Yes, I can stay and help for awhile but I'm going to go to that Baseball party in a couple of hours and I need to call Toru. Can I use your phone" Junior asked.

"Why, of course you can" Michelle said smiling.

Junior was about to use the phone and call up Toru when he stopped and said.

"Michelle, I need to talk to you about something important that has been on my mind lately." Junior said.

"Junior you can always come and talk to me, what's wrong?"

"Well it has to do with Anita but please don't tell her." Junior asked "Junior talk to me, what's wrong with you and Anita"? Michelle asked concerned.

The Day before Graduation

It was a lovely afternoon when Anita came back from the slumber party with her friends. She was glad she went. They had lots of fun shopping, talking about their boyfriends and playing games. Anita's style had changed a great deal from the time she was twelve years old. She liked going to the mall, putting on some makeup, and other things that teenage girls do. She was still athletic and the same person on the inside.

"I'm home" Anita called as she came through the door.

"Hello, Anita-dear did you have fun at the sleepover last night"? Michelle asked.

"Oh it was lots of fun I'm glad I went. So where are Nenene and Maggie?"

"They went in the city for sightseeing; they'll be back in a few hours." Michelle lied they actually went to get supplies for the party.

"Oh, that's nice" Anita said

"Would you like some lunch. Or a piece of chocolate cake?" Michelle asked

"We had lunch an hour ago. But I would like some cake." Anita said she couldn't resist chocolate cake.

So Michelle got a piece of cake for her and milk and tea for herself and sat down at the table. "Anita there something I want to talk to you about."

"Yeah, what is it?" Anita asked before taking a big swig of her milk.

"Well after you had left Junior stayed and said he had something important to talk to me about and it involved you and him" Michelle said.

"Yes go on" Anita said wanting to know what was going on.

So Michelle explained to Anita everything that Junior had said about her getting in to those colleges and how he didn't want her to leave but he didn't want her to give up a good opportunity because of him. After Michelle was finished Anita just sat in her chair at all the feelings he had pent up inside of him that he wouldn't share with her because he was afraid.

"I have to talk to him" Anita said getting up and rushing to the door.

"Anita-dear, Junior told me that in complete confidence and I said I wouldn't tell you" Michelle said

"I'm glad you told me Michelle cause I need to talk to him and we need to get this worked out. I don't want him feeling this way" Anita said going out the door and slamming it behind her.

Anita took the elevator up to the third floor and knocked on Junior's apartment door. Junior opened the door.

"Hi, Anita"

"Hi, want to go for a ride?" Anita asked.

"Sure" Junior said.

So the two hopped in Junior's car to a secluded area where they could see the sunset over the horizon.

"Junior, why didn't you tell me how you were feeling before"? Anita asked trying to start up conversation.

"I don't what you're talking about" Junior tried to say.

"Michelle told me the conversation she had with you about me getting chosen to those colleges. Why didn't you tell me how you felt before, why did you hide it from me" Anita said looking at him starting to feel her anger rise.

"It's because" Junior started to say. "I saw how happy you were getting chosen to Harvard, Yale, and Tokyo University, that's quite a plateful. I didn't want to be away from you but at the same time I didn't want you to miss a great opportunity to be here with me." Junior said with his head down. Anita could not believe what she heard and felt guilty for getting angry.

"Junior, look at me." Anita said tilting his head up to her. "Just because I might go to a college in America doesn't mean that I won't be with you. I love you and going away to a different school won't ever change my love for you." Anita said.

"It won't" Junior said looking at her in the eyes.

"No, of course not you should know that by now Junior, you're the only man that I love and want in my life forever."

"I'm sorry, it's just I thought I lost you once and I don't want to take the chance of losing you again but I don't want you too give up your dreams."

"Junior, you are one of my dreams come true. No matter where I end up you'll always be by my side" Anita said.

"I love you Anita" Junior said taking her in his arms and holding her tightly as the two lovers looked up at the stars thinking of what the future will bring for them.

Graduation Day

It was about fifteen minutes before the actual ceremony took place. Everyone was running around like their heads had been cut off trying to get everything ready. But nobody was as nervous as Anita was standing there clutching her speech. Hisa went up to her friend.

"Are you okay"? Hisa said putting her hand on Anita.

"Yeah, I'm just nervous I've never given a speech before." Anita admitted.

"You'll do great" Junior said coming up beside her and giving her a kiss. "I have faith in you.

"Thanks" Anita said as she began to calm down. Before they knew it was already time to line up and march to their seats. After everyone was seated the principal came up and said a few words congratulating the class then he introduced Anita.

"Now, I would like to call up this year's valedictorian Miss Anita King!" Everyone stood up and applauded as Anita made her way up to the podium with her speech in hand. When she got up there she saw everyone looking and smiling. She began her speech.

My fellow Classmates

I have waited for this day to come and now that it's here I don't want it to end. As you all know I suffered a terrible accident Prom Night. The doctor's thought that I wouldn't make it through the first night. Well lucky for me they were wrong. I don't think I would have been able to stand up here today if it hadn't of been for the love and support of my sisters Michelle, Maggie, and Nenene. My friends Hiasami, Toru, Yomiko, Nancy, Drake, and all my other friends at this school. Most importantly though I wouldn't of been able to get through without the love of my life Junior who was by my side the entire time. I realize that most people wouldn't have been so lucky and I owe all to my family and friends so I say thank you to them for being in my life. After today we are all going to leave this place and embark on a new journey in life. One last message I want to leave you my classmates. Is to always follow your dreams and make them come true no matter how difficult they may seem. Thank you for listening and best of luck Class of 2005.

As Anita was finished she looked up from her paper and saw that everyone was giving her a standing ovation she was so happy that tears formed in her eyes as she sat down to take her seat. Then diplomas were handed out. As Anita walked up to get hers she saw Michelle with a camera in her hand wildly taking pictures. Anita just had to laugh. Then the Principal came back up and said I present to you

THE CLASS OF 2005

With that said everyone threw their hats in the air laughing and hugging each other. Anita and Hisa embraced, Toru and Junior patted each other on the back, Hisa and Toru hugged and kissed, and Junior came up swept Anita off her feet and kissed her passionately. After all the craziness died down Michelle, Maggie, Nenene, Yomiko, Nancy and Drake came up to congratulate Anita and Junior

"Anita Junior we are so proud of you." All of them said hugging them.

"Thank you" Anita and Junior both said.

"Now come on we have something for you." Michelle said

So Junior took Anita took Junior's hand and followed the rest of them. Leaving their school days behind and beginning a bright new future.
