Friends Forever (Graduation)
----------------------------------
Whoever thought that it was already the end of the year for the ducks? They were going to graduate. Everybody thought it was a long way off, but the years went so fast. They all knew which college they're going to, but they were scared to tell each other, by means of being separated. And graduation was tonight and the graduates have to get ready early, 2 hours early, meaning 6.
"Can't believe we have to wear heels…augh..." Julie whined as she looked at the shoes.
"The worst thing is, we have to wear something formal underneath. And it has to be white," Connie pointed out.
"Yea…but…do you know how high these things are? I'm practically gonna fall on stage…unless I go barefooted…I don't understand how girls wear these things...gonna break an ankle.."
Then there was a knock on the door. Julie got up from where she was sitting to unlock the door. She saw Adam, Guy, and Charlie at the door.. all ready.
"You girls are slow…." Charlie said.
"How about…we don't want to get ready?" Connie retorted.
"Look girls," Guy started. "I know graduation came so fast, but that doesn't mean you like…It's hard to explain…"
"What he means is that you can't like, not dress into your gowns or something because you don't want to graduate...right?" Adam explained and he looked at Guy.
"Exactly. Took the words out of my mouth," Guy nodded his head.
"No…that's not it.." said Connie.
"It's just that…we have to wear these things!" Julie complained as the girls showed them the shoes and the outfits.
"So?" Charlie asked. "I see nothing wrong with them."
"I don't get it," Adam said.
"Me neither….is it because they're white?" Guy asked.
"Nah…can't be…I think it's because the skirt is too short," Adam tried to explain.
"You want them to become Jewish?" Charlie said sarcastically.
"How about… we have to dress like "ladies"," Julie said.
"I knew it!" Adam exclaimed.
"Tch, no you didn't," Guy mumbled.
The girls rolled their eyes. They got up and pushed them out of the door.
"Yo…what are you girls doing?" Charlie asked.
"Peeping toms…" was all the girls said.
With that, they closed the door on them and locked it.
"Do you think we gave them ideas?" Julie asked Connie.
"Nah….don't think so…There's no way you can see through that keyhole..." Connie said as she looked at the keyhole. "But, just to be safe, change in the bathroom…I'll wait until it's my turn…"
Auditorium
"Man…I'm so nervous…" Ken fidgeted around with his gown.
"Calm down, dude," as Portman slapped him on the back.
"Easy for you to say… are you the one playing the piano for our song?" Ken asked rhetorically. Portman just put his hands up.
"Thought so…" Ken mumbled.
"Man, you'll do fine! I mean… I never heard you make a mistake in my life," Russ said reassuring Ken.
"This is graduation… I mean…. A lot of people are going to be here?" Ken answered in a questioning way.
"At least you're better than Charlie…that boy makes a lot of mistakes," Averman said while shaking his head.
"What did you say?" Charlie said as he walked over to them.
"We were just saying how, you're such a great captain and that we'll miss you the most!" Averman defended.
"Uh-huh…I heard something about… I suck on the piano.." He said.
"Well…that's kinda true…" Ken muttered.
"Are you asking for, a what? Uh, a battle? 'Cause you're on Kenny boy!" Charlie smirked.
"You're going down.." Ken just smiled.
And with that, they ran towards the piano.
"Wow… buncha lowlifes… Fighting over who's better…" Russ shook his head.
"Graduates! Graduates!" Dean spoke into the microphone. Sadly, no one heard him.
"GRADUATES!" he screamed into it. And yet, no one heard him. So he started singing.
"The sun will come up, tomorrow. Bet your bottom dollar-"
"YOU SUCK!" someone screamed.
"Excuse me?"
"NOTHING!"
"I thought so. Now that I have your attention, will you please go outside? AND YOU TWO!" Dean pointed at Ken and Charlie who were at the piano. "It's nice that you're practicing and you want to take his place, but don't you think you should stop and look where everybody is going?"
The two shrugged their shoulders and ran out of the auditorium where everybody was. But then, since there were to many students, they had to go outside, just to make sure the people who were going to see them graduate don't see them.
Everybody went into their little groups, like at lunch. The cheerleaders, football team, basketball team, track team, soccer team, swim team, punk skaters, Goth people, nerds, orchestra, band, etc. There were only a couple of people from these groups. Then there's the Ducks. They always went into their little group. The girls took their shoes off and sat down. The guys sat down too, but some of them sat down on the ground, so they had to lift their gown.
"Can you believe we're graduating?" Connie started.
"Hard to believe, but true," Averman said nodding his head.
"What about after we graduate? Where are we going to go?" Adam pointed out.
Everybody got quiet. They didn't want to leave this place. They started talking about memories, like, when they got into Eden Hall, the prank wars, how Goldberg tried to make Julie fat, etc. Everybody was going to miss the days.
Then someone said they had to go inside for their walk-in. The girls put on their shoes and walked toward the entrance.
The band started playing the Graduation theme. And everybody walked and got to their seats.
Julie's PoV
Man….These things take too long…and I'm so bored and my ass hurts…
Goldberg's PoV
I want a chocolate éclair… I need food… I need donuts…I want soda….
Portman's PoV
Man, can't wait for the after party! Lots of beer, dancing, hot chicks! Oh yea… the after parties are the best!
Ken's PoV
I'm tired…. I think I'm going to fall asleep. I tapped the person next to me on the shoulder and whispered wake me up when they call Ken Wu. And then I fell asleep.
Connie's PoV
God…will they ever stop to breathe for air? They've been making out throughout the dude's speech….
Guy's PoV
Can they stop making out? But somehow, I wish that was me and Connie…
Averman's PoV
Wow….Whoever knew you could play gameboy during graduation? MWAHAHAHAH!
Fulton's PoV
I want to bash into somebody…
Dwayne's PoV
What did he say? Did he say like something like….cat?
Russ's PoV
Poor Dwayne….doesn't know what the dude is saying….if he says supercalifrag- whatever, Dwayne will be like…donkey…
Luis's PoV
Oh yea…surrounded by the beautiful chicks….
Adam's PoV
Somehow…this reminds me of "Can't Hardly Wait"
Charlie's PoV
Man…I'm the only one on the team who hasn't had a relationship…Everybody else had a boyfriend or girlfriend, but they're now single…This sucks….
Regular PoV
Then they called up names. Julie and Connie decided to take of their shoes, Averman got his gameboy taken away by the dude next to him, Ken's gown had drool all over it, Guy somehow tripped, Dwayne asked Dean what the diploma was, Goldberg stole a cereal bar from a kid and was eating it on the way up, Fulton wanted a chest bump from Dean, but the Dean just stood and was knocked over by him, Portman kept on bobbing his head, but everybody else was okay. And it was time to sing their song.
The graduates got up and walked on stage, while Ken walked to the piano. As soon everybody was settled, Ken started playing.
So we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn twenty-five
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will never be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out 'cause we're on
A diff'rent track and if you
Got something that you need to say
You'd better say it right now' cause you don't have another day
'Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinkg of the night in June
I didn't know much of love but it came too soon
And there was me and you and when we got real blue
We'd stay at home talking on the telephone
And we would get so excited and we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves, thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels…
As we go on,
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
come whatever
We will still be
Friends forever
(skip the song rest of the song... you can get the lyrics from the music sheets or online)
As the song ended, they all threw their hats in the air. And graduation was over as soon they walked out the door, not students, but graduates of the year 2000.
Most people were going home, and some were going to stay in the dorms for a couple of days. But the ducks were already packed up and were going to Adam's house. No one spoke as they went upstairs and got ready to change for the after party, which was at a club.
