It was the day of graduation and Mackenzie was getting ready. She couldn't believe that she was finally graduating and going to college. She had invited her mom and Michael and some of their family and of course her dad and Quinn and some of her under classmen friends. They were so glad for her. When Mackenzie walked downstairs in her graduating robes everyone clapped and her dad was recording every moment of it. She just smiled at them and did a spin just for fun.

"You guys are so goofy. We have to go or we'll be late."

"Alright. Slow down," Alex said.

They all walked downstairs and into their cars and drove off to the high school. The graduation was taking place outside on the football field and when Mackenzie got there, she went and sat down in her spot with the other students. Everyone was talking and waiting for the graduation to start. The choir came up and started to sing and then they sat down and the principal came up and everyone clapped.

"Welcome. This year has been a crazy one and I'm proud of my students. You have all made it to the end of high school. I'm sure all of the parents are surprised and sad that they're little girls and baby boys are graduating, but that's how it is. I'd like to give out some awards to some very special students for anything they've ever done. These awards can range from academics, helping other students and teachers, or an extracurricular activity. The first award I would like to present is for the Drama club. This young lady will be the greatest actress I've ever seen, should she pursue acting as a career. She blew everyone away at all of our plays. Mackenzie Hernandez."

Mackenzie stood up and everyone clapped for her as she walked up to the stage and accepted the award with a smile on her face. She went back to her seat and sat down and everyone around her congratulated her. More awards were presented and then the valedictorian went up and made her speech. She talked about changing and how college was going to be a new experience for everyone. They were all going out into the real world. Some were going to the local college and most were going out of state.

After she finished her speech, she sat down and the principal called everyone's name for their diplomas. And then their class was announced. All of the students got up and threw their caps in the air and started to hug everyone. After that they got their caps off the ground and started looking for their family and friends. Mackenzie found Lisa and the rest of them and they all hugged and started to cry. Their families all came up and hugged everyone and got to know each other.

After everyone left the school, they all went to the park. The entire school was throwing a graduation party at the local park and everyone was having a good time. This was better than prom and everyone actually got along with each other.

During the party, Lisa came up to Mackenzie and told her that they were all going to the store across the street to get some stuff for the party. Mackenzie said she would stay so they all ran off to the store and while they were gone, Jeff walked up to Mackenzie. She looked at him and started to walk away. He followed her and tried to stop her.

"Mackenzie stop. I need to talk with you."

"There's nothing to say, Jeff. What you did is over and I'm not going to think about it anymore. I have a life and I need to get on with it."

"Can you just stop and listen to me?"

"What do you want, Jeff?" She stopped and looked at him. He looked like he was in so much pain and she couldn't feel any remorse. "If you want me to feel sorry for you, I can't. What you did was wrong. Lisa told me everything. She told me that you knew what was going on and you did nothing to stop it. That's just not how things work with me. If I knew someone was going to do something to you I would tell you so you could be prepared, but you didn't even do that for me. I can't even really forgive you for what you did. You'll just have to live with it for the rest of your life. Bye Jeff."

She walked away and Jeff tried to stop her but she just kept walking. She waited for Lisa and the rest of the group and they came ten minutes later and they continued to have fun. The party ended at midnight when the park closed and everyone went to the clubs to continue partying and Mackenzie didn't even come home. She and the rest of the group spent the night at Lisa's house and continued to have fun.

During that entire summer, Mackenzie hung out with Lisa and the group. Her dad and Quinn was already back in New York City and Mackenzie was ecstatic when she heard that they were getting married next year. She told everybody and they were happy for her and hoped that they were invited to the wedding. Mackenzie said they were and she promised that this wedding would be better than her mom's wedding. They all laughed when she said that.

One day, Lisa and Mackenzie were walking around the town just looking at it and thinking.

"You know I'm going to miss this town," Mackenzie said.

"That's odd. I thought you hated Cameron."

"No, it's grown on me."

Lisa started to laugh.

"I grew up here so of course I love it, but I want to get used to the big city life."

"Were are you going to college?"

"I'm going to Connecticut."

"Cool."

"You still going to NYU," Lisa asked.

"Yeah. Next month."

"Please tell me you'll come to the high school reunion," Lisa said with pleading eyes.

"I will. Just to see you guys."

"Thanks."

They hugged and continued talking and walking. A month later, Mackenzie was at the airport with Lisa, David, Nidia, Ivory, Marc, Devon, Adam, and her mom and Michael. Mackenzie hugged everyone and then she started to cry when she realized she wouldn't see Lisa for a while. When her plane was called she walked to the gate and got on. Before she got on, though, she looked back at everyone and waved at them.

"Hey!" She turned around and Lisa waved at her. "Just remember you'll always be our medieval princess, Mackenzie!"

"Thanks! I'll see you guys later!"

Everyone waved and Mackenzie boarded the plane and found her seat and sat down and started to think. She smiled to herself as she realized that she had the most best friends in the world. She couldn't wait to see them at the wedding and she couldn't wait to trade college stories. She thought about what Lisa had said and started to laugh. They had given her that nickname a month after they figured out she was into the medieval time period. She closed her eyes and sighed and went to sleep. She was their medieval princess.
