A/N - I do not own NBB or any of the characters associated with NBB. But god if I did.
Ok, ok I know its been delayed coming and this chapter is not really the best to be honest its kind of just a filler chapter but it sets me up well for the following one which will make a lot of things clear as to why Nat and Rosalina are acting the way they are.
-3-
Nat, Brandi, and Alex found their seats just in time.
"Ok, ok people please take your seats" announced the Dean just as the trio sat down. "First of all, let me thank you all for attending today, and secondly let me say congratulations to the 2014 graduating class of Florida International University."
A loud applause followed the Dean's announcement. As the crowd quieted down they started calling the names of the graduates, starting with Craig Adams. The first hour seemed to drag on for poor Alex who even at 17 hated sitting still.
"Are we at 'T' yet?" Alex asked yawning.
"Almost Alex just a few more people" Nat said sighing at his little brother's behavior.
Just then Alex heard "Rosalina Tai" called from the stage. He stood up and cheered and yelled as loud as he could. His enthusiasm actually motivated Nat and even Brandi to join in cheering for Rosalina as she received her diploma. After she left the stage Alex sat back down content that he had been the loudest there.
"Hey Nat, Josh hasn't been called up yet has he?" Alex asked looking at his brother.
"You know what Alex I think you're right" Nat replied trying to remember if he had seen Josh on stage yet.
"Hmmm, I wonder what his last name is…" Alex thought to himself.
He didn't have to wait long to find out, the next person called was "Josh Tazminia!" A roar went up from the crowd almost matching Alex's, almost.
"Oh that will never work" Alex said thinking out loud.
"What are you talking about, Alex" Brandi asked looking over at him.
"Rosalina Tazminia? That just sounds stupid. They won't last." Alex stated matter 'o factly.
"How and why do you notice these things Alex" Nat said chuckling to himself.
"Because Nat I know everything, well almost everything. Math is hard" Alex said puffing his chest out a little.
"Ok, ok little bro if you say so" Nat laughed in reply.
Just then they heard "Luke Zelch" called from the stage as he grabbed his diploma and walked off to join his class the Dean took the stage again.
"Thank you all again and now without further ado ladies and gentleman the graduating class of 2014" he screamed from the stage.
As the applause roared and the hats flew, Nat felt his phone vibrate.
Rosalina – We need to talk…
"Oh man, this is going to be hard" Nat thought to himself running his hand through his hair.
Ok people like I said not the best ever but I am kind of stuck but this set me up for the flashback chapter which comes next, I already have a good idea of how I want to do that one and the chapter following it where Nat and Rosalina have their talk. Again I ask you to please bear with me here I am still knocking the rust off my writing gloves. Not saying I was ever a pro either, just saying it will get better as I go.
