2nd Chapter
A few weeks later I was on the stage in the center of WMHS' football field giving the valedictorian speech for the class of 2012.
"Student's of 2012, we all know we can be great and we shall be great. Our futures will overshadow our lives in the past so let us make our lives of tomorrow sumptuous." I said those last two lines with tears with my eyes that day.
As everyone was throwing there graduating caps in the air I had a moment of inquisition. 'Since Noah and I were both graduating and we were both accepted to school in New York maybe we could go together.' I went up to Noah as he was picking up his cap and just about to walk over to where both our parent's were. So I entwined our arms together.
"Oh hey Rach, great speech you said back there. So what's up?"
"Noah I was thinking… would you like to go to New York with me?"
"Berry, we're both going to NY what do you mean with you?"
"I mean… like getting an apartment together and stuff. After all Noah you are pretty much my only friend here in Mckinley… scratch that Lima." I said as we were approaching our parents.
"Did I just happen to hear that Rachel was offering to live with you Noah?" Mrs. Puckerman inquired.
"Oh yes Mrs. Puckerman, I think it would be a wonderful idea. After all our schools are quite near each other. Add to that the rent would not be so high due to the fact of that we would be both paying it." I said to Mrs. Puckerman.
"Oh sweetheart what a superb idea and Rachel, you know what I said. Don't call me Mrs. Puckerman. I insist you call me Adi."
"Yes, Adi. So Dad, Daddy, what do you think of our plan?"
"I think it's a magnificent proposition." Daddy said. He was the one I got my excellent vocabulary from.
"Hold on Mom, Mr. Berrys, and Rach. You guys expect me to live with your daughter Mr. Berry?"
"Well of course Noah. We trust you more than anyone here. Plus you can protect her from all the bad people in New York." My dad said quite normally. He doesn't have my colorful vocabulary as well as my daddy's.
"You know what fine. I'll move in with you Berry but we have to find a place between both of our schools." Noah said quite defeated.
"Yay! Noah we're living together. I'm so happy"
So there we were having a time of our lives talking about where were going to live. I was so excited about moving in with him because we were both such good friends.
A week later…
"Come on Rach! We gotta go! Our planes leaving at 1:30 it's already 11:05!" Noah yelled from the outside.
"Wait! I'm just about done!" I hurried down the stairs as my dad's we're down stairs with my suitcase and purse.
"Sweety, Noah's waiting outside and he's in quite a hurry." Daddy said.
"Ok Daddy, I'm ready," I said as I was walking out the door and saw my dad and Noah by his truck talking. "I'm going to miss you both so much."
"Oh baby girl we're gonna miss you too," my dad said somewhat teary eyed.
I kissed them on the cheeks and hugged my wonderful parents. They put my suitcase the back of Noah's truck and bid as goodbye. That day Noah and I were on our way to airport. We were going to New York to find an apartment quite near both of our new schools.
