Graduations are supposed to be all happy and joyus. You know. Happy that you won't see all the people you've hated forever. Happy that your leaving the crappy school you were at. Well, I wasn't. I was going to see people I haven't seen for months. Many I just didn't want to see. Like Chris! I could go my whole life without seeing that kid! But I had to face the music. So there I was. I was sitting in our rental car in my dress. It was white tie back with blue and green flowers. My Dad was in a nice suit, all black. I personally thought it was to depressing for my graduation, but I wasn't going to complain. So I just sat there.

"I guess this isn't the time to say I signed you up for high school."

"What?"

"On Sundays, depending where we are, you'll fly back here. Attend class, then fly to she show we're at."

"Ummm…thanks. Which one though?"

"Roseville."

"I wanted to go there too."

We sat in silence for a while. I saw Ashley go in through the side door. She had grown a little bit. I started to tear up. I missed all of my friends. So why was I so scared to go in there?

"Come on. It'll be fine."

I sighed and got out of the car. I made sure I didn't see anyone. My Dad and I walked casually to the door. Everyone was going in through the main entrance, which was a good thing. I walked through the side door. I walked up the stairs. I actually missed being in this old church. I stopped at the door to go in. This was the moment. The moment I had to face all my old classmates and actually be with them. My Dad kissed me on the cheek.

"It will be fine. I'm right behind you."

I smiled. I walked right through that door. The first person I saw was Adrienne who was laughing with Megan. She saw me and gasped. I smiled back.

"Oh my god ANNA!!!!"

She started to run in her heels. I was scared she was going to fall. I ran to her also. We hugged for a really long time. I saw all my other friends come up to me. We had this really big group hug in the middle of the aisle. Finally they let me go. By this time I was almost crying. Ashley had gotten taller! Cassy's hair was longer then I remembered. Carolyn had cut her hair short. Adrienne finally became more girly. Kallison wasn't here yet and neither was Xena. The other group came over to me. The ring leader, Jules, came up to me and hugged me.

"Anna we have missed you so much!"

I looked at her confused. When I was still in school, she didn't even talk to me! What was so different now? Oh yeah, I was famous. I saw all the guys staring at me. I looked over at my dad who was talking to Ashley's parents. He was also eying the guys looking at me. Jules started to lead me away.

"Come we must talk best friend!"

I broke away from her gasp.

"OK back up. You wouldn't even talk to me! Now I'm famous and you think I'm your best friend? Screw you! I know who my real friends are."

I walked back to my friends and hugged them. A chorus of 'ohs!' and 'burns!' came from the guys. Jules stared at me and walked away. Her little follower Nina followed, as did her other dronies Renee, Meg, and Lis. The guys came up to me. Marc was first.

"Man that was classic! I am not worthy!"

I laughed and hugged him. He was a pretty cool guy. Bob, Brandon, Roan, and Ryan also congratulated me. Finally I was alone with my friends! Ashley spoke first.

"My god we missed you so much! You have so much to catch up on!"

"Well guess what?"

"What?"

"I'M GOING TO ROSEVILLE!"

Cassy and Ashley screamed. They were going to Roseville also. Knowing I would see my best friends every day was great. Adrienne and Carolyn pouted since they were going to different schools. We talked in the corner about everything that had gone on. Carolyn had a boyfriend, Brandon, Cassy was going out with a kid named Bill, and other things. Then I saw him. Chris was walking in with Lennon. Cassy looked at what I was. She got a worried look on her face.

"Let's go by your Dad!"

I walked over to my Dad. He was talking to Cassy's parents now. I tapped him on the shoulder.

"Dad, these are my friends. Adrienne, Carolyn, Ashley, and Cassy."

"Nice to meet you girls."

They let out as giggle. I saw Chris staring at me out of the corner of my eye. The principle told us to get into our pews. I was sharing one with Cassy. I leaned over and whispered to my Dad.

"If you want to kick someone's ass, kick his."

I pointed to Chris. He was looking at me. But the moment my Dad looked at him, he looked away scared. My Dad smiled at me and winked. The night went on, church, memories. Then I thought it was done. But my principle got back up to the mic.

"For the past few months a member of this graduating class was in foster care."

Oh shit. She was putting me on the spot.

"But in April her now Dad brought her into the spot light as as an entertainer on TV."

FYI: my principle hated wrestling. She banned talk about it in school.

"But she is here with us tonight, and I would like her to come up here and talk about her life. So here she is, Sarah Cena."

People started to clap. I made a mental note to kill my principle. I walked up there slowly. There were Cena chants. Not just for me, but for my Dad. I got to the podieum and cleared my throat. What would I say?

"If I was given a warning I would know what to say!"

Everyone laughed. It really wasn't that funny. I just said what popped into my head.

"My Dad, WWE Champion John Cena, adopted me in April. I don't know why. But I was happy. I was thrust into the spotlight my first night. Now I'm a diva. It's been a pretty bumpy road, but an awesome trip. I'm loving every moment of my life with my Dad. The traveling has been a great experience. I'm still being educated and will continue by going to Roseville for high school. It will be a hard commute, but I'll make it work. I can thank so many people! First off my Dad for taking me out of that foster home. God I love him so much! Next, my friends, Adrienne, Cassy, Ashley, Carolyn, Kallison, Xena, the whole bunch. You never abandoned me and I love you guys for that. I also want to thank my class! I missed everyone here! I want to thank my principle, for letting me continue at MMSA and come here tonight. Lastly, I want to thank my family. I've learned not to hold grudges for long. I don't hate them for what happened. I volunteered! If I had to hate someone, I would have to hate me. But I thank them for being my family and sticking it out for as long as they could. I just want to say thank you to all of you for your support and everything. Now I can truly say I'm part of the MMSA 8th grade Class of 2005."

I got a big applause. The priest also confirmed me, since oh my god I haven't yet! After all that was the reception. God I was so hungry. My poor Dad wasn't left alone for one second! Guys in my class went up to him for autographs and questions, and parents were praising him for all he had done. They had a slide show for our class. I was in there some. They showed some pictures of me on TV and I couldn't help but laugh. Then a video came on. It was…Eddie?

"Sarah! My little Mamacita! Congratulations! I wish I could be there, but you know how things are! You are so beautiful…wait…let US tell you to your face."

Everyone looked confused, including me. Then, coming through the doors, was the stars. Eddie, JBL, the divas, Shawn, Hunter, Ric, Rey, Chris, Christan, Eric, the whole bunch! I couldn't help but cry. The place went crazy of course. I ran to Eddie and Shawn and hugged them so tight! I looked at my Dad who smiled at me. He planned the whole thing! But I didn't care. I got a picture with all of them in the hall. The reception went on till at least midnight! After all of that, I said goodbye to everyone and walked to my car. As I did, Shawn pulled me over privately.

"Hey you look beautiful!"

"Thanks. Wow it was such a surprise to see you guys here."

"Yeah. Listen. I think of you as one of my daughters. I haven't known you long, but kid, look at you! So much potential! You are the future of this business! So I wanted to give you something near and dear to my heart. Hold on, let me get it…"

Shawn reached into his pocket. He pulled out a necklace. It was the cross necklace he always wore. I just gasped at that. I cried and hugged him really tight.

"My god Shawn I love it!"

"I figured you would. But listen, Eddie had to leave early, so he wanted me to give you this. See you on Saturday kid."

He kissed me on my cheek and walked away. My Dad was waiting for me in the car. We rode back talking about the night. We got to our hotel around 1. My Dad fell right asleep. I looked at what Shawn gave me. There was a tape and a box. I put in the tape first. It was Eddie of course.

"Sarah! My little girl graduated. Soon you'll be graduating from high school. I promise I would be there with you for that! So I want to say a few things. First, you looked beautiful tonight. How do I know? Well I'm making this in the bathroom in this church. Second, I've been missing you ese! I was so happy to see you again. Third, I love the tapes you send me. Will you let me into the divas locker room some day! Haha just kidding! So I might as well end this since some guy is pounding on the door. Hope you like you present. Love you!"

The tape ended with him blowing a kiss at the camera. I stared at the box. I opened it up. My jaw dropped when I saw what laid in the box. It was keys. And a note. I opened the note. It said 'look out your window.' I went out to the balcony and looked out. There was a cherry red low rider. On the hood was a sign that said 'Viva La Sarah!' Eddie got me a car! I ran down to the lobby to the car. I stood right in front of it. I didn't even have my license yet! I started to cry again. The seats were black leather. Dice hung from the mirror. On the back of the drivers seat was a spray painting of me and Eddie at one of my first events. On the passenger seat was a picture of me and my Dad. I sat in my new car. I couldn't believe it. This was my car. My own car from Eddie. A valet guy came around to me.

"Can I help you miss?"

"Ummm…can you do me a favor?"

"Sure."

"Find a way to send this car to this address in Boston. Tell the people there that this is Sarah's from Eddie. Can you do that?"

I handed the guy 1000 dollars from my purse. Don't ask me why I had that much in my purse. I can't even remember. The guy nodded and drove off in my car. I walked back up to my room. I put on my pajamas and laid in my bed. I realized that my actual family wasn't at my graduation when they promised they would. But I didn't care. I had got the car of my dreams, a kick ass necklace, presents from everyone on the table, and my Dad in the bed next to me. How could my life get worse?

It could. I didn't know it till it all happened. I tear up just thinking about that day. In my home town too. That's what tore me up.
