Kim's POV

"I can't believe my baby is graduating!" my mom cried again and held onto me. I sighed and tried to hold back my own lump.

"Mooomm," I said. She let me go and I fixed my hair in the mirror. I decided to keep it simple so I left it down. My gown was red and I had on a dark blue strapless dress with black strappy heels. I had on some eyeliner and mascara and a little blush. She adjusted my cap again and snapped another picture. I had constant flashes in my eyes because she had been taking so many. We all decided to meet up at the school so that we could surprise everybody with how we looked. I felt so nervous but I didn't know why. I guess it was because this was the first day of the rest of my life. I couldn't believe that I was graduating. I had decided to go to school part time so that I could work and some of my classes were online so it made commuting easier. I decided that I wanted to be a teacher on the rez because that was my home and I just couldn't leave it.

We pulled up to the school and I started to get out of the car but my mom held my arm.

"Kimmy, I..I just wanted to say how proud I am of you. You've turned out to be a beautiful young woman who's got a good head on her shoulders. I just. I'm so lucky to have you as a daughter," she said smiling tremulously. I felt the waterworks coming on and I blinked back a few tears.

"Thanks mom. I couldn't have done it without you," I said hugging her tightly. She kissed my cheek and then let go and smiled wiping away a stray tear.

"Your friends are waiting baby. Good luck," she said and I smiled and got out of the car.

"Kiiimmmmmm!" Carmen yelled running towards me at full force and slamming into my body. I let at an "umph" sound and she held me tightly sobbing on my shoulder. "Oh Kim I can't believe this is finally happening. We're graduating!" I laughed and patted her back.

"I know I'm so excited!" I said and then she pulled back looking at me and we both started jumping up and down screaming and I'm sure we looked crazy but we didn't care.

"See I told you guys. Just follow the screams and we'll find them," Rachel said walking over. I laughed and saw that she had Sam, Emily, Jake, and Paul in tow.

"Where's Jared?" I asked.

"Right here," he said from behind me. I squealed and launched myself into his arms. He laughed softly and kissed my forehead.

"Can you believe it?" I asked looking up at him. he shook his head.

"No. But my mom crying all over me and snapping random pictures is kind of making it a reality," he said. I laughed.

"Tell me about it."

"Oh I can't believe how much you guys have grown!" Emily said tearing up. Rachel rolled her eyes and patted her on the back.

"Not you too," she said. Sam put an arm around Emily and kissed the top of her head.

The rest of the wolves walked over and it was like a huge gathering of giants. Jared, Paul, Embry, Quil, Carmen, and I were the only ones graduating. Everybody else was just here to see us.

"Okay guys time to go!" Rachel said ushering us away.

"You sure you're not gonna cry Rach?" Carmen asked sniffling. She was so emotional. Rachel shook her head.

"Of course not," she said.

After the ceremony Rachel was blubbering and holding onto Paul saying how much she loved us and was proud of us. I gave Emily a conspiratorial smile and she snapped a picture of Rachel. Rachel sniffled and glared at us.

"If you even think of showing anyone that picture I'll come after you," she threatened. We laughed. My mom rushed over and was taking pictures of us yet again and I was surprised that I hadn't cried yet. I guess I was just too excited about everything and the emotion hadn't hit me yet. We had the cookout outside of Billy's house and everybody was there. I can't count how many hugs and congratulations I went through.

"Kim, I just want you to know if you need a shoulder to cry on, I'm here for you," one of the younger wolves, Micah said. I laughed.

"Thanks Micah," I said but Jared didn't think it was that funny.

"Hey Micah, if you never need a foot up your ass, you know who to call," he said glaring. I shoved him or attempted too since he didn't really move.

"Oh hush," I said. Micah backed away looking uneasy and when he was far enough he winked at me and Jared lunged for him. I held him back and laughed. "He's just joking Jared." He growled. The boys loved to tease him and knew the only way to get to him was to mess with me.

"I was going to ask you if you wanted to get some food?" he said. I smiled.

"You waited for me to eat?" I asked. He looked guilty.

"Well…no. But I didn't eat a lot!" he said. I laughed.

Aww they graduated! Finally, this kind of made me tear up because it reminded me of my graduation! Anywho I know you guys know what's coming next and I know you're looking forward to it.

Also I have a question...should I write a Carmen story? A lot of you guys like her and I started one but I'm not sure where I'm going to take it though it will have to be a few years after these stories since Brady is still young. What do you think?

Don't forget to weiver, I really want to break 100 and I only need 7 more reviews, show me how much you love it! We'll close this story out with a bang!
