if you ask me, saturday is sort of a weird day to have a graduation. it should be on a monday night or something. but its the things like graduation that make marissa go crazy. as in, insane. she gets into a huge freakout mode just because i came 1 minute late. 1 minute. and when i did get there, she started rambling on and on and on about how i needed to where a dress to graduation. why wear a dress when youre going to have a graduation gown on over it?

"sammy, come on! please!" she begged, i looked over to holly for help,

"she's having a breakdown. its easier if you just do what she says; it'll only be for a few hours anyway, right? and youd make her happy." she whispered in my ear, i threw my head back and groaned,

"all right!" i exclaimed, "if you really want me to ill wear the dress."

"thank you so much, sammy! dont worry, you wont regret it!" she squealed, i followed her into her bedroom walk-in closet while muttering,

"well then how come im regreting it already?" she showed me 16 different dresses, yes, i did count. and after holding all 16 of them up to me at least 7 different times, she decided on a thick-strapped v-neck black dress that hit a few inches above my knees. i raised my eyebrows at her, but she was set on it. there was no turning back now.

graduation is like being in a wedding. the difference? you have way more people then just a few bridesmaids, and you dont have to worry about maybe or maybe not making the biggest mistake of your life. so as soon as they called my name, i took my diploma, thanked the guy and hightailed back to my seat.

the suckish thing was that with all of the cameras snapping away around us, my eyes hurt. i wanted to ask marissa if she had an extra pair of sunglasses, but unfortunatly she was too far. i sat down and something plopped down in my lap as marissa passed by. it was a small rectangular box that had a note on the front that said:

To: Sammy

Love: Marissa 3

WE'VE GRADUATED! Thought you could use these! XD

in her usual curly, flowy writing. i opened up the box to find a pair of sunglasses, i laughed and turned in my seat to find her. she was talking to someone, but caught my eye and winked, i smiled and mouthed a thanks before sliding on the big movie-star sunglasses.

after received their diplomas, we threw our graduation hats up in the air. it mustve been pretty awesome to see all a bunch of graduates throw their hats in the air. we then lined up again and walked out the doors. soon, all of the graduates were scattered around, finding their families. i found marissa, holly and dot; marissa insisted that we go in the bathroom and take off our graduation gowns, revealing our dresses.

we met the boys outside by the cars, casey was surprised to find me in a dress, and frowning. he laughed when he saw my expression, looking me over.

"whats wrong, babe?" he pulled me closer to him and draped his arms around my neck.

"marissa made me wear a dress!" i complained in a whiny, tattle-taling tone. he threw his head back and laughed. i wacked his shouler, "its not funny!"

"thats where youre wrong; it is funny, sammy. you relize you sound like a 2 year old right?" i wacked him again, this time on the back of his head. he rubbed his head, "ow! well it is! why do you have sunglasses on anyway? its night time!" i rolled my eyes, for a lawyer, he was pretty dumb sometimes,

"the cameras, duh! why else do you think movie stars wear them?" marissa said, like, duh, anyone should know that.

"orrrr they could wear them to look cool and because of the sun..." kevin corrected, pointing up to the starry sky. we pushed our sunglasses to the top of our head, and all slid into our boyfriends (fiance for me) cars.

it was 10:01 when we got to marissas house for the party, exactly 12 hours ago i was entering marissas house; getting yelled at for being late. no one else was at the house yet, so we climbed out and leaned against the garage, we couldve went inside i guess. but instead we decided to wait for our friends to get here.

finally i pulled myself into caseys lap and kissed his very cute and confused lips. his hands rested on my hips as he smiled against my mouth, his hands slid down my legs when suddenly my phone rang from his pocket, inturrupting our kiss. i reached into his pocket and answered my phone,

"hello?"

"sammy?" a voice that sounded vaugly familar asked,

"whos asking?" there was a laugh,

"Yes, this is most definatly sammy. you dont remember who i am?"

i gasped suddenly, "hi dad!" i exclaimed,

"took ya long enough. hows life? and casey?"

"fine. whyd you call though?" i inquired suspiciously,

"well you did graduate from college today didnt you? i actually have a surprise for you..."

"really? what is it?" i screamed,

"give the phone to casey." he ordered, i gave the phone to casey and after he listened for a minute, he put the phone back to my ear and put his hands over my eyes,

"casey!" he shrugged innocently,

"sorry, babe. orders." i huffed,

"alright, what now?" the phone was taken from me again, and casey stood up, and helped me up. somehow, he managed to keep both hands over my eyes while doing this. "where are we going?" i asked casey,

"nowhere that i know of." he pressed his lips to my forhead, "ok you can open your eyes now." he removed his hand from my eyes, and they fluttered open to see my dad flipping his phone closed. i ran to him and gave him an anna-like hug.

"god! whered you learn to hug so hard, huh?" he asked once id released him,

''anna." right on cue, anna, warren and my friends drove up. casey interwined our fingers and lead me inside while conversing with my dad, marissa ran upstairs to fix her makeup while the rest of us retreated to the kitchen. but as soon as we got there, i heard a glass-shattering, ear-peircing scream, that belonged to none other then marissa mackenzie.

she came running down the stairs (which was amazingly fast for such high heels) and ran to kevin. everyone stared at her pale face, waiting for an explenation. problem was she wasnt giving one. so i kicked off my heels and ran my barefoot feet up the stairs to marissas room. the door was already partially open, so i shoved it open all the way and a rank smell hit my nose.

i covered my nose with my hands and looked around the room. dresser. bathroom. bed. window. bookshelf. dead body. huge walk-in closet. wait. dead body?

"sammy?" casey called as he and my dad joined me, "whats- oh my god!" he yelled, i knelt down on my knees and flipped it over. casey sat down next to me and gasped,

"sammy, thats-thats- well who is that exactly?" he asked, i shook my head,

"i dont know, honestly. but i can tell you that marissas gonna have nightmares." kevin peeked in and gagged,

"oh thats gross!" he exclaimed, everyone else peeked in to see. anna fainted, and marissa looked like shed either seen a ghost, or she was one.

my dad called the FBI agency for backup (yes, thats where he works) and a few minutes later, he could already tell me a few things. just from looking at the body. gross, right?

here are the facts he gave me:

male

in his early 20s

probably stabbed with a knife

had cancer

was a mute (meaning he cant talk)

how he found all that out by a body beats me. i even asked him, and he started to talk all science-y and explained it using words normal people dont know. i cut him off,

"hey dad? could we just, you know, take him to your lab or something?" he blushed,

"well, yeah. of course. we need to wrap him up." FBI agents came pounding up the stairs and wrapped up the body, casey held me in his arms as we stood by watching.

kevin cancelled the graduation party, and casey and i went home after helping warren get a still unconcious anna into the car.

"you two go on home. im going to take anna to the hospital. you know, just in case." we asked my dad if he needed a place to stay for tonight, but he said hed go down to the lab for a while then drive back to santa louisa. casey drove me home in silence, but when we got home, i yanked lightly on his arm towards the bedroom.

he stumbled into the bedroom with me, and we collapsed into the bed easily. i tugged his tie off and he reached for the bow tie on the back of my dress, then unzipped the zipper at ease. i yanked his tux off and he kissed my neck lightly, murmmering my name lightly.

his lips moved up to mine and kissed them passioniatly, i gasped when his tongue flicked the inside of my lip, asking for permission. i allowed his permission, but it was at that moment i relized what we were doing. our tongues were dancing together, and it felt wonderful. but i pulled away and said his name repeatidly, he tugged his lips reluctently from mine when the phone rang.

he glared at it as i checked the caller ID, flipped it open and answered with, "hi dad!" caseys hand slipped under my tanktop, burning my skin by the inch. i jerked myself closer to him, causing him to laugh,

"sammy! tell casey to keep his hands off of you!" casey heard this and glared longer at the phone, "thats not why i actually called though, i called because i saw that you had applied to be an FBI agent, correct?"

casey lie on top of me; his lips traced from my neck up to my ear as i answered my dad with, "yeah, so?"

"well, if you can solve this case in a week, or less, then youve got it." i gasped,

"really?" i exclaimed,

''yup. thats the deal." i squealed,

"thanks daddy!" he scoffed,

"daddy? thats a new one. come to my work tomorrow at 8 and ill getcha started." then he hung up, leaving me to jump into caseys arms and hug him tight. just as quickly, i let go, pulled on a pair of sweats and a tshirt and called marissa.

it was my turn to talk her ear off for once. be prepared marissa mackenzie.
