Nothing Lasts Forever Day 25
The day of their graduation had finally arrived. Everyone was in the Auditorium. Peter was valedictorian, they had all tied but Christina decided that Peter should get it. Mainly because she and Damian were speaking in uniform already. So Peter and MJ decided to tag team the speech.
"Hello there, My name is Peter Stark. You all know me as Peter Parker. My sister and I transferred here with my girlfriend and her boyfriend. At first it was to make sure our younger sister stopped getting bullied. Then it changed to us finishing out the year here. I am happy with my decision because even through the struggles the teachers here sought to give their students the best education possible." The room applauded. Then Christina and Damian stood and walked up to the front of the room.
"Good afternoon everyone. My name is Captain Christina Stark. Peter is my brother. I also graduated here today. I come to you not only as a student but as a Captain in the US Army. You may be wondering how someone so young could be a Captain. It's actually simple. When I was a year old I was kidnapped by Hydra. The US Army rescued me and my soulmate Commander Damian Obadia when we were eleven. They trained us with them and we rose in rank. When we were promoted the President asked us to create our own division. Six students here are members of our division. While several others are enlisted in the Army, and shipping out to the Army base today. These students are more than soldiers, they are family. The school reached out to us in April and asked us to put a video together to honor the US Army, and the students who are leaving. We hope that you learn more, and that our fellow soldiers are honored through this." Christina spoke, once the applause winded down Damian stepped up to the microphone.
"Hello my name is Commander Damian Obadia. This video we put together is very close to our hearts. We hope that you learn through us what the army is really like. About the brother and sisterhood that it is. Without these men and women I don't know where I would be. They rescued me and taught me how to live. The last person that I need to say something about is my beautiful, amazing, soulmate. She has been my safe place in all of this since the very beginning. She helped me get emancipated from my mom. Without her I probably wouldn't be here right now. Yes we've already graduated before going to Midtown for school, but going here has been a good experience aside from some bullying. The last thing I need to say before the video starts is, nothing lasts forever. The one thing that I learned here is that everything has a time, but someday it will be gone. Some of the time though it's a good thing. I don't think anyone would want to stay in school forever. " After Damian finished speaking the video started to play. After the video was finished they got their new diplomas. They finally were done with public school.
