"Owe! Mom be careful." Gar screamed in pain.
"If you will stay still then you wouldn't be getting pinched by the needle!" Mrs. Logan said as she started to get aggravated.
Mrs. Logan continued to sew the graduation gown to the right size for her son. Gar was standing still in the kitchen while his mother sew the gown. Mr. Logan and Rachael sat at the counter, watching the scene in front of them. Graduation day was right around the corner, and things were tensed. Though Gar graduated with a B average which was very impressing to his parents, and Rachael graduated with an A, everyone was nervous. Gar and Rachael both applied for colleges. Something that Mr. Logan forced on both of them. Gar and Rachael both applied for the same college.
"Mom, what if I trip when I walk to get my diploma!? Or what if I get too nervous and I throw up on a bald man!? What if he starts to beat me up!? What if-"Gar was interrupted by his mother.
"Gar, you're starting to give me a headache." She said as she continued to sew the gown.
"Don't worry, son. You'll be fine. Just walk like you usually would." Mr. Logan smirked as he took a sip of his coffee.
"Alright Gar." Mrs. Logan said as she patted Gar's leg. "You're done. Rachael. It's your turn."
Rachael stood up and walked toward Mrs. Logan. Mrs. Logan sighed and looked at Rachael's gown that was way too long and wide for her.
"Rachael, you're gown is incredibly long. I might cut or just sew it down." Mrs. Logan said as she looked at the gown.
"Rach, that thing is like draped on you." Gar said as he took a sip of his soda.
"Gar, don't you dare get a stain on that gown when you drink that soda!" Mrs. Logan said angrily at her careless son.
"Ok mom. Calm down." Gar said as he put the soda on the counter. Mr. Logan smirked at his son.
"Stop laughing, dad." Gar said as he punched his arm.
The gown was indeed too large for Rachael. Whenever she walks with the gown on, she raises the end as if it was a dress. It draped over her body and the sleeves were too long. Mrs. Logan examined the gown and knew that she had a lot of work to do on the gown.
"Rachael. We're going to be here for a while." Mrs. Logan said as she grabbed her sowing kit.
Rachael sighed. "Why do they have to give XL sized gowns to everyone?"
"Cuz our school is lazy and cheap." Gar said as he took another sip of his soda.
"Don't say that Gar. There are a lot of students graduating this year. They probably don't have the budget to get all the students properly fitting gowns" Mrs. Logan said as she started to cut the bottom of Rachael's long gown.
"So did you guys get a letter back from those colleges?" Mr. Logan asked.
"No not yet, dad. We'll probably get them next week." Gar said as he opened the fridge.
"Mom can I take the gown off? I'm hungry." Gar whined as he looked through the fridge.
"No. I want to take pictures." Mrs. Logan said as she started to hem Rachael's long sleeves.
"But you said that you would be stuck on Rachael's gown for a while!''
"I will. So be patient and stop complaining so I can concentrate on this gown." Mrs. Logan said as she concentrated on the white material.
Gar pouted and walked into the living room. "I'm gonna watch TV."
The three laughed at the pouting teen.
"You have to stop the pouting, son! You're getting too old for that." Mr. Logan laughed from the kitchen.

The graduating teens sat in their final homeroom class. They were excited. Today was their last day of school. The students couldn't wait to complete their twelve years of school life and take their big step to college life. Today was a calm relaxing school day for the graduating teens. All the projects were handed in and graded, and all the textbooks were handed back to the school. The teacher stood in front of the classroom. Everyone was too excited to pay close attention. Gar looked at Rachael with a smile and handed her a small note that went unnoticed by the teacher. Rachael quickly took hold of the note and read the small message that read: "This is it."
Rachael smiled and wrote a message back to him. "I know. I never thought I would see the day."
Gar wrote back to Rachael. "Well, this it. We're going to be graduating, going to college, graduate from college and have our kids."
Rachael looked back at Gar who gave her a smirk. Rachael made a small laughed.
The teacher soon noticed the two's little commotion. "Garfield and Rachael. What are you two laughing at?"
Everyone's eyes went straight to Gar and Rachael. They both quickly said in union. "Nothing."
"This is your last day of school. Don't make me give you two a detention." The teacher sad as she went back to giving her announcements.
Rachael and Gar looked at each other and smirked. The bell rang and the students walked out of the classrooms. The five friends walked as a group to their next class.
"Last day of school….I'm freaking out." Victor said as he rubbed his bald head.
"I know right. We're going off to college! College!" Gar exclaimed.
"My friends, I will miss seeing all of you everyday." Kori said as some tears ran down her face.
"Awe don't cry, Kori. We can still hang out like we still do." Rachael said with a small smile.
"Yeah. We're not going to be separated." Richard said re-assuring to Kori.
The five teens entered their classroom, but it didn't look like their usual classroom. It was decorated with banners of 'CONGRATULATIONS'. There was a table full of sweets, candy and drinks. Gar and Victor looked wide eyes at the classroom
"Booyah, baby! Look at all this food!" Victor exclaimed as he ran to the table.
"Boohyah?" Richard asked with a smirk.
"Yeah. It's my new line." Victor said with a smirk.
The five teens laughed and took their share of treats.

An officer walked down the dark hallway of prison cells. Some men looked up at the officer, giving him hard glares. The officer ignored the cold stares and kept walking down the hallway. One of the prison inmates reached for the officer from his cell. The officer quickly reacted to the sudden attack. The inmate growled and tried to grab at the officer once again. The officer brought his pepper spray from his belt and sprayed the inmate. The inmate fell back in pain as the spray burned his eyes. He howled in pain and fell to the ground of his cell, screaming in pain. The officer took a final look at the man and kept his walk. He watched over the other inmates who stayed quiet. The officer looked to the cell that was on his left and banged on the bars. Adonis raised his head and looked at the officer with a dead glare.
"What do you want?" Adonis asked rudely to the officer.
"Just making sure you're not dyeing." The officer smirked as he walked out of the hallway.
Adonis snarled at the officer as he left. A loud noise was heard and saw that his cell door was opened. He stood from the old prison bed. He stretched his legs and walked out of the prison cell. It was lunch and Adonis was on his way to the lunchroom with the rest pf the other prisoners. He slowly walked to the lunchroom.
"I have to find a way to get back at that scrawny loser and his little girlfriend." Adonis thought as he walked into the lunch area. He grabbed his tray of food and walked to the lunch table with his somewhat friends that he had. He set the tray onto the table and sat down.
"What's up with you, scrunt?" A burly man asked as he hungrily ate his food. Adonis picked at his food.
"I need to find a way to get the little loser that got me in here back." Adonis said as he started to think.
"Well you got five years in here. You got all the time in the world. "The man said as he and friends started to laugh.
Adonis rolled his eyes and started to think again. The man soon put a serious face and told the young man.
"Alright kid. If you really want to get back at him then you have to get him where he cares most"
"He cares about his little girlfriend." Adonis said as he began to eat his food.
"Good. Get to her, and he'll come crawling to you pleading for his little girlfriend." The burly prisoner said as he smirked at Adonis.
Adonis slowly nodded and continued to think.

Mr. Logan sat in his office dealing with the paper work of the week. He wrote on the papers and sighed. "Time for a break." He got up from his office chair to retrieve the mail. He entered the house with stacks of mail in his hand. He skimmed through most of the letters until he noticed two letters from the same college. He smiled as he knew that they were letters for Gar and Rachael. He walked into the living room where the gang sat. He grew a big smile as he gave both of the teens the letters.
"What's this dad?" Gar asked as he looked at his father.
"Read it and find out." Mr. Logan said with a smile.
Gar and Rachael glanced at each other then focused onto their letters in their hands. Gar slowly opened his letter while Rachael was already reading her letter. Gar sighed as his palms began to become sweaty. Mrs. Logan draped an arm over her son's shoulders. He opened the letter and began to read the letter. A big smile grew on his face as he read the acceptance letter. He turned to Rachael who gave him a big smile. He sprang from the couch jumping in excitement. He quickly grabbed Rachael and embraced her.
"I got in! I got in!" He said with excitement
Rachael laughed. "So did I."
Mr. and Mrs. Logan smiled at each other. They soon congratulated the two teens.
"Oh I am so proud of you two." Mrs. Logan said as she hugged the two teens. "My little baby boy is going off to college." Mrs. Logan said as she stroked her son's cheek.
"Mom." Gar laughed.
"Let's celebrate by going out for dinner." Mr. Logan said with a smile.
The rest happily agreed.

"Charlene Tubman." The principle announced as a young female graduate made her way to the platform to receive her diploma. She smiled and shook the hand of the principle. She smiled and walked off the platform. Graduation was here. It was a beautiful summer day. Chairs were placed on the school's field. Parents and family members of the many graduates sat in the white chairs as they smiled and took pictures of the graduates. Mrs. Logan sat in her beautiful red and white chevron pattered dress that fitted her very nicely. Mr. Logan sat next to her with her hand in his. He wore black dress pants and a light blue button up shirt. Mrs. Logan had the camera in her hands. She had it ready for whenever she saw Gar or Rachael or their friends.
"Victor Stone." The principle announced.
Victor made his way to the platform in his graduation gown with a big smile on his face. He heard the cheers of his family. He received the diploma from the principle and smiled at his family, waving the diploma in his hands. He walked off the platform.
"Kori Anderson" Just as the principle announced the name, she heard a loud squeal from the back and saw Kori eagerly making her way up the stairs to the platform. She had a very big smile on her face. She turned to her parents and sister and waved at them with her big, cheerful and innocent smile. She received the diploma and hugged the principle. She made another wave to her family and walked off the platform.
"Richard Grayson."
Richard gave one of his cool smiles that had some girls gasping. He walked to the principle and calmly received his diploma. He made a wave at the crowed and his step-father and left the stage.
"Rachael Roth."
Rachael calmly appeared on the platform. Mrs. Logan's sewing paid off as the graduation gown that was absolutely too large for Rachael, now fitted her perfectly. A loud cheer was heard from Mr. and Mrs. Logan. She smiled and waved to the loving parents who took her in. She received her diploma and walked off the platform.
"Garfield Logan."
Mr. and Mrs. Logan stood from their seats cheering their son. Gar blushed from the sudden action of their parents and made smiled back at them. Gar would never remember this day. Before, he never thought he would be on this stage, He believed that he would live in his parents basement for the rest of his life, but he isn't. He was standing in front of his principle, receiving his diploma. Once he received his diploma, he raised his arms in the air with triumph. He soon walked off the platform and hugged his friends that embraced him.
