Patricia's POV
Icky, itchy gowns and cap thingies. We were all in the auditorium, with Jake giving his Valedictorian speech and all.
"Graduation will always be a special day for us," he said with a smile. "It marks an end and a new beginning at the same time. I'd like to call up Eddie Miller?" I sit up straight at his name. Eddie hadn't been looking alright for the past few hours. He looked… depressed? A shot went through me. Oh my word, was he going to break up with me? On my graduation day? Gosh, my goose bumps were getting goose bumps…
"First of all, I'd like to thank you, American friend, for everything. Second, we'd like to call up Patricia Williamson and Emma Say?" Jake says, his face suddenly turning dark. They both turn around and mutter something to each other. They turn around to face us again, and give a last glance at each other. Emma and I get up from our seats, walking down the aisle, giving each other concerned looks. We give each other a small encouraging smile and walk up on stage. The boys were standing right in the middle, with their hands in their pockets, looking… worried. Damn, now, I knew that they were going to break up with us. I groan and stand by Eddie's left, while Emma, to Jake's right. The take their hands out their pockets.
"Patricia Williamson. You are the love of my life. You have always stuck by me, although we've had our ups and downs. Here I go: Will you marry me?" Eddie asked. He was down on one knee. I quickly look to Emma – Jake had done the exact same thing, just filling in Emma's name. Her and my eyes met, and we both nodded slightly. I looked down to Eddie, who was getting that worried look on his face again.
I grin, "Of course I'll marry you, doofus," I say. He shot up, holding my hand. He slips the ring onto my right hand engagement finger, and kisses me. I pull back, only to see the shiny ring on Emma's finger, still kissing Jake. The hall explodes with applauds, cat calls, and whistles. Emma and I are both crying tears of joy, and all our friends come to hug us.
After the moment of joy calms down, all of us go back to our seats.
Mr Sweet gets onto stage.
"Thank you, Jacob, for your amazing speech," he says. "You may now all change positions of your tassel to the left hand side," he said with a wide smile. We all did so.
"Congratulations, you are now officially ALL graduates!" he said, clapping.
"WOO HOO!" filled the hall, with the caps being thrown into the air. Eddie and I hugged and kissed, and so did the 6 other couples in the year, including Jaemma.
Back at the House
"Whoa, that was tiring, but fun!" Mara exclaimed. Trudy had cooked us all a 'Congratulations' meal, and we were stuffing ourselves, especially Julian.
"Yea, it was, wasn't it?" Jay said, laughing. We were sitting
at the table, with Emma and I next to our respective boyfriends, no, fiancés. I drag Eddie into his bedroom, Emma follows with Jake.
"Why were you acting so weird for the past few hours, before the big drama?" I question.
"Look Yacker… I was just so scared that you wouldn't say yes… And I couldn't go on like that – calling you my girlfriend… I wanted to call you my fiancée, my wife," he says, looking at me.
"Same here," said Jake. "Yesterday, when we were talking in the corner, we were discussing the proposal, how it'd happen, and how we'd get the rings. When we supposedly went out for 'air', we bought the rings," he finished.
"Wow…" Emma and I both say, stunned and surprised. I honestly had NO idea that he really liked, no loved me this much… I mean, I knew he really liked me and all, but not enough to marry… Oh gosh…
"But now, we're both SO happy that you both said 'yes' to our big favours. We feel like the happiest men on earth…" Eddie says, grinning at Jake. I give him a smile and hug him.
"Thank you. Thank you so much," I say softly into his ear.
"So when will our wedding be?" Eddie said, pulling back from the hug.
"Whoa there! We have to celebrate our graduation, and now here, you're talking about our wedding?" I teased. Emma laughed along. We were the happiest couples in the world. Of course, I had NO idea what would eventually come in a couple of years…

The next day
Eddie's POV
"Just call me Eric, dear," dad said to Patricia, who was blushing crazy.
"Oh and, congratulations, Edison – I never knew you would make it this far with Miss Williamson," he teased.
"Dad…" I said, blushing too.
"I'm pulling your leg," he said, laughing. "When will you break the news to your mum and Patricia, to your family?" he asked.
"Soon, I suppose…" I said. I turned to Patricia. "Today, when we get to your house?" I asked her.
"Sure," she said.
"I can give you guys a lift… Just promise: no baby making in the back of my car!" he shrieked with laughter.
"DAD!"
"MR SWEET!"
Yacker and I both screamed at the same time.
"Sorry, sorry," he said, not looking apologetic at all.
But anyways, my status: Happiest guy on earth, who was a woman that he doesn't deserve, but is lucky enough to…
