Graduation ceremony

Two months had flown by since Raven's birthday, and now it was time for the most awaited event of our high school journey: the graduation ceremony. The atmosphere was electric as we gathered with our classmates and families, all dressed in our caps and gowns, ready to celebrate the culmination of four years of hard work and dedication.

Standing next to Raven, I felt a surge of pride. We had been through so much together, and now we were about to take the next big step in our lives.

The ceremony began, and the excitement in the air was tangible. The sound of applause and cheers filled the auditorium as each student's name was called, each one taking their turn to walk across the stage and receive their diploma.

Finally, it was my turn. I took a deep breath and stepped forward, my heart pounding in my chest as I made my way to the stage. The principal smiled at me as he handed me my diploma, and I felt a surge of pride wash over me as I held it in my hands.
