Graduation Part 1

The next day was the big day! Graduation, 3PM came around.

C: Ouuuuuu, don't we look good in our floral dresses!

*Carina had on a white floral dress that ran just above her knees with heels, while I had on a pink vintage dress, also with floral design that also was just above my knees. I wore flats, like always.

Me: We sure do! I'm so glad we were able to plan this! Ugh I can't believe that this is it! Somewhat nervous, but excited too... and a little sad cause Jackson won't be coming tonight.

C: Cheer up Ori. No matter what I'm here *Carina and I hugged! Gosh being friends since we were 3 years old. This is it!

Me: Yes, I know! We always have fun regardless. Are you ready to go?

C: Yes! Let's meet up with everyone else before the ceremony!

**The graduation ceremony was hosted downtown of LillyVill at the LillyVill center.

Carina and I arrived at the center and we met up with our friends. We decided to take some pictures at the fountain down the street. While walking, I couldn't help but still feel sad a little that Jackson wasn't going to make it... I know it's stupid to think this and I should be understanding, but you only graduate once from high school.. I wish things were different...

C: Ori?

I was silent.

C: ORI!

I snapped out of it,

Me: Yes?

C: SMILE!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahah Stop thinking too much! I know exactly what you're thinking about!

Me: Sorry ok ok.

We smiled and took a million pictures ! Serious ones, in which we couldn't help but burst out laughing, cringy ones, silly ones, and "normal ones"

Time went by quickly and soon enough we had to head back to the center. The ceremony was starting.

The graduation song played and we lined up in Alphabetical order from our last name.

We walked one by one onto the main floor where our ceremony was going to be held. This is it I thought. Once we entered the main floor, I began looking around, searching for my family. I quickly scan the room with hundreds of people. This is impossible I thought.. but I kept scanning the room and finally something caught my attention. There was a sign....

The sign said only one thing,"ORIANA"

Seeing this I looked closer and I realized that it was no one other than Jackson standing with my family and waving.
