I can't believe it, I graduate today. I am so excited I can barely contain myself. I get up bright and early to take a shower. While I am brushing out my hair I start thinking about Elyon, then two minutes later I get a text message from him. It read "Good morning Sweetheart are you ready for you big day?"
It always makes me smile when he calls me sweetheart, it makes me feel loved.
I tell him I am far to excited I have been up for a while, I have already pulled out my clothes for the day, taken my shower, and started working on my hair. Then I told him the girls would be over at noon so we could get dressed and ready together. He tells me good luck and he will see me later.
Then I go downstairs to help mom with breakfast. We have waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast.
While we are eating dad asks," Are you ready for today? I already got a call from the caterers they will be here at eleven. The band will be here at one. And I called the party planner and told her to be here at 10:30 a.m. So far everything is going according to schedule."
"That's great daddy, the girls will be here at noon so we can do our hair and make-up. Also Elyon will be here at two so he can get a ride with us to the Arena."
"You would think by now that boy would buy a car. He was smart enough to buy the house. Has he givin the rental back yet, do you know?"
"Yes mom, he gave the rental back. He keeps debating about getting a car. He is to used to walking everywhere. Besides I am okay with driving him around to wherever he needs to go. He doesn't ask very often."
"Well I will talk to him after the party to see what his plans are for the future."
"Oh dad please don't embarrass me okay. It's up to him if he wants a car or not."
"Don't worry I won't embarrass you. I am just curious."
"Okay daddy I just don't want to be there when you talk to him okay. I will be mortified as is."
"Okay you too let's stop arguing and get back on track. So far everything is going according to plan. Let's hope it stays that way. Now let's get things cleaned up and get our day moving forward. We still have a lot to do."
After we cleaned up, then we went out to the backyard to set up what we could. It didn't take to long then the caterers showed up and it was crazy watching them work.
Then the girls showed up and we all went to my room to get ready. First Yvette did everyone's hair. Then Marie does our make-up. Finally I add finishing touches to all three outfits. By the time we were done mom came knocking on the door.
"Hey guys are you about done. Girls Andy and Chris are here and girls they look good. Emma Elyon is walking up the driveway now. I can't tell from this far away but I would say he looks cute too."
With that both girls rush to the window to get a look at Elyon. Yvette looks at me in shock and says,"Oh my god, he is your date for graduation? How did you manage that?"
"I asked him, and he said yes. As you know I have helped him out a few times and we went out to the movies that one time. I figures why not. I have to admit I was Surprised when he said yes."
"Wow Emma his suit matches your dress. Everyone will think your a couple."
"Would that be a bad thing Marie? What if we were a couple?"
Oh my God I can't believe it are you dating? That would be awesome. When did that happen?"
" Well I wouldn't call it dating. Tonight is technically only our second date. But we will see."
"Come now Marie, Emma has never dated before. He is going to be like Jimmy. She will show him around town, be his friend, then when he is looking for more she will ignore the signs. Then he will come to me and we will date for a while untill I get bored with him."
"Yvette how can you say that? Especially in her house and just before the party her family is paying for. Don't you think it's a bit harsh?"
"No I don't think so. It's just she hasn't been with a man ever and I don't think it will Chang with Elyon. Then I will step in and take care of him."
"Ok both of you need to shut up. I am right here. Yvette stop making plans, I am waiting for him to show interest in me first. If I don't think it's going to work out then you can have him. Untill then just shut up and wait."
With that I leave my room. I wait on the top step for a moment to collect myself. Then my door opens and I go downstairs. Elton was waiting at the bottom of the stairs for me. I hug him and he whispers," Are you okay Honey?" I nod my head into his shoulder and when I pull back he kisses me. I am a bit shocked by his open display of affection. But then I smile and lean in to him. Everyone stops what they are doing to watch. We can hear Marie whisper to Yvette," I don't think your going to get him. I think he has made his intention known to every one."
Then Marie runs down the rest of the stairs and says," Okay you to break it up. Some of us can't handle the sweet, gooey displays of affection."
Elyon steps back and everyone started laughing. The boys are hitting each other on the shoulder saying we need to take pointers from him.
Then mom and dad usher everyone out to the vans. We head out to the Arena. Once we get there all five of us head to where the group is meeting to get in line for the ceremony. Meanwhile mom, dad, and Elyon are sitting out in my section talking and getting to really know each other. Dad asks Elyon all the questions he said he would not ask in front of me. I guess everything went well because they were laughing and talking when my class came out to our seats.
It took all of twenty-five minutes for my class to graduate. All I could do was focus on Elyon. While I was standing there listening to the closing speeches I heard a voice saying,"Come on hurry up I want to kiss Elyon again."
I kept my cool but I needed to talk to Elyon badly.
I was more than happy to climb back in the van and sit next to him. Then I heard it again. This time all it said was,"Mate,Mate,Mate."
While this was happening I squeezed Elyon's hand. He looked at me and frowned. Then i shook my head just a little.
