Ella POV:
Graduation day. Who would've thought I'd actually make it here without losing my mind—or Jason driving me to it? The past few months had been a whirlwind, a mix of challenges, unexpected friendships, and personal growth. If you'd told me back when I first arrived on campus that Jason and his crew of loud, obnoxious goofballs would become the only people I consistently talked to, I'd have laughed in your face. But life is funny that way.
Today felt surreal. I wasn't just graduating from school; I was closing a chapter of my life and stepping into something entirely new.
Jason had been texting me lately, casually (but not-so-subtly) asking me to stop by his place. The guy had a way of making his intentions sound innocent, but I wasn't naive. I already knew what could happen if I went. We both knew.
