Graduation.
It was early in the morning. Katelyn woke up at around 5:30 am. The commencement won't start until 8am. Katelyn asked her sister to hurry up which annoyed her Kaye. Their parents called just when they were fighting. They asked them to stop it. Especially that it's a special occassion and all.
Actually, having the fight with Kaye didn't bother Katelyn. It was the fact that her parents won't be with her on that special day that actually made her feel like it didn't matter at all. When would her parents actually be there in a memorable and special occasion of her life?
Her cousin fetched them and drove them down to Hillsdale.
Her sister paid for the photo services. Then went to the gymnasium.
Katelyn on the other hand went to the assembly area. She saw her classmates, took pictures with them. She would miss everything. Staying in the grade school building, their teachers, some classmates, the subjects everything. Realizing that she's spending the last minutes of her grade school life, she made the most of it. Talking to everyone, laughing.
She talked most especially to Benny, Cassidy, Halley. They talked about what Cassidy would do. "My parents asked me to choose. Which one of them would stay for me to stay here." She said. "It's hard. Choosing one might make them feel bad or something."
They finished talking. Then they lined up. The ceremony's about to start.
They one by one walked down the red carpet. Katelyn then went to her seat. Beside Tricia.
The ceremony passed. Her sister, Kaye, went up the stage with her. The batch sang Thanks to You. Then for the last song, Farewell. Katelyn shed a tear or two. It is, truly the end of her grade school days. People would leave. Things would change.
"Goodbye and thank you grade 6, for the last time." Ms. Norbury said. "Goodbye and thank you for the last time Ms. Norbury." They greeted goodbye.
Katelyn was fetched by her sister. They went directly to the car. No time for more chit chats. Then she actually slept at home.
When she woke up, she got ready to go to the mall and ocean park.
She came with her sister and her sister's boyfriend. Without her parents but still she wanted to have fun.
They ate at the mall. Then went to the ocean park.
They got three tickets. 0002-00025640, 0002-00025641, 0002-00025642. Were their ticket numbers. Katelyn got the 2nd one. They joined the line. Took pictures.
They had a tour. Still took pictures.
It was night time. They were about to go. They were walking and taking pictures when Kaye took the camera. And, goodbye pictures. they were all deleted.
They laughed about it at least. They had pictures in their cellphones.
