“It’s not fear I smell, it’s future.” She said this with a big smile on her face, standing in front of a whole crowd filled with black gowns.

She came up, and I hugged her, both of us wearing black gowns, I couldn’t believe it we were graduating.

“I’m just Glad I have you, I know I don’t say it a lot but there.”

“Awh, Luke, I didn’t know you were such a softie!” She lightly punched

“I didn’t know either,” I said, in a low voice.

“Look I just want you to know that you’ve changed my perspective, and now that we’re graduating, I’m glad I’m doing it with you, and I know I don’t appreciate you enough, but I just want you to know.”

“Stop, you’re going to make me cry.” Her eyes started to water, and her voice cracked but so did mine.

We held on tight, not knowing what was to come, but what we knew was

Whatever we’d be doing, we’d be doing it together.
