The Afton Story

William's POV

Graduation

Like all school events I found this just as boring, the only thing I'm even remotely excited about is my so called parents allowing me to celebrate with Henry, Clara and Emi at Henry's house later. We were just planning on drinking and playing some board games since my parents only said yes if I stayed inside. Which is perfectly fine, I'd rather stay inside planning new animatronic designs with Henry, but I promised those three I'd try to have fun tonight. 

"William Afton." I sighed and glanced at my friends as I stood up and walked across the stage. They only reason I kept straight A's was to please my parents, so when they asked of I wanted to do the speech it was quite easy for me to turn the offer down. As I neared the podium I gave a big smile like I was actually excited to be there, and went through the motions they showed us beforehand: shake their hand, accept the scroll, and wait while they move the tassel to the other side. After all this we were to head off the stage opposite of the side we entered on and sit with the rest of the students who already got their diploma. 

Emilie was already done so I took a sit next to her and we whispered back and forth while we waited for the others. After about an hour or so Henry was with us and we decided we were going to sneak off as soon as Clara was here. When Clara's turn was almost here Henry got up to "Use the bathroom", shortly after I followed. Instead of using the bathroom we ran out to Henry's car. We told Emilie to fill in Clara that we'd, meet them in front of the school.  It took roughly ten minutes for the two girls to show up outside, but it took them merely seconds to hop into the car laughing and tell Henry to step on it. 

"So we left, now what?" Emi asked from behind me.

"I don't know about you losers. But im starving, how about lunch?" Clara snickered from next to Emi.

"Oh! Absolutely! Aunt Jane's or pizza at my house?" Henry questioned though he already knew the answer.

"Aunt Jane's!" The three of us spoke in unison before all of us bursts out laughing. We arrived at the small beat up looking diner and happily greeted the heavyset woman who owned the place. We took out usual booth in the back safe from view from the windows and got comfortable in the faded blue booth. Earl, the one waiter who'd been working here for nearly 20 years didn't even bother handing us menus since we knew the menu by heart. 

LATER

After our lunch we made our way back to Henry's and just decided to finalize our plans.  Me and Henry were going to get degrees as engineers and cooking so we could open our animatronic restaurant, while Emi wanted to go to Art school and Clara a dance academy. Unfortunately, unknown to us at the time, but that wouldn't happen for a year or two...

We spent the rest of the day shopping, then went to Henry's and spent the night eating pizza, making prank calls, drinking, and playing board games we had found. I don't even remember how much I had drank I just know me and Henry were the last to fall asleep.
