After her father remarries leaving he with more brothers than she can count, Jessica De Van has only one wish - to make it in the music world.
And who knows, maybe brothers can be good for some things?
Two years had passed since the Europe trip and my popularity just kept rising as I grew up and started getting gigs in not only singing/song writing but also dancing and acting. However today was my graduation, I am 16. I dressed in a baby blue off the shoulder, tea cup dress with white heeled sandals and white diamond accessories. I curled my hair and did my makeup before going to school.

When we got to school I split from my family and went to get my gown and cap. I was voted Valedictorian so I got special robes and a different hat - where everyone else's caps had red tassels, mine had yellow.

After the teacher's speeches, I got up to address everyone - something I had gotten better at with my concerts. I could see my family taking pictures of me and Caleb (My boyfriend through all of this) silently cheering me on. I decided to 'borrow' Jessica's valedictorian speech from Twilight as I wasn't exactly bothered to write my own. I did change it up a bit though!
"Hi! For those of you who don't know me, I am Jessica De Van. Yes THAT Jessica De Van! Anyway, when we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like astronaut, president, or in my case, a dancer... When we were ten, they asked us again. We answered - rock star, cowboy, or in my case, an actress... But now that we've grown up, they want a more serious answer. Well, how about this... Who the hell knows? This isn't a time to make hard and fast decisions. This is the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love - a lot. Major in philosophy because there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again because nothing is permanent. So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be... We won't have to guess. We'll know." I left the stage to a massive applause and sat back down next to Caleb in the D section of the room - his surname being Daniels.
"Did you really just copied Jessica Stanley's speech from Twilight?" He whispered to me, leant over towards me a small amount.
"Of course not!" I replied, "I changed it up a little..." He smirked at me as we stood to collect our diplomas. I was pleasantly shocked to find mine was an Honours Diploma. After everyone had gone, we all dispersed to find our families - mine was the easiest to find. Caleb kissed me on the cheek before going to find his dad and Harper, who is now 7!
We all had an amazing time before we had to go home - stopping by the car park to pick up my new car! It was a black Lamborghini Aventador with electric blue accents. When I got in I discovered an amazing thing... It was a convertible!!

After driving home in my new car, I went for a ride on Lucky. Now all I have to do is find a way to tell my family I want to study abroad...
