"We are going to be late Kamille!" Her mom said as Kamille sat in the bathroom trying to get her dress zipped.

"I need help." Kamille whined as Emeria walked into the bathroom

"What's wrong?"

"Im fat!" Kamille said sitting on the toilet crying

"Oh no baby not today." Aalysia said walking in. She dealt with Kamille and her little meltdowns on a daily basis so she knew how to deal with her.

"Your pregnant with two big head ass babies." Lamar said walking into the bathroom eating a bowl of cereal with Erin in his other arm. "Damn we look good." He said looking at Erin and himself in the mirror.

"Shut Up boy. You look good babe and those babies are just making you look even better."

Kamille looked at her with one of those I know you fucking lying looks and sighed.

"I know can you just try and zip me up." Kamille asked standing up as she zipped up her dress.

She was finally done with her hair and makeup thinking she had a little time to spare.

"What time is it?"

"Going on three I think."

"So where are we meeting afterwards?"

"The diner." Kamille said putting on her house shoes.

"Yo where Lil E carseat?" Lamar asked

"It should still be in Kamille's car."

"Whoever riding with me needs to come on!" Ms. Pat said yelling up the stairs

A few of Ace's other cousins were there helping Kamille get ready and try to make the process a bit smoother. Everyone was automatically drawn to Erin and just wanted to love all over him but he was stuck to Kamille like glue. Every now and then he'd interact but only on his terms and he made sure to look for Kamille for reassurance.

"Are you driving?" Aalysia asked Kamille

"Yeah Im driving Ace's truck so it will be room for a few more people."

"Well we need to leave now or we are going to be late."

"Okay okay where is my Erin?" Kamille asked

"In the truck with Lamar already."

"Let's go then."

"Hello everyone and welcome to the class of 2017 graduation. I ask that before we begin this ceremony, let me remind you to turn your cell phones to silent mode and be courteous around you."

"Hello everyone I am Jennifer Pickets and I will be your host for today." Mrs. Pickets smiled

"Today marks a very special day for these students sitting right here behind me. I have not only had the opportunity to teach some of these students myself but I have also been their principal for their high school year. I've practically grown with these students, they've seen me at my worst and at my highest and I've seen the same for them as well. I pride myself with the fact that I have actually taken the time to get to know my students and be there for them as a support system, a shoulder to lean on and a second parent to many. I know how hard it is to fight the statistics held against our students here today but they've made it here finally. Friends and Family once again welcome!" Mrs. Pickets said walking away as the counselors came up.
