*Ivy's P.O.V*

We all walked out of the house and sat in the car. My mom drove quite quickly. In no time we were outside the school. 

Ashton and i got out of the car while holding each others hands. 

As soon as Mrs Thompson saw me, she starting walking in my direction. 

"Oh Ivy, you look so beautiful", she said with a smile. 

"Uhm thank you", i said while smiling back. 

"Okay now go and put on your cap and toga, everyone is almost here", she said turning to my parents. "Hello, i'll show you your seats", she said shaking my dads hand. 

Ashton and i chuckled.

She's been like this the whole day, all over the place. 

"Well, i guess i'll see you later", i said as i pecked Ashtons lips.

"You'll do great", he whispered into my ear, before i left. 

I walked into the school, my high heels clicking as i walked. I heard everyone from my class in the hall. 

"Ivy!!", they yelled as i came in. 

They handed me my toga and cap. I got dressed into it and looked for Klara. I spotted her in the corner, eating food, as always. 

"Hey", i said with a huge grin. "You ready?", i said jumping up and down sliglty. 

She shook her head. "I'm so nervous.. What if i failed? What if i don't go through and i have to stay here another year!?", she said panicking. 

I chuckled. "Calm down, you'll do fine, don't worry", i said while placing my hand on her shoulder. 

She smiled at me. "Thanks, but i'm still hella nervous."

"Just like all of us!", said a guy, which i didn't know the name of. 

"ATTENTION SENIORS!!", said our principal through the intercom. 

Everyone went silent and listened to what the pricipal had to say. 

"I am very proud of you all, it's your special day today, you should all be happy! Now, i ask you nicely to behave once you're up on that stage, all of your families will be there watching you..", she said taking a small pause. "So now.. This is it. Mrs Thompson is waiting for you at the front door, if you please would walk in a line that would be great. Thank you."

We all made a single line and began to walk towards the front door where Mrs Thompson stood. I felt so nervous and excited at the same time. It's like i felt butterflies in my stomach but it was also twisting and turning. I hate having mixed feelings, but this is how i felt. 

"Are you ready!?", whispered Mrs Thompson with a big grin. "Let's go", she said opening the door. 

"Ladies and gentlemen, family and friends, i'd like you all to welcome the Seniors of 2014", said the vice princiapl, through the microphone who was standing on the podium. 

Everyone started clapping and cheering. We all made our way up on the stage in a line, just like our principal told us to. 

I could see my family and Ashton taking pictures and smiling at me. I was trying so hard not to blush. 

"Now, before we give out the Diplomas, i'd like to say a few words", said our principal looking at all of us with a smile. "You've all been great students through the years, i remember teaching some of you when you were little, it's really amazing how fast time can fly, we don't even notice. It's a great experience though, i hope you all never forget the memories that you have made in this school..", she said taking a slight pause. "..So now we shall give out the Diplomas. One by one i will call out your names and you'll come up to get your Certificate and make a speech."
