I Accidentally Kissed My Bestfriends Brother

30. Graduation

Finally.

Graduation Day is here.

I wore a white dress that's fancy but casual.

Stella wore a silk red dress that stopped at her knees.

As soon as we both got to the school, we walked backstage so that we could get our assigned cap and gowns.

"You look pure" I hear someone say from behind me which causes me to turn around only to come face to face with Easton. I smile at him before I walk into his open arms and wrap my arms around his neck.

"I won't be for long" I say with a smirk before I peck his lips and check him out

He's wearing a basic black and white tuxedo which makes me want to bring him into an empty room.

"Babe, you're drooling" he says with a deep chuckle before he wipes the side of my mouth with his thumb

"Fuck, I don't think you should wear tuxedos around me. It makes me want to rip it off of you and take you right here right now" I whisper out as I press our foreheads together which makes him laugh

"You know, you're throwing my whole pure comment out of the window" he says which makes me smirk as I'm about to kiss him

"Amelia Montgomery" I hear a teacher call my name

Ugh.

Can't you see that I'm busy.

I groan which makes Easton laugh before he pulls away and gently pushes me towards the teacher since I'm in heels. The teacher helps me put on my cap and gown before she sends me towards the line where everyone is lined up in alphabetical order based on first name.

"We will be beginning the ceremony in a couple of short minutes" I hear the principal say into the microphone on the other side of the stage.

I suddenly start to get nervous which causes my palms to sweat.

What if I didn't get any scholarships?

What if Easton or I have to go to school in another state and be separated?

What if he breaks up with me because he can't handle the distance?

"Calm down" I hear Easton say which causes me to look up so that I'm looking into his calm grey eyes

"It's all going to work out" he says as he reaches up and holds my cheeks so that I can't look away

"What if we can't handle the distance and we end up breaking up?" I say as tears start to pool in my eyes which causes pain and sadness to swirl in his eyes

"That won't happen unless it's for a very good reason" he says as he gently wipes away my tears so that he doesn't smudge my makeup

I internally thank him for that.

"Promise?" I asks with a sniffle and a pout which makes him chuckle before he leans in and pecks my lips

"Promise" he says before the principal starts the introduction which means we're going to have to walk out in a couple of minutes

Me, earlier than the others since my first name starts with an 'A'

"Amelia Montgomery" the principal announces

Okay, take a deep breath.

I smile then walk out from behind the curtain before making my way towards the assistant principal, who is holding my diploma.

I grab the diploma before showing it and smiling so that the photographer can get a photo for the summer yearbook.

"Amelia has gotten a scholarship from UCLA and Yale" he says which makes me smile and let out a breath of relief
