Bamons POV:Bonnie

Elena looks amazing. As Valedictorian of our Virginia State graduating class of 2015, she is gleaming on stage. Caroline and I are sitting next to

each other, shaking, and smiling, waiting for her to say "Congratulations class of 2015! WE DID IT!" and with that every cap went up in the air.

After high school, all of us got accepted into VS, and have been closer than ever. Elena raced down the steps of the stage and ran into our arms

as we jumped up and down together, squealing and laughing in harmony.

"Well, it's over!" Caroline said with a relieved voice. She has had the most difficult college experience out of all of us. From driving back and forth

from Mystic Falls to take care of her mom who was turned into a vampire a few years back, to visiting Matt at Virginia Tech where he plays football,

she has had her hands full for quite a while.

"I'm so proud of us. We stuck it out for four years together as roommates, and we are still here best friends" Elena said smiling her 100 watt

smile.

"We have been best friends since we could walk, of course we did it!"I added, too happy to disagree. From Elena constantly fawning over her and

Stefan's relationship, and venting about how much she misses him, and the late night calls, the weekends where the sock is on the door for

hours at a time, and the all night study sessions, she has been quite the roommate. Not that I'm complaining, but I don't think she realizes how

much of a perfect life she has all of the time. After we beat the Originals, Elena and Stefan have been pretty solid. They got back together as soon

as the mess was cleaned up, and from there on, they have been more attached to each other every passing moment. Stefan didn't come to

Virginia State with us because he was enrolled here in the 1920's when it first opened, so all of his files would still be here. Keep in mind he came

to visit her at least every other day, since he bought a house about 30 minutes driving distance away for them to share when she graduated. He

has been renovating it for years now, and still will not let Elena see it until their wedding night. Not that they are engaged or anything, but Elena

promised to move back in with Jenna to help her and Alaric raise the baby. Before Elena's mom died, she said that if she got married before 23, it

would be the youngest Gilbert marriage yet. Elena wants to get married at the end of the summer, right after she turns 23, well technically. Elena

became a vampire right before Klaus got into town so he couldn't use her as the doppelganger. Elena and Stefan will be 17 forever, but luckily,

her age will not catch up to her for a good 4 more years. After that, she has to move away, and start a new life somewhere else because by then,

she will supposed to be 26 almost 27, and she would still look 17. It's all complicated stuff. I am currently working on a spell that might be able to

make Stefan and Elena age so it would make their lives easier, but I haven't figured it out yet. It is crucial for me as well because now that I am

dating Damon, I need to be able to help him as well. Since I am a witch, I will never be able to become a vampire since crossovers are very

dangerous, so I know that our love is limited to 10-15 years. I will not be in my forties while he is still 24 forever...

"Bon, are you okay? You have been spacing out for a few minutes." Elena asked with a worried look.

"Yeah , I'm fine. Just wondering how everyone's doing back in Mystic Falls!" I lied, trying to create a distraction. Truth is, I'm scared to how my life

will turn out! Elena and Stefan are on the one way track to a perfect life together. Caroline and Matt are perfect for each other since he

completely knows how to handle Caroline. I don't even know how to do that yet! I am still figuring out where I'm going to live now, and how I am

going to support myself once Damon leaves town. I don't want to be the sidekick to Elena for the rest of my life. I need something to work for me,

for once. After Jeremy and I broke up, my Dad found out I have been using magic behind his back. He disowned me, and I lived with Elena for the

summer before college, and the summers in between. Now she is going to start her life with Stefan while I am still trying to figure out what to do

with myself. The truth is,... I don't know how I am going to get through this summer.

Stelenas POV: Elena

Keep smiling, look excited, and look up from the cards was all I was thinking while giving my valedictorian speech. As I was reciting the words that

I practiced several hundred times, and knew by heart, I looked out to the audience to see the familiar faces looking up at me. Bonnie and Caroline

in the third row, sitting next to each other, beaming at me with wide smiles. In the fifth row of guests were Jenna and Alaric with their new baby

Marissa looking proud and glass eyed while I spoke of my amazing support system at home. On the other side of Jenna was the one person I was

focused on entirely. Stefan. He wore his gleaming white smile, and green dress shirt I picked out for him last week. He looked so immensely

happy, and I felt it radiating off of him the entire speech. This whole college deal was his idea. He wanted me to have the normal experience of

going to college for the first time since the rest of my life will not be normal for a long time. I was turned into a vampire right before Klaus and the

Originals got into town seeking for me, the human doppelganger of Katerina Petrova, and Katherine, the bitch that got out of their reach in the

1490s. The only way to protect me was to turn me, and Stefan changed me after much reluctance and counseling from his brother, Damon. It has

not been as terrible as I thought, and besides for the feeding, and not aging, it has been a pretty normal five years. I finished my speech, and

ran down to Bonnie and Caroline. We hugged each other tight and said the usual, "I can't believe we survived college! We are still best friends! I

love you guys so much!" stuff, and then broke off to find our own families. I ran straight to Stefan who had his arms out for me to jump into. He

picked me up and kissed me until my head began to spin.

"I am SO proud of you love!" Stefan said whole heartedly. He was still smiling and gazing into my eyes while Jenna and Alaric came up to

congratulate me. Jenna pulled me into a tight hug and I turned to Stefan and mouthed later to him silently.

"Wow, Elena! That speech was just as amazing the hundredth time!" Jenna said in her typical sarcasm voice.

"Thanks Jenna! Man there was a lot of people watching me" I said giggling trying to pull off the cap and gown. I decided to wear a summer dress

under the gown so Stefan and I could go out for a nice dinner afterwards. He was still in the background watching me, and congratulating Bonnie

and Caroline as they walked by. I winked at him and told him I would be there in a minute.

"Well, I will be at your house tomorrow, bright and early with my stuff!" I said cheerfully. I really wasn't too excited to be staying with Jenna and

Alaric for the summer, but Stefan won't let me see the house we bought until our wedding night. The wedding date is set for September 3rd, the

day I met Stefan six years ago, but that is still a good 3 months away. I decided to stay with them to help with Marissa, since they don't

really know how to handle a four month old. I said good bye and walked towards Stefan who was waiting for me by my car.

"Hello there Miss College graduate" He said in a formal tone, bowing when I got to the car. I laughed at his attempt of being romantic and

grabbed him by the hand and kissed him again.

"Mmmm, I can get used to this "I said falling into his chest. I still get butterflies every time he kisses me, and he told me that it was the same for

him, and that true love does that to you.

"Alright, where do you want to go? The steak house, that fish place you love". He said before I cut him off.

"How bout we go to our new house, make dinner, and then go night swimming before I have to go to Jenna's in the morning?" I asked

suggestively. Stefan has only given me two clues to what our house has. A white picket fence in the front, and a large swimming pool in the back.

He gives me a new clue every month, and by the time we have moved in, I would have 5 clues, one for every year I have been a vampire, or what

Stefan likes to call it, one for every year I knew I would have you forever.

"No, Don't think that one will work, but we can go to the hotel on eighth street, eat room service, and watch bad TV and take a bath in the Jacuzzi

tub" He said knowing I would agree.

"Ughhh, alright, that's my second choice". I said with a disappointed tone. I really cannot wait for the summer to end. My whole life has been

perfect since the Originals were destroyed. Stefan and I have been perfect together, Bonnie and Damon have been going strong for two years

now, Caroline and Matt got back together in December, and Jenna and Alaric have a perfect family. The truth is, that besides waiting for Stefan

and I to get married in September, I don't know what I am going to do with myself. How am I going to survive this summer?
