Chapter 55: Finale
6 months later
I smooth out my cap and gown and sit up in my seat. I couldn't believe that I was finally graduating. I glance back at the row behind me, Richard catches my eye and winks and I smile back. The valedictorian finally finishes their speech and its time for the principal to start calling names. 'Pomp and Circumstance' starts to blare on the speakers as we stand up and begin to walk toward the stage.
"Kori Anders", the principal calls my name, I hear cheers from the crowd and look up and see my parents and brothers cheering wildly I give them a quick wave before getting my diploma.
"Congratulations", the principal says while shaking my hand he then hands me my diploma.
"Thank you", I say and take my diploma, I then walk past the stage to get my picture taken.
After I get my photo and, I then take my seat, the principals continues calling names when he starts naming people with the last name beginning with G, this catches my attention.
"Richard Grayson", the principals says while I clap widely as Richard walks up and gets his diploma.
Richard shakes the principal's hand and get's his diploma, he then waves to the crowd as he leaves the stage. I focus on the graduation when I hear someone sit next to me.
"Richard! Go back to your seat!" I hiss, "You'll get in trouble", I say.
"Psh, please what are they going to do take away my diploma?" Richard says, "This school can't wait to get rid of me", he says, "Besides I missed you", he says and reaches for my hand.
"I missed you too, it's not my fault my mom scheduled and a spa day", I say.
"It was worth it, you look more radiant than ever", Richard says and I blush.
"Hey! You can't sit there" and assistant principals says and starts to make his way over to us.
"That's my cue", Richard says and gives me a quick kiss on the lips before returning to his seat.
Graduation is finally over; I scan the lobby of the arena looking for my parents.
"Kori! Kori! Over here", my mom yells.
I run over and give my mom a huge hug, "Oh I'm so proud of you sweetie", she says and wipes a couple of tears from her eyes.
"Mom don't cry, your gunna make me start crying", I say as I feel tears in my eye.
My dad hands me a bouquet of roses, "We're so proud of you kiddo, you've grown up into a beautiful young woman", my dad says.
"Thanks dad", I say and give him a hug.
"Yea congrats sis", Ry says, "Now you can finally move out and I can have your room", Ry says.
"Ow!" He says as my mom pinches him and I laugh.
"Serves you right Ry, but I still love you", I say and give him a hug.
"So where are we eating dinner? I'm starving", my dad says.
"Um actually, I was hoping we could postpone dinner, so I can go to Richard's grad party tonight", I say.
My dad sighs, "Fine, I need a nap anyway", he says.
"Yes! Thank you!" I say and give my parents a huge hug.
"I'll see you guys tomorrow", I say and run away quickly before my parents argue over when my curfew is.
I scan through the crowd and find Richard; I reach out and hug him from behind wrapping my arms around his waist.
"Whoa", he says and turns around but I am too quick and move in front of him.
I give him a long lingering his on his lips which takes him by surprise, "Someone is in a good mood", Richard says and leans in for another kiss.
"Eh em", Bruce clears his throat, "We're still here you know", he says referring to him and Alfred.
"Sorry", I say and blush with embarrassment.
"Hi Mr. Wayne... and Hi Alfred", I say and give a shy wave.
"Congratulations Miss Kori", Alfred says, "This must be a very happy moment for you", he says.
"It is and thank you Alfred", I say and give him a hug.
"Yea, Congrats Kori", Bruce says.
"Thank you Mr. Wayne", I say.
Bruce then turns to Richard, "Anyway about the party, don't destroy my house and stay out of the west wing", he says sternly.
"I know, I know", Richard says annoyed.
"Good, let's go Alfred", he says and him and Alfred leaves.
"Ready to go?" Richard asks.
"Yea, let's go party", I say and take his hand as we leave the arena.
As we arrive at Wayne Manor the party is in full swing, everyone is having a great time and relaxing.
"There they are!" Vic says, "Took you guys long enough", he says.
"Traffic was a mother", Richard says.
"Right, well grab a drink and join the fun", Vic says.
'Scream' by Usher starts to play over the speakers, I let out a happy shriek, "Let's dance", I say and grab Richard's hand and drag him to the dance floor. We start dancing to the music, I let loose and sway my hips to the music as I dance with Richard. After a couple of songs I am exhausted.
"I need some air!" I yell and Richard nods, He then takes me outside to the pool. The pool is less crowded since most people are still inside. As we get out back, I notice that all my best friends are lounging by the pool.
"Hey guys, I haven't seen you all night", I say and give Rachel and Gar a hug.
"Yea, we needed some air, it was a little too crowded in there, even Gar got tired", Rachel says.
Richard and I sit in one of the beach chairs and I stare into the pool. A smile creeps on my face as a new idea pops into my head.
"Hey Rachel, can you come inside with me for a sec?" I ask.
"Sure", she says and gets up from her chair. As soon as she is close enough I reach out and push her into the pool.
Rachel screams in shock as she lands in the pool, "Kori! What the hell!" She yells as she swims to the surface and everyone laughs.
"Dude that was epic!" Gar says and laughs even more.
"Why don't you join her", Vic says and lifts Gar up and throws him into the pool.
"Woo-hoo!" I yell as I jump in after them, I then swim to the surface, "C'mon guys, its fun!" I say.
Richard jumps in after me, followed by Bee and Vic.
We splash around a bit and start playing Marco Polo, even though Rachel was mad at first I notice she has begun to relax and enjoy herself.
We all laugh after Gar loses Marco Polo for the fifth time; we all decide to get out of the pool. Richard gets us some towels, food, and drinks from inside as we all sit around the pool and talk.
"I can't believe high school is over, I'm gunna miss seeing you guy's everyday", I say.
"Yea, everything changes now", Vic says.
"Except us, we'll always be friends", Gar says.
"Yea, always", Richard says.
