"So where are ya'll going to college?" I asked Regan and Tiffany curiously one April afternoon on Tiffany's back porch. Regan and I had made up since New Year's and were getting along better than we ever had, which was kind of strange because I thought we got along really well before the argument.
"Well," Regan began. "I'm going to the University of Tennessee. My Dad said he went there back in the day and he wanted me to go there too."
"I'm going the BYU Idaho." Tiffany said. "But I'll be starting the winter semester, which doesn't really bother me all that much, I just want to get away for awhile and this is the way to do it. Especially since Jesse is working on that movie and about to go on tour for his new cd."
"Where are you going?" Regan asked me.
"NYU."
"Shut up!" They both yelled at me at the same time and I nodded.
"Yeah. I got in. I was super surprised that I would get in."
"Well, you are definately the most studious out of all of us." Tiffany told me. "You're always prepared and in control of things; Like Corey. You've kept your cool this whole time and I'm very proud of you. You're definately one of the strongest people I know."
"Thank you." I told her and gave her a hug.
"I'm serious, though. If I were in your situation a few months back, I wouldn't know what to do."
I smiled. "I don't know how I did it either."
"So what are you going for?" Regan asked.
"Business... and some music industry stuff. I want to have my own record label, even if that means having to work for one in the beginning." I told them and smiled. "Oh! I could so work for 3CG!"
"Oh. Hanson!" I heard Teddy exclaim as he walked up behind us. "What are we talking about?"
"College plans." Regan told him.
"And where are you guys going?" He asked curiously.
"Well, Tiff is going to BYU Idaho. Regan is going to the University of Tennessee." I told him.
"And you?"
"NYU." I smiled and he raised his eyebrows.
"Nice. What are you going for?"
"I want to be able to eventually have my own record label. So whatever it takes to get to that point. Even if I have to work for one along the way." I informed them all again.
"Well then you can sign me when you have your own." He smiled and sat down beside me. "When is graduation?"
"May." We all chorused at the same time.
- - - - - - - - - - -
"One week! One week! One week!" Tiffany chanted as she skipped down the hallway towards where I was standing by my locker. "We graduate in... ONE WEEK!"
I laughed at her as I shut my locker. "So are we having some kind of little shin dig for just you, me, Regan, and Teddy next weekend or what?"
"Well, my parents are grilling out and we're going to get a cake and stuff. Oh! We could do it all at your house and swim. Fun!" She sounded excited. "Is Teddy going to be back for graduation?"
Teddy had yet again gone to do more promotional work for his cd. I wasn't too thrilled, just like I wasn't too thrilled when I found out he had made out with Kristin Cavallari from that stupid Laguna Beach show, and I actually fought with him over it.
It sounded stupid now, but I didn't think it was then. I wanted him to be back, I always felt like him being away so much was a strain on our relationship, and even though I wanted to be with him more than anything, I felt like it would be better to just be friends, but I couldn't do it. I was way too in love with him for that.
"I actually don't know." I told them as I hugged my books to my chest. "I mean, he says he will be, but who knows?"
"Aww. I'm sorry. I hope he is. I love seeing you two together. It makes me happy inside because you deserve him. He's really good to you."
"Yeah." I nodded in agreement as we made our way to lunch.
I had decided to call Teddy during lunch, so I went to the bathroom to call him. I didn't get an answer even though the phone rang and rang for what seemed like eternity.
"Hey its me. I was just seeing what you were up to... give me a call whenever you get this I guess. See ya." I left the message and then turned my phone off.
"Did you not get him?" Tiff asked as I returned to the table and I shook my head.
"Sometimes I wonder what exactly he's doing that's so important that he can't answer the phone when I call."
- - - - - - - - - -
*Day of Graduation*
It was three hours until graduation and I had yet to hear anything from Teddy. I was getting worried. I called him about a dozen times before I finally just gave up. I got in the shower and began getting ready to head back to the school.
It was down to ten minutes until graduation and no one had heard anything from Teddy or his parents. Jesse hadn't heard anything, and I thought for sure he had. I tried calling him one last time before I finally just gave up and turned my phone off.
"Still no Tedster?" Regan asked and I shook my head. "He'll be here. It's his own high school graduation for crying out loud!"
"I don't know. He would've called or something." I was getting so worried that I was now chewing my nails off.
Regan grabbed my hand and pulled it out of my mouth. "Stop eating your fingers. He'll be here."
"Everybody! You need to get in line according to your rank! We'll be walking in shortly!" One of the class sponsors called as I made my way to stand between numbers thirty-nine and forty-one. I was proud of being number forty, considering there were 300 kids in my class. Teddy was forty-two, but he still wasn't here.
Everyone grew silent as a teacher began explaining something about walking in. "Make sure you watch where you are going. Girls, your heels will sink in the grass." She told us since we were having it out on the football field. Everyone began talking again as she began talking to someone coming in late. I couldn't make out what she was saying to them, but it was obviously funny since some of the kids were laughing. "Get in line," She laughed. "Now, if you throw your hats, make sure you take the tassel off first. Otherwise you'll lose it."
Blah, blah, blah. Hey there's Teddy. Oh my gosh. He actually made it. "Why haven't I heard anything from you?" I knew I sounded pissed.
"I'm sorry. My phone has been dead all week." He apologized. "I left the charger here, and I couldn't get one for my phone where we were.... something about they weren't in stock."
I just stared at him blankly. I was mad, and I didn't know what to say to that.
"I really am sorry," He pleaded as the line in front of me began to move. His eyes looked sad, and it almost made me want to cry, but I had to pay attention to where I was walking and the tears would only distort my vision.
All of my friends were now graduated. I felt so good that I had finally accomplished something so great. It felt amazing to know I never had to walk down the super crowded hallways ever again. I went out to eat afterwards with my parents and then made my way up to my room and kicked off the heels I had been wearing for five hours. My feet hurt to say the least.
I flipped on the light and noticed that there was a bouquet of daiseys on my dresser, a bouquet of red roses on my nightstand, and pedals on my bed spelling out 'I love you. - Ted.'
I put my hand over my mouth slightly as I fought tears. There was a knock at my door and I looked up as he entered. He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me as I started to cry. "I'm sorry for being such a biotch to you." I told him.
"Shh. Don't worry about it."
"No. I was a complete jerk and you just stood there and took it." I told him.
"Its ok."
"So what are all the flowers for?" I asked him as I searched my drawers for something else to change into.
"Well, the daiseys are because I'm proud of you. And the roses are because I love you." He told me as I began changing right there in front of him. "You're not going to go in the bathroom to change or anything?"
I shook my head as I pulled a pair of dark blue sweat pants and a t-shirt on. "Nope. I love you too." I told him as I layed down next to him on the bed.
"I want to spend the rest of my life with you." He told me and I sat up on my elbows to look at him.
"You're sure of that?"
He nodded. "When I first saw you I said to myself. 'I like her.' I hadn't even talked to you yet, but I liked you. Then when I got to know you and all your issues you had at the time, I said 'I'm going to marry her an be with her for the rest of my life no matter what it takes.' You mean everything to me."
I was a little shocked. We hadn't even known each other for a whole year yet and he was so sure of everything. I smiled at him.
"I got you a ring." He told me and I raised my eyebrows. "It's not an engagement ring, but it's a promise ring." He pulled out a simple ring with a silver band with one sapphire on it as the "rock". "You're not saying anything..."
"I'm just kind of in shock." I told him as I held out my hand. He put the ring on my finger and I laid my head back down on his chest to listen to his heartbeat. "I love listening to your heart."
"Why?" He laughed at me.
"Because it's calming. It makes me feel safe."
"Well," He began. "You'll always be safe when I'm around."
I smiled as I wrapped my arm around his waist and let my now heavy eyelids close and take me off to sleepy land.
Ok... So what do ya'll think? Cheesy? Yes? No? Maybe a little?? Let me know...
