Look at you!

[Speed Stark]

Speed sat quietly in his seat, his back straight, his hands in his lap. He had never been to a graduation before, so this was quite fascinating, there were so many people here in one room, to reminded him of a giant sale at Myers. Being home-schooled meant that he was not used to so many students, this also meant that he had no idea how to react in a graduation setting, he would have asked Cameron, but he snuck out of the house without telling anyone where he was going, he knew if Cam had seen him, he would have thrown him back inside his room for 'sneaking out', even though it was broad daylight and Speed was eighteen, he was still tried like he was five. He was not sure why he was treated in such a way, it was probably Stephanie's doing, but right now was not the time to think about his treatment, it was Mickki Mouse's big day, she was gradutating! It was simply amazing, in all honesty, Speed thought she was going to buckle under the pressure of school, since she used to be home-schooled as well. BUt no, she had proven his inner fears wrong and was now standing tall, ready to get her diploma, she looked so happy. Her smile was bright and it made Speed smile too, he had never seen her smile so brightly in her life, that was when he realised that he was crying slightly from happiness, he shrugged, he always was a little dramatic, why would now be any different?

Speed stood up and cheered happily when Mikayla had her diploma in her hands, but he soon blushed when he realised that no-one else was cheering for her, so basically, he was the only person standing, waving his arms and hooting like a maniac, he laughed nervously and sat down quietly, obviously that was not the norm for spectators at a graduation. He didn't know why, he thought that everyone should be cheering on the students, they should be allowing tears to streak down their happy faces, and who didn't like cheering? It was just ridiculous. When everyone else got their diplomas, Speed jumped off his seat and bolted to Mikayla, dodging other people carefully, and when he stood in front of her, he beamed proudly. "I am so proud!" He exclaimed, ignoring annoyed looks from other people. He pulled Mikayla into a big bear-hug and sniffled slightly, trying to stop himself from starting to cry again, he didn't want his face to get red and blotchy, that would just be disgusting. "How do you feel Miss I've Graduated?" He asked, releasing her and putting his hands on his hips, still beaming as if her graduation was all his doing, which was kind of true, since he had helped keep her sane and happy.​

 

[Mikayla Blade]

Mikayla couldn't believe she was actually here. In a Graduation ceremony, recieveing her Diploma and watching on helplessly as Speed made a complete fool of himself. He was jumping up and down like a maniac, waving his arms around like he was stuck on a deserted island. He was even crying. Was he at a funeral that she didn't know about and she had just randomly walked into it? It was very embarrassing. Mikki felt her head fall as she tried to pretend that she had no idea what was going on and that her guest was actually being normal. However it was becoming alittle more difficult the more shouting he continued to do. Was he trying to kill her? Did he not love her anymore? Did he think she needed some embarrassent in her life? Was she that desperate that she needed to have a friend as embarrassing as Speed attending her Graduation? Answer, Yes, yes she was. And the more she thought anout it the more she decided that next time he was most definately not coming. She sighed and slumped even lower in her seat. She was attempting to hide from the looks of the other Graduates and Guests, but somehow everyone seemed to know who she was. Even the people she had never met. Which was kind of freaking her out. Why was this happening to her. She hadn't done anything bad. Yet. It was all Speed's fault, he was the one being ridiculous and stupid. She sighed. The girl sitting next to her was staring at her, as if she was some kind of animal in the zoo, or even a freak in the freakshow. She was not happy that she was in this situation, but what could she do. She had invited him after all. Though now she severely regretted it. Mikayla leaned over to the girl. "I don't know him." She whispered as she looked up at Speed again. The girl rolled her eyes. She obviously didn't believe Mikki. Mikki sighed. Well guess i better get this over with. She thought to herself as she stood up with the other Graduates and looked around in the crowd to find Speed. Who had suddenly disappeared.

Mikki sighed when she saw him barreling over people and chairs to find her. She couldn't believe he had this kind of personality. No wonder he was always getting into trouble. Maybe she should have invited Chase. Atleast he wouldn't have screwed up her Graduation. He was in jail. Kind of makes it hard. She stopped where she was standing ande plastered a smile on her face she Speed finally reached her. She just wanted him to hurry up and calm down so that she wouldn't have to slap him. On second thought. Mikayla brought her hand up and slapped it across his face. He had threatened to do the same to her only a couple of days ago so he deserved it. Afterall, what else was going to calm the overly hysterical boys emotions. "Speedy! Shut up! For Merlin's sake!" She yelled and cringed as all eyes turned to her. She was just making things even more awkward. She sighed. Why did she have to be addicted to his personality? What kind of a personality was it anyway? An overly high fairy? That was on the pixie dust too much? She wondered as she thought about an old joke made between her and Speed. This was being so ridiculous. "Your proud? Speed, I did all the hard work. You did nothing. You took naps. Your not even the people that gave birth to me. What kind of role have you played at all in my life?" She asked as she punched him softly. Though it was slightly harder than she normally did, to ward off any return attacks. After all. Fists ran deep in his family. He could punch pretty hard. "Well, to be honest, I don't feel all that different. I mean, Im still the same Mikayla Blade I used to be. Ain't no changing that, no matter how hard I try. Though I guess I have gotten over wanting to get revenge for Chase, that's kind of a lost cause, but between you and me, I still blame that b!tch Melodie Lowe for all this and I swear she won't get away with it." She admitted to her best and only true friend. If she had to become a DeathEater to achieve her goal. Than so be it. That was just the way it ws gonna be.​

 

[Speed Stark]

Speed glared slightly when Mikayla slapped him, he should have seen it coming, he had threatened to slap her for being stupid and depressing, so she would naturally slap him for being embarrassing and bubbly, it was just how their friendship worked. "Well then, I guess you don't want your present..." He said shrugging, pulling out two necklaces, he saw them in the store and fell hopelessly in love with them, they were so cute he couldn't resist, he had to buy them. "I'm bacon though, you can be egg." He added. "Since I'm tall, like bacon, and you're... you know... yellow." He added, poking his tongue at her playfully. He then nodded. "Yes, I am very proud, you were only up there because of me, we both know that I am very awesome and that you would have failed at everything if it weren't for me, don't lie, Miss Blade, we both know I'm totally awesome." He said smuggly, putting the bacon necklace around his own neck and putting the egg necklace on Mikayla's hand, he really did love the necklaces, now he had his eyes open for peanutbutter and jelly friendship necklaces, apparently they were super cute too. He rolled his eyes. "I don't just nap, sometimes I eat and walk around, and I talk too, so napping isn't my only talent, you don't give me enough credit!" He accused, pulling Mikayla with him to a quieter place in the room, since they were attracting a lot of attention from Mikayla's outbursts and Speed's theatrics, he thought it best to move away from the crowd. "Anyway, down to my role in your drab life... I obviously played the awesome best friend that is trusted and much loved, how couldn't you tell?" He joked. He knew that her life was not 'drab', but he decided that he would play with her a bit, she was sure to slap him again, but he was prepared this time.

Speed nodded at her confession, he had always supported her crusade to get revenge for her brother, he was her best friend, it was his job to give her support, he wasn't about to say that she was crazy and throw her out, so he always gave her a hug and reassured her. "Well... for one day, lets just forget Ms. Melodie Lowe, today is too great to mention such names, it's like saying death on christmas, it juust isn't right." He said with a small nod. "So what are your plans? Where are you staying now? Have you spoken to your dad?" He asked, he knew that Mikayla was not exactly president of her fathers fan club, so he was worried that she had no-where to go, where would she live if her father said no, on the street? Speed shook his head slightly to throw away the thought, there was no way in Hell that he was going to allow his best friend to live on the street, that was just plain wrong. "If you have no where to stay, you're welcome to stay with me at Cams place, he won't mind, and even if he does, we can just throw him out!" He said laughing slightly at Cam's face if Mikayla randomly showed up at the front door expecting to stay, he'd probably blame Austiin for Speed's behaviour, Austiin was always to blame when things went wrong in the house, considering they were usually his fault.
