Chatper 3 The Graduation
Aliza Thoughts
When we arrive, I am second guessing if I should attend. I can't miss this, this is something everyone should experience in there lives. My mother turns to me "Are you sure you can do this? I don't want anything to happen to you my love." I give her a smile and touch her hand " Mother I am okay I can do this. I can't wait to walk down the stage and be done with this place and move to bigger and better things." She nods her head in understanding and kisses my hand " Okay sweetie I understand, but as soon as you don't feel right please come to us so we can help you okay." I promised and me, Alexis, David, and Shaun exit the vehicle to join all the other graduates.
Alexis enterwinds her arm with mine and asks in a low tone " Liza was it the vision you have been seeing?" I nod my head and shush her " Calm down with that talk Alex we will talk later. But I do have a favor." She replies "Anything." I let out a deep breathe and say calmly "If I should look like I am about to fall.. Please don't let me." She smiles and replies "Of course."
We get to the main gym where all the graduates were meeting at before the walk on the stage. Shaun grabs my hand and says happily "Can you belive it babe? We are actually here. I can't wait until we get to college and get to the next step in our lives." I look down with a smile and stay silent as he led me to our seats. I know he wants to ask me to marry him, but I have to figure out my roots before I can go and start roots with someone, but he doesn't understand that. Which makes me sad because that will be the reason that I break up with him tonight at the party. We get to our seats and we start to take selfies and graduation videos.
The principle announces on the microphone " It is about time to start calling names, please students get to your seats and wait to be called by your last name. David Shaun and Alexis last names were close enough to mine that we were able to switch seats around and not get noticed. As the gym emptied I start to feel this heavy weight on my chest and it was starting to get very hard to breathe and it seemed like the heat was turned up inside this place. Alexis looks at me and already knew something was happening she tells Shaun to switch seats so she ask me something, but to my avail I did not make it.. Darkness engulfed my vision and I would be the one to faint during the ceremony.
Next thing I woke up in the hospital with everyone around me. My mother is sitting next to me with my hand in hers and my father is talking to the doctor. "Sweetie you gave us a scare. We had to bring you to doctor to see what is wrong with you." My mouth is so dry I can't even respond so I just nod to her. "Your friends went to get something to eat they should be back anytime soon. Are you hungry or thirsty sweetie?" I cough out "Yes to both please." She smiles and exits my room, Alexis comes in right after "Liza we are so worried about you." I smile to see she brought me some ice water and take a big gulp. "Do my parents know what is going on with me? Have the doctors said anything?" She nods her head no " I don't know anything right now, but I can imagine they will be in soon to ask you questions since your awake. I saw you were getting overheated and about to faint, and I was not fast enough to catch you I am sorry." I say with a sore tone " It is not your fault hopefully the doctors will find out what is wrong with me. Did my parents cancel the party?" My mother walks in and answers my question " No darling if you think you can handle a party we will still allow it, but only if you are sure." I reply softly "Mother can I ask you a question?" I can see her facial change and it made me feel very uneasy.
