“Bella Brooke Bailey, Summa c*m Laude and the youngest graduate to date.” the graduation reader announced, and loud cheers erupted.
Bella walked up the stage blushing under the applauses of her family and friends. She shook the hand of the Dean of Science, took her degree, and raised it up in the air looking at her personal cheerleaders.
It was as if there was a competition on who would cheer Bella the loudest. Her parents were over the moon, Ash was screaming and clapping hard. Dean and Taylor were clapping and laughing, Charlotte was jumping up and down. Everyone was applauding and shouting her name.
Bella felt so blessed to be standing here. Six days ago, she was almost killed… And she was grateful to be here today. She looked up the sky, having a silent thought for her friend Celia.
