Friday: May 28th, 1999

One of the most important days of a person life is definitely graduation, for Debbie she couldn't be happier that this day has finally come.

She woke up early this morning as she couldn't sleep the night before, thinking back over the last four years at East Great Falls. All the highs and lows she's faced while being a student, but the good moments between her friends definitely outweigh's that.

Debbie stood in front of her mirror applying some lip gloss, and fixing up her hair. Then put on her gold graduation gown over her dress, and smiled lastly putting her cap on.

She noticed her dad standing in the door way, Debbie turned around and smiled at him.

"So Dad, what do you think?" Debbie Asked

"You look beautiful Debs," He approached her, and held her hand, "You ready?" Peter Said, as Debbie nodded her head.

"Yeah, all that hard work of sleepless nights and studying is finally about to pay off." Debbie Said

"Well good because since you've been working your butt off these past four years, I have a gift for you." Peter Said

"A gift for me?" Debbie Said

"Well we have a gift for you." Peter Said

The door opens and in came Carla hiding something behind her back, with a smile on her face.

"Mom, Dad what did you buy?" Debbie Asked

"Something we know you'll definitely love." Carla replied

She moved her arms forward to reveal a red leather box, with the name label Cartier on it. Carla handed the box over to her daughter, and once Debbie opened it up her eyes lit up at the Cartier Love
18K rose gold bracelet.

"No way." Debbie gasped

"Yes way." Peter Said, nodding.

"You guys actually bought me the bracelet?!" Debbie Said, excitedly.

"Yep we've been saving up for months to get you that." Carla Said

"And we said we'll definitely buy it once your final grades came in, once we saw you passed with flying colors..your mother and I went straight to the jewelry store." Peter Chimed in

"Plus we know you've always wanted a bracelet like that ever since you saw it in a magazine, so we think giving it to you as a graduation present is the best possible way." Carla Said

"You guys are the best thank you for this," She brings her parents for a group hug, "I love you guys." Debbie Said

"We love you too Debs." Peter Said, then kissed her temple.

"Hurry and put it on before we go." Carla Said

"Yeah right." Debbie Said

She carefully took the bracelet out the box and put it on, Debbie smiled admirably looking at the beautiful jewelry around her wrist and once again hugged her parents.

"Okay now, let's go graduate." Debbie smiled
