You smiled as Mark walked up to you, holding your degree. He came up to you with a huge grin on his face.
"Hey (Y/N)." He said.
"You fucking bastard." You muttered, wiping tears from your face. "You said that you couldn't come."
"Well, I wanted to surprise you." He said, setting the degree down on the podium. "And don't even get me started on what I had to do in order to make this happen."
You shook your head and threw yourself into his arms. You hugged him and he hugged you back. You looked into his eyes, your lips just inches away.
"Thanks for coming." You said.
"I wouldn't miss this moment for the world." He said. He then kissed you and you slowly sink into the kiss. It was like you two were the only people in the world. You forgot about all of the people watching at that moment. All you cared about was that Mark was here.
"I think this belongs to you." He said, breaking out of your embrace for a brief moment in order to hand you your diploma.
"Yep. That's mine." You said.
"Heartwarming." The principal said. "Okay. Who's next?"
Putting an arm around your waist, Mark walked you backstage where Bob and Wade were waiting.
"Best reaction ever." Wade said, putting his phone in his pocket.
"Did you film the entire thing?" You asked.
"Of course I did." He said. "You should've seen your face."
"Oh, I'll see it later." You said, rolling your eyes and guessing that he was going to send it to you later. "But it's been a while since I've seen you guys. How have you been doing?"
"Good." Bob said. "I would ask you the same thing but the giant grin on your face already tells me enough."
You rolled your eyes once more and said, "You guys should come to my Grad party."
"Grad party?" Wade said. "Oh, I don't know."
"Come on!" You begged. "Fangirls will flip their shit! Plus, you guys are awesome friends! You'll be the life of the party!"
"I haven't been to a good party in a while." Bob said. "Count me in."
"You know I'll be there." Mark said.
"Then I guess I'm in too." Wade said, shrugging. "I would be a real fun sucker if I didn't go."
"No kidding." You said. "Well, I gotta get back on stage. I'll text you guys the details and I'll see you later."
You kissed Mark on the cheek and as you walking back to your spot, you heard Mark screaming, "Shut up Wade!" and struggled to hold in laughter as you heard it.
