Right before this chapter starts, I have no idea how graduations work. I think in the UK the only times we have graduations is when we finish University degrees so if I get the whole style of how graduations work wrong... I apologise in advance... 

No one's POV: 

"I don't want to go" Tao whined and Kris sighed 
"Tao, we're graduating today, we have to go" he replied
"That's the thing! We're graduating and I'm worried that after this is over everyone is going to go away to University and we'll drift apart" Tao replied, making Kris frown
"What do you mean drift apart?" he asked 
"That when we all go away to our separate Universities we'll forget each other and decide to not be friends with each other anymore" Tao replied pouting and Kris sighed once again. 

"Come here" he began and pulled Tao in for a hug and Tao hugged him back 
"I think we've all experienced to much together to drift away like that don't you think?" Kris asked and Tao sighed 
"I guess so" he replied as a knock came on their door
"You ready in there?" came Xiumin's voice 
"Coming" Kris called back and broke the hug from Tao before taking his hand 
"Ready?" he asked and Tao nodded
"As I'll ever be" he replied and Kris nodded before walking out of the room to the others.

"Nervous?" Joonmyun asked, sitting next to Jongin who had turned around to look at the parents behind him 
"Just a bit" he replied and saw Joonmyun's parents in the crowd as they waved to Jongin and he waved back
"Same here" Joonmyun muttered and Jongin frowned
"Kim Joonmyun, nervous?" he asked and managed to crack a smile from said guy who nodded
"After today we're no longer students... yeah we'll be going of to University... but by then we'll be expected to be adults and we'll have to start getting ready to face the world" he explained whilst Jongin nodded.

"That's true but what you got to understand about us two is that we're Kim's and we are fighters. We never give up and even if we should act like or get ourselves into trouble, we always manage to pick ourselves up in the end... plus we're crazy and foolish" he said
"Are you sure?" Joonmyun asked 
"Well let me think about it... a boy who use to smoke, drink and bring back someone to his room every night managed to turn it all around and prove those who doubted him wrong. Then there is his goody-two-shoes cousin who knocked himself into a coma saving one of his friends even though they weren't exactly on the best of terms" Jongin said and earnt a nudge from Joonmyun 
"I am not a goody-two-shoes" he replied whilst Jongin smirked
"And I guess it's not to bad... being a Kim"...

"Hello everyone" SooMan began and the place fell silent 
"Today you join me in celebrating the class of 2014. When I look back at my time spent at this school, I think that this class will be the ones I will remember the most. Not because of the how much they have managed to academically bring to this school, or prove time and time again how they can come back and beat other school. But because of how the importance of friendship meant to these people. Everywhere I look, I see how much this year values their group of friends, treating them as family. This year alone has been challenging for everyone as have the years previously (cue people turning to look at EXO) but these people alone have proven that no matter what happens, every single one of these students manage to come together and help each other out. Proving that whilst their may be hardships in their lives, friendship is the best cure for it"....

"We've finally graduated" Baekhyun said 
"We're adults now" Chanyeol said with a look of horror on his face 
"Just because we've graduated doesn't mean we have to act like we're adults already" Kyungsoo replied
"Plus I can't really see us lot being mature... especially you Chanyeol" Chen added and whilst Chanyeol stood there glaring at Chen, everyone else began laughing 
"But we'll all remain friends right?" Tao asked 
"Of course, we've been through to much to go to University and forget each other" Luhan replied. 

"So when we go to University, we'll keep in contact?" Joonmyun asked and the others nodded
"That includes texting and emaliling"
"Whatever free time we have without studying"
"Holidays"
"And Joonmyun and Yixing's wedding"... cue everyone turning to the couple 
"When do you two plan on marrying?" Kris asked and the two shrugged their shoulders. 

"W-we haven't had a chance to plan anything yet" Yixing replied
"Well hurry up so we can buy you gifts and spoil you!" Tao shouted and the others laughed at him whilst Kris shook his head 
"Boys, come get pictures taken" Joonmyun's mum called as the boys groaned 
"You heard the woman" Joonmyun muttered and ushered the others up for pictures. 

.........

"I thought it would never end!" Chen said when the group finally escaped from pictures 
"How many did your grandparents want to take?" Sehun asked, turning to Joonmyun and Jongin 
"She likes her photo's" Jongin replied 
"Seriously, you go into her house and look at the pictures on her walls, it's like a hall of fame" Joonmyun added and Jongin nodded his head to back the point up whilst the others shook their heads. 

"So what do you guys want to do now?" Xiumin asked and the others paused... what could they do now? They had so much free time of them until they were meant to go to University... so what could they do to start their free time? 
"How about going to see a film?" Kris asked and the others nodded
"But first we'll need to change out of these robes" Kyungsoo added as Chen grinned 
"Well then, the last one to change out their robes and be at the entrance in ten minutes has to buy popcorn and drinks for everyone else" he replied, grabbing Xiumin's hand and running inside 
"Yah you cheat!" Jongin shouted and grabbed Kyungsoo's hand as he ran after them and the others quickly followed. 

"They're growing up" Joonmyun's mum said as she watched the group run inside
"Seems like only yesterday I bought Jongin home to live with us" SooMan replied 
"Going to miss him when he leaves?" 
"Oh yeah, he may have been difficult to begin with... but me and my wife have always thought of him as our son and it will forever remain that way"...
