Lewis came up on stage "So, today is the day, all you kids become adults, some of you go to college or serve for your country or go start to work. Either way I'm proud of all of you, so class of 2021, trun your tassels to the left. You are all free" Lewis said smiling
Everyone is cheering, hugging, crying, and the gang and I were doing all three. After taking pictures in and out the school everyone headed to Elizabeth's house for the graduation party.
I came to my parents to give me some advice on what I'm about to do.
"Mom, dad, do you two have any advice for me"
"Baby, before I say something can I just say, it's your decision and I know you love her and soulmates can come whenever it doesn't matter how old the both of you are" mom said smiling at me
"Thanks mom" I said hugging her
"Son, you do what you gotta do" my dad said smiling giving me a fist bump
So at Elizabeth's house it was her family, my family, our friends, and Zina and Leslie came over to join the party.
"Hey, excuse me, everyone" I said getting everyone to calm down
"Wait, Elizabeth came you come over" I said holding out my hand
She came over to grab it "Can I say that I'm happy for all of us to graduate" I said making everyone happy
"But, that's not why I'm hear in front of everyone being nervous that I'm making you all look at me" I said looking down
I took a deep breath then continued "I just wanted to say" I turned to Elizabeth "Elizabeth, we been knowing each other since we were eight years old coming from Nigeria and the United Kingdom.

I began to bend down on one knee "Elizabeth, I know you think I'm crazy for thinking about doing this a month of dating, we're both young, starting college, and having a baby. But it's not the reason I'm doing this, I'm doing this because I'm in love with you, they will be good and bad days, but we'll get through with it. I promise to treat you with respect and always be by yourside every second of the day, so Elizabeth Josephine Watson, will you marry me" I said holding her great grandparent's ring
She started to tear up "Oh my god!"
I waited for an answer and a few seconds I heard "Yes, I'll marry you"
I got up to see her in tears "You will?"
"Yes" she said in tears hugging me
Elizabeth's POV
Holden just proposed to me, I can't believe it, I'm getting married. Everyone was cheering and I'm just happy that best friend that I been in love with just proposed to me, infront of friends and family.
"Oh my God the babies" Selena said in tears hugging the both of us
