May 27, 2000~~Clearwater, Fl

Graduation day was finally here!! Carly was finally going to be free!! She watched her best friend fussing over her hair and couldn't help but laugh, Chey was always worried about her hair. Cheyanna just shot her an ugly look. The two had been inseparable best friends since the second grade when Cheyanna's family moved to Clearwater. They were so close and spent so much time together that for thier 13th birthday thier parents redid thier rooms so they were identical, there was 2 of everything. This way no matter whose home they were in they had the comforts of home.

Cheyanna looked around the room, it was amazing in just 6 short days they'd be leaving Clearwater behind and heading for the Big Apple. She was gonna miss her rooms and all the secrets the walls held but she was ready to move on. She was just glad that she was gonna get to have the best friend that she thought of as her sister there with her every step of the way.

The next six days were filled with activities and left little time to packing. Both families were hosting graduation picnics over the weekend, and then at the end of the week there were good luck dinners Wed, Thur and Fri thrown by both families and friends. The girls had decided they'd try and get everything packed Monday and Tuesday so they wouldn't have to be bothered by it later on in the week and on Saturday they'd be on their way to New York City.

The girls were broken by thier thoughts when Carly's mom yelled up the stairs ''Would the valadictorian of the Clearwater High 2000 class please get down here so we can go!!!'' The girls rolled thier eyes thier parents had been saying corny things like that ever since the two had been named co-valadictorian.

''Coming'' they yelled. ''Lets get this over with'' Carly said. ''Thats the first good idead you've come up with all week'' Cheyanna said purposely goading her friend. Carly just stuck her toungue out at Cheyanna and the two headed downstairs with thier arms linked just like they used to do when they were younger.

May 27, 2000~~Bensonhurst, NY

''Lets go Cerillo, were gonna be late'' Micheal yelled up the Cerillo stairs

''Ay mis dios, Micheal, don't yell'' Mrs. Cerillo said as she knocked him upside the head.

''Sorry Mrs. C, it won't happen again'' Micheal promised his best friend's mom ''your not mad at me are you??''

''At you, mijo, never'' she said as she kissed him on the cheek and straightened his tie ''you've never looked more handsome mijo, I knew you could do it.''

Micheal hugged her ''Thanx, Mrs C. that means a lot to me''

''Ay dios, where is that girl?'' she said more to herself than Micheal ''Lois Cerillo hurry up and get down here!! Micheal has better things to do then wait for you all day!!'' she yelled up the stairs. ''Don't even say it Micheal'' she warned.

Micheal just smiled at her. He loved that they let him in and treated him like one of thier own. He loved them so much.

''Hey Corinthos'' Lois said as she finally came down the stairs.

''Hey Cerillo, took you long enough'' he teased.

She lightly hit his arm

''For someone who had to bribed to go to graduation your in an awful big hurry''

''Whatever Cerillo, you ready''

''Ok Mama, I'm ready to go!!'' she said to her mom.

''Let me look at you both'' Mrs C. said ''I can't believe my babies are graduating from high school and that you guys are going off to NYU. This is a day a mother looks forward to, this and your wedding. I'm so proud of you both. And I love you!!'' She kissed them both on the cheek.

''I love you mama'' Lois said

''I love you too, Mrs C.'' Micheal said

And with that they were off to graduation. Micheal couldn't believe he was graduating from high school and going to college. Not only was he going to college but he got a 6 yr full scholarship to NYU. He and Lois had wanted to be roommates but thier folks had put thier feet down and said no.

Sonny wishes his mom could be at the graduation ceremony, but she was at County General fighting for her life. His stepdad had beat her again but it was for the last time because before his mom passed out she stabbed him in the chest using the same knife he used on her killing him instantly. He was worried how she was gonna take it when she woke up. Lois looked at her best friend and felt bad for him. She knew that he was thinking about his mom and how she was gonna take the news that she killed her husband. Lois reached over and held Micheal's hand. She loved him very much and hated to see him hurting. He smiled at her grateful to have a friend like her.

''Just 6 more days and we'll be living in the city'' Micheal said

''I can't wait to meet my roommates. Hopefully they won't be to snobby since they've known each other forever'' she said

''how'd you end up with 2 roommates anyway??'' he asked

''Because we live in a suite there are 2 rooms 3 people each a kitchen and a sitting area. You would already know all this if you ever listened to me.'' she answered

''I'm sorry, what did you say?? I wasn't listening.'' he teased her.''so what are your roommates names??''

''Carly and Cheyanna'' she replied

''With names like that I can't wait to meet them either!!'' he joked

''Oh brother'' Lois said as she started to laugh. Soon Micheal joined her in laughing. It was a sound Lois's mother knew she wouldn't be hearing for awhile now that her babies were college students.
