Tear drops on my Balance Beam
Chapter Two: Graduation Day
____________________________
The day passed by for the graduating trio. Vito and Manitoba had privately traveled to the college. By bus of course. Though it was loud and rambly in the small vehicle, all students were excited, and obviously wouldn't shut up.
Once at the large college known as Southwest University, each student was given a decretive cap and gown. All girls put their gowns over luxurious dresses while the guys put their's over suits and dress shirts. Even Manitoba took off his signature fedora to put on his cap. Vito turned out to be the only one not to put on his gown..
"It's a dress!" He complained. "I'm not puttin' on no dress!"
"It's not really a dress." His brother corrected. "Actually a gown."
"Excactly. A gown is a dress!"
Manitoba sighed and helped his brother with his 'dress' since he was fed up with his antics. He ripped the baggy sleeves and the long bottom to make a shirt. Which was stylish and at least tolerable.
"Now that's more like it!" Vito replied while flexing his muscles, which made Manitoba roll his eyes in annoyance.
"Yo, Anne Maria!"
Just like that, a tall, dark skimmed girl with puffy hair came out from a crowd of kids. She was wearing her snug fitting gown and holding her cap tightly in her colored fingers. The tanned female squealed in delight and hugged her man.
"Ooh, Vito!" She cooed . "You look HOT!"
Vito smirked and kissed Anne Maria on the lips.
"You too, babe." He replied.
Soon, the simple kisses turned into a full make out session. Some people moved to give them privacy while some (all guys) gave Vito a thumbs up. Anne Maria might not've been the brightest star in the sky, but she was attractive. It would be a blessing just to be able to kiss her.
While watching the two lovebirds suck face, Manitoba became a bit envious.
Which never really happened.
Why did Vito get all the girls, he thought. All the dimwitted girls on campus would drool over him and literally beg him to do them. Its all about his looks, and the fact that he rarely wore a shirt.
But why not Manitoba? The two were basically twins. They looked the same, so why didn't the fearless adventurer get a girl? At least one could've been nice, maybe two. He grimaced. Vito has to get them all..
"Weak females..." He spat in his mind. "Only concerned about looks, and not any brains. Always crying and whining like children for things they want. We men are stronger than they'll ever be."
Manitoba's thoughts were interrupted when the intercom on the campus squeaked and boomed. Making everyone stop and stare, even Anne Maria and Vito stopped their make out session to look up.
"All graduates report to the garden entrance for graduation ceremony."
The students literally screamed in excitement. They all walked out of that one campus building and headed to the building.
Manitoba trailed behind his brother. Only looking to the future.
------------------------1-----------
Svetlana pulled the last zipper on her dress, and put on her shoes, then looked in her mirror.
The dress she was wearing was a turquoise color. It fit well in her slim body, and showed a sign of glow. It was cupped around her rather large chest and ended above her knees. The dress also had matching heels that were the same color.
Svetlana put her usual makeup on her delicate face. Which included maskara, lipstick, and eye liner.
She gazed at her appearance. she noticed the glow of her eyes,the tightness of her figure, the tone of her legs.
She smiles and twirls in front of the mirror.
"*sigh* This is it, Mr.Snuggles." She told her loving bear. "I'm graduating."
Svetlana picks up her childhood toy and cuddles it in her soft arms.
"Wish me luck."
"Svetlana! Time to go!" Penelope called from the lower floor.
The young female nodded and headed down the stairs. After getting a compliment from her mother, the two headed to the university. Before Svetlana went to meet her classmates, her mother put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"You did a very good job this year, Svetlana! Make me proud, Sweetheart!"
The mothers daughter smiled and headed out to the ceremony building.
She was given a cap and gown. Then instructed by her teachers to line up.
The same thing happened with Manitoba. His classmates lined up right next to the garden, just as the music started.
The kids in his school were walking to get their diplomas. Mr. Hemple was the master of cermony. While Mrs. Tryrate was Svetlana's headmistress.
"Manitoba Smith." Mr.Genome boomed into the microphone.
A pang of Excitement shot up Manitoba's spine. He steadying walked up to the podium to receive his paper. The crowd cheered relentlessly as he walked off and stood next to the other students.
"Vincent "Vito" Smith." the master said again.
Some university kids snickered and tried not to laugh, but was doing a lousy job at it. Vito groaned and rolled his eyes. He hated when people called him "Vincent". To him, it wasn't as manly or as cool as the name "Vito" would sound.
The student rushed up the stairs and gladly took his diploma while the teachers gave him, "The look". He sneered happily and fist pumped as the student cheered louder for him."
Just as the boys left, Svetlana was so close to get her certificate.
"Susie Q. Esther." Mrs. tryrate properly uttered. "Next, Svetlana Danielle Redger."
Svetlana grinned and easily took her slip. She also gave Mrs. Tryrate a respectful handshake and bow.
Once she stood back in her assigned spot.
As if on cue, both head master and head mistress had just started their speeches.
"Hello students of Melissa Tryrates school for the arts. As you know, I am Mrs. Tryrate, founder and president of this school.."
"Good morning students, welcome to the graduation ceremony of Vancouver University. I am Mr. Leonard Hemple, head master."
Both teachers continue to talk, it's as if they had written the same speech.
"Today is the day of celebration. The day of flashers. The day to celebrate the achievements if these young people and their goals to complete their education. You have all worked so hard these few years, and I have to say, congratulations..you have completed the first step of your life. Next, acheiving your goals. Become who you want to be! see what you want to see! Do whatever it takes to follow your dreams. Whether it's climbing MT. Everest.."
Manitoba smiled.
"..To winning a gold medal in the olympics.."
Svetlana smiled.
"You are your own person. Don't spend your time morphing into someone elses shadow. You have a long life to live, don't waste it by doing something you don't want to do. You students are young and healthy enough to fulfill your life and enjoy it to the fullest! Live everyday like it's your last, never lose hope to what you truly believe in. You are all Individuals, and entering the world
In our own pint of view. Now i present to you, class of 2015, graduating class!"
Each group of graduates rejoice and throw their caps into the air. Screaming hysterically and jumping around like jitter bugs.
Manitoba, Vito, and Svetlana were so enthusiastic to start the rest of their lives. Now they were officially adults, and able to do whatever they wanted to. Even though they were all in different places.
While Manitoba was talking to a few of his friends, his brother literally dragged him from his group.
"Bro, C'mon! Tasha Wilkson is throwing an after party and we were invited! Let's go!"
The twins run with the others to Tasha Wilkson's mansion. Fortunately, Tasha is the most popular girl on campus, you'd be a legend if you were invited to her party.
Sadly, Manitoba wasn't really a party person. So he just sat around and nibbled on a few snacks. He didn't really want to dance. Though the music was pumping, lights were flashing, and people were drinking left and right. Well, Vito the mostly. He was a little drunk after being in three beer chugging contests. After a while, the party was still a little intense and going in strong. Suddenly, Tasha, the rich brunnete of the hour, noticed Manitoba and walked over to him.
"Hey, aren't you enjoying the party?" She asks while taking a seat next to him.
"Yeah.." Manitoba answered wearily. "I'm not much of a party person."
"Aw, well you need to get up ! Dance! Sing! Go insane!" She tugged on his arm with each word.
"*sigh* no thanks."
Tasha frowned, but finally perked up.
"Wait, aren't you Vito's twin brother?"
The male nods.
"You look like you need a close friend." She wrote on a piece of paper and handed it to Manitoba. "Give me a
Call some time."
As Tasha walked away, she made a phone sign with her hands ad mouthed "Call me."
Manitoba smiled as the rich girl walked away.
_______________
Svetlana enjoyed her after party at her friend Dakota's Country club. She was just as rich as Tasha was, only she was able to afford to buy the whole country club.
Sadly, Svetlana wasn't much of a party person eaither. She just sat and watched as all of the grads celebrated. Dakota started to notice and approached her friend.
"Hey Svetlana, aren't you having fun?"
"I am Dakota, I'm just not much of a party person."
"Hmm, I think i can fix that!"
It only took Dakota a few moments to find a certain person and drag him back to the table where Svetlana was sitting.
"Svetlana, this is my cousin, Reginald. He's very good at parties and a proper gentlemen." Dakota said
As she introduced a handsome pale, male with jet black hair and a buff body.
"Hello, Svetlana! Dakota has told me all about you!" Reginald greets the girl by kissing her hand. "Would you like to meet me on the dance floor?"
Svetlana blushed and rubbed her kissed hand.
"Sure." She replied.
Reginald walked off while Svetlana and Dakota sqeeeeed together.
"Thanks Dakota!"
"Go get him, Svetlana!"
The gymnast runs off to catch her new friend. She smiles as her and Reginald head to the dance floor.
So far, this was a pretty good graduation...
