She'd done it. She had really done it. Graduation happened and she was a 'legal adult' now. The petite teenage flopped on the bed of her room in her parents home and just closed her eyes. Shew as still in her graduation gown. Mommy and daddy hadn't shown up, no real surprise there. They were usually too busy for her. But at least they sent the maid to drop off her brand new graduation car! It's not like it was a decent substitute for them, but hey, she could now drive around Destiny City in something she owned. The title was in her name, the paper work done, the first year of insurance was paid for so all she had to do was keep up with gas and engine work, she supposed.

Sighing heavily, she sat up on her bed and yanked that ugly blue gown off. Despite the uniform being adorable, they had dreadful taste in fabrics for this gown. Still, she pulled it into her lap, thumbed the material that was basically all synthetic and gave a little smile. She had good memories at that school. It was going to be weird come May when school was back in but she wasn't going. She wouldn't see the people she called friends anymore. Not every day like she was used to.

Getting off her bed, she took the hanger and hung that graduation gown back up, putting it in the clear plastic and hung it up on the back of her door. Now dressed in a short skirt and tank top, she put her hands behind her back and just turned on her heel to look around. Books she bought for school scattered everywhere, note books full of math, science, history... Sketch books, pens and pencils scattered her study desk. Biting down on her bottom lip, Serenity moved over to tidy up. Things were going to be different.

There wouldn't be any need to rush out of the door at seven AM anymore, she could enjoy summer to it's fullest at the beach, enjoying it with the other graduates who realized they could stay longer. In the back of her mind she wondered if that meant the parties were going to be more wild. With that in her head, she smirked and ran her fingers over the Year Book and shrugged. It was too early to reminisce, she thought to herself. Graduation only happened a few hours ago. She flopped back on her bed and just sighed heavily, grinning from ear to ear. She could nap now if she wanted to. With her exhausting day of nerves and her diploma with the butler to be framed, Serenity was heavily considering it. Rolling to her side, her eyes slipped closed and she just let her body go lax. With the warm evening sun beaming down on her through her window, she fell into a very happy, content sleep.
