Graduation 2020

The graduation ceremony of 2020 ended with happiness in the air and gifts being handed to one another.

Jinel and her best friend Nicole asked their parents “Where’s ours?” Jinel’s dad changed the subject…he exclaimed, “How do you girls feel about graduating high school?” Both Nicole and Jinel replied,” Pretty good, but even better if you guys had given us a gift like the other parents had.

Since they met in pre-school the girls had been very close friends and grew up with each other. They treat each other like sisters and each family treats each as family! After the ceremony and all, both families went to The California Pizza Kitchen for dinner. The families finished dinner and had some delicious, warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice-cream on topped with chocolate drizzle and a cherry on top! They enjoyed their dessert, and both fathers handed a nice, big purple envelope to each of their graduates! Nicole and Jinel opened it in seconds and were thrilled!

Inside was a plane ticket to Paris, France and a brochure of a tour of Europe! In the envelope there was a map of Europe as long as everything else needed to go with their trip. It was their dream to go to Europe together.

Their trip to Europe was going to start in a week, it was about mid-May they were leaving and they had about three weeks to spend together in Europe!

“Three more days till Europe!” bragged Jinel to her younger brother. Jinel asked him if he was going to miss her while she was away for about a month, he didn’t answer he was quite happy that his sister was leaving! Jinel and Nicole both have younger brothers in ninth grade. Nicole is a talker, but Jinel is a quiet, shy 18 year old.

Jinel started to pack her things and felt like she had emptied her room. O...

...y saw Brad Pitt’s wax sculpture! They were so glad they got to see him! Nicole was confused and asked Jinel why there were two sculptures. They compared each of them and touched one. One flinched and put out his hand. They shouted, “Brad Pitt is in London” They cried with happiness and hugged him! He told them it was supposed to be a secret for them! The girls got to spend the rest of the day with him and the next three days! They had an amazing time and even better when he was with them! They went to dinner and went out for the last three days of their journey. He was told to go home with them; in fact Nicole and Jinel got to go in his private jet back home! Both girls refused to go back home. They loved there trip to Europe and London! They say, “There is nothing better than a trip to another country with your best friend and meeting your favorite celebrity!”
