BRUTAL—OLIVIA RODRIGO
I’m late to my own graduation.
With a quiet grunt, I scuttle past the people sitting in the last row and sit
in the first empty seat I see, trying not to make eye contact with anyone in
the process. This is definitely not my designated seat or even my designated
row, but it’ll have to do for the time being.
Somewhere near the front of the room, my best friend is most certainly
staring me down for an explanation, but there’s no way to explain my late
arrival across a crowded auditorium. Instead, as soon as I’m settled, I take
my phone out and go to shoot her a text, only to realize there’s six already
waiting for me.
Evie Khodabux: bro where are you
Evie Khodabux: you know graduation started *checks watch* uhhhh ten
minutes ago right
Evie Khodabux: LIANAAAAAAA WHERE ARE YOUUUUU
Evie Khodabux: liana bibi sarkar,,,,,,
Evie Khodabux: I swear to god if you don’t text me back,,, the next time I see
you will be at your funeral <3
Evie Khodabux: are you seriously going to ditch graduation??? YOU SHOULD
HAVE TOLD ME??? I WOULD HAVE DITCHED WITH YOU WTF
Me: omg STOP I DIDN’T SEE THESE I’M SORRY I’M NOT DITCHING SFKLJSFKLJ
Me: DON’T KILL ME IT WASN’T MY FAULT MY DAD DID IT
Me: tldr: as always his job comes first at all times, up to and including the day
of his only child’s graduation l o l
I tuck my phone under my thigh and resist the urge to sigh. I don’t know
what I even expected. My dad’s never on time these days, but I thought
today might be the one day he would at least try.
My fingers snag in the purple material of my graduation gown, and the
guy beside me casts a wary look in my direction before scooting over for
good measure. He’s kind of familiar but also not. He might have been in my
AP Psych class during junior year. Who knows.
It’s not like any of this matters. It’s been three years since my mother
died—and three years since my father and I picked up everything and
moved from New York to Los Angeles. So even though I’m friendly with a
lot of the people in my high school, the only person I really latched on to
enough to call my friend since moving—my very best friend—is Evie, and I
wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s the only one whose opinion of me
will still matter once this ceremony ends.
If Evie were beside me, she’d remind me a good percentage of our
classmates are going to UCLA in the fall like I am, so I’ll probably run into
them at some point or another. I’d stick my tongue out at her in response.
But she’s not here. She’s all the way across the room, holding her
diploma, and I’m in the back, all alone, wondering if they’ll even call my
name to walk across the stage.
Ugh.
