(It's the end of the 2014 graduation ceremony, and the diplomas are done being handed out.)

Random teacher: Here's to the class of 2014!

Everyone else: (Cheers, throws their caps in the air)

Me: (Cries, throws my cap on the ground and stomps on it)

Joshua Molina (my high school aid): (Restrains me) Why are you doing that?! This is a time of celebration!

Me: (Sobs) You'll never understand the devastation... She didn't make it... And that counts as a loss to me... But I refuse to take it out on her... (Throws the graduation cap in the trash)

(1 minute later...)

???: Richard!

Me: (Sniff) So you came after all... Samantha... Thank you... (Tries not to cry, side-hugs her for a picture)

(Just to clear things up, I was looking away from the camera out of fear I might end up crying again.)

(Later in life, at Polly's Pies...)

???: Richard?! It's been so long!

Me: Samantha... I want to give you something... (Writes down a confession and hands it over to her)

Samantha: (Reads with my voiceover)

"I knew from the moment I met you, that you weren't just a crush... I've had experience with girls' activities in elementary school, so I know what makes a girl happy... And right now, seeing your face has got me wanting to say the most heartfelt confession ever... Samantha... I love you."

Samantha: (Smiles)

Me: I'll see you later...

(Just then, I heard yelling.)

???: You don't know her! Get away from her!

Me: (Explains in the car)

???: I don't believe you.

(8 years later...)

My mother: She said she was sorry.

Me: It's too late. The damage is done. There's no turning back...

(And to this day, I've kept that promise, but Samantha hasn't, giving me a split personality that I've managed to control...)
