Put in Her Place 8.5 Graduation

    I looked around at all of the happy students around me. We had all just graduated from highschool, a really big deal for anyone, normally. But this was my second time doing it. It wasn't as if I wasn't proud of myself or happy, but it was a weird feeling to say the least. That said, I didn't just breeze through school like it was nothing, I was studying entirely new things after all, after putting in such passionate effort into looking like a proper woman, I had taken up beauty classes to further my progress. I was thinking maybe I could make a job out of it... certainly not something I would have done in my previous life, being a teen girl changed me a lot. The years had also been full of the pressures of balancing a social life, school work, extracurricular activities and... a boyfriend.

    "We did it Alexa!" Keith came over and gave me a kiss as if it were nothing, naturally. We had been dating for a while now. The two of us had done a lot to get this far, both of us succeeded, in our own ways. Keith had become a great swimmer and I had adjusted to a drastically different life from the one I led before. Reliable girlfriends, a cute boyfriend, a loving family... you really wouldn't think me any different from your average teenage girl, aside from being behind the times every once in a while, though I had done a lot to cover that up. I was really happy with how things had turned out. "So... what's next for us?"

    "What's next? I don't know, what do you have in mind?" I had, in truth, put a lot of thought into what was next for us. After all, we had been going strong for quite a long time now. My previous sweetheart wasn't one I had in high school, but this one looked as if it was going to last, I really did love Keith. I still wanted to pace things, but of course I had thought about all sorts of things, how our marriage would go... what our kids would be like... wow, who would have thought I'd have kids again? As a woman, no less...

    "Well, do you want to live together sometime soon? We can probably manage to get a place." So soon he wanted to live with me? I knew he liked me a lot but that's a big decision! Even so, being hyped up on young love of course I loved the idea, jumping into the unknown with him so soon after graduating and moving out, I had intended to soon regardless.

    "L-l-live together? Isn't that a bit sudden?" Reeling from the initial shock still, I had to make sure it was what he actually wanted

    "What you don't want to?" Keith knew I did, so he teased me.

    "No I do! But were still sort of young." Or he was, at least. Although honestly I felt like I had never been older than I was now, it was probably due to being a girl instead.

    "Well you sure didn't seem young last night." Of course sex was on his mind... although I can't blame him, it comes to mind whenever I'm with him still after we had our first time. Last night we had... celebrated the occasion, to say the least. "But seriously, we're free to do whatever we want! I got your dad's blessing... so what do you say? You can start your college courses as a beautician, I can get a stable enough job for the both of us?" Dad, or rather the old Alexa, said yes? I guess he was just as sure as me that this relationship would last... him supporting me so much was sort of awkward though. Regardless, I was elated.

    "I would love to!" I jumped up into his arms. I didn't know what the future held, but I felt a lot better knowing my boyfriend... and maybe someday my husband, was there with me. He wanted to support me but I wanted to do the same for him, I would use the knowledge I had to make our lives easier! I had never been this excited to go to college, it was like my life was meant to be this way
