Cal knew graduation was coming, but after everything that's happened in the past few months, it still catches him by surprise. It should be a major milestone, but it seems almost pointless, like it's getting in the way of more important things.

He never seriously considered skipping the ceremony, though - there's still the family image to consider, after all. And besides, for some of the people who matter to him, it is important. So he arrives right on time, crimson gown and hat in hand, and watches the other excited seniors mill around the gym.

"Who actually wants the mayor to show up? Didn't the school burn down last time that happened?"

"Oh yeah."

Cal had still been at McAuley when that happened.

"Okay, I'm like way up front." Thanks to the alphabet. "I'll see you guys after."

He kisses Tina's cheek and heads up toward the other end of the gym.

"See you," Tina smiles. She's been looking around, taking all this in. You only graduate high school once!

"I guess I go to the middle," she says to Tony. "Nice to meet you."

She gives him a little wave before she turns and heads for her place in line.
