I stood in my bedroom staring at my door. I was ready to leave, had been for the past five minutes, but I couldn't bring myself to open that door and leave just yet.
Somehow, four years had passed already, and I was graduating with a university degree. I was so nerv-ous that I was sweating, and I hadn't even put on the robe yet. I would be putting it on once I got to the school.
Time to get moving everyone is waiting.
I took a deep breath, and with that thought, reached for the door and pulled it open.
Evan and I had our place, but today, I was at Mom and his dad's house so they could help with looking after Sandra since I'd be busy today. It was a big day for all of us and now that Evan had graduated from USC, we would have more time together as a family. Mom was still happy for me, and she wanted to make a big deal out of it because she was proud of me.
"Anita, are you ready?" I heard Mom call through the door.
