Last day of school : 2013 Graduation

Derek Hale saw the sign 'Welcome to Beacon Hills' and drove forward.

In the passenger seat, Paige was talking about her last day as college teacher and how she won't actually have vacation while planning the subject for the next semester. Derek was listening distractly and thinking about his sister Cora if she would manage to come back in town OK. He would have take her back too but she insisted she could do it alone. It's not that he was coddling her, but she was his little sister.

And to say that Malia was graduating and probably going to college too.

(Probably, because the girl woudn't tell them anything).

Of course he was back to town because of his another little sister, and he admitted (only to Paige, though) he's protective of his little siblings. Because, there wasn't a lot of male figure in the Hale family and the one who was didn't do his job (looking at you, uncle Pete), so he promised to be a great parentale figure and helping his mother to do a great job (not perfect, because nobody was).

They came to the ceremony just in time to see the Valedictorian gave its speech and joined the others in the bench for relatives.

Then, it was the time to take picture and congratulate the graduated students. Derek lead them to where he see his older sister Laura and they talked a while before welcoming Malia among them.

Mrs Finch was the AP biology teacher.

She was seen as cold and sharp because she was realy serious about the course she's teaching, but deep down she's a caring woman who had daughter that went to Beacon Hills High School too, Quinn, in ninth grade, going in tenth who didn't have her surname.

Her harshness could be soften when she saw how her students were reliable and earnest to learn the subject, so she was glad to see most of them graduate and only a few who gave up in midway.

She, unlike her colleagues of physics and chemistry (or even calculus), was able to see responsible students and how to force them to go forward.

Said colleagues (mister Douglas and mister Harris and mrs Flemmings) got a grave expression whie seeing the students processing.

Jennifer Blake was smilling proudly.

The scene wasn't new to her, as she already assisted it last year, but before that she was just a substitute teacher and didn't have much occasion to see the students she taught graduating.

Even before that, she wasn't even teacher. Seven years prior, she was just a litterate in some college studying the litterature. She chose this carrer because her loved one, Kali, abandoned her and went on the wrong path. She wanted to make her realize her mistakes and it was on the road that she realized how teaching the young generation could help in her goal.

From this moment, she enjoyed every moment to be a teacher, especially when the secondary students were specimens.

Across the place, her eyes met Marin Morell, her colleague of language class. English and French surely got differences (and the young one would say about some unreachable level, but they were just lazy), but deep down, they came from the same root.

So, Jennifer and Marin were the same and agreeing on this, they exchanged a known look.

Adrian Harris sneered after the last student passed the podium.

He became teacher for six years now, but not a single day he found the job as entertaining than this day.

Before that, he served in the army but retire when it didn't match his need. Being the science teacher, as standard but AP Chemistry only, he found that doing experience was his things, even if he had to teach some brainless kids. It was better than doing research in university were there would be more restraints, as teacher he could even snark at the children.

Now, he's just glad to see another row of them graduate.

Satomi Ito was an aged woman who had seen a lot in her life.

But through her experience, she chose to help the next generation by giving foyer to the orphans and the lost souls.

She took care of a lot of people and some gone, other remained to show her gratitude. She taught them how to be fair and never suffering from their feeling, she taught them some buddhist way.

The young one needed it the more as some lost so much.

There were those siblings who lost their family in an accident, and some she found them before they ruined their life, others, she gave them goal after going through some trouble. But, all in all, she's glad to see they could still livie and would one day graduate school to become someone more.
