The school was decorated for the graduation it was a sea of white as the graduating class walked forward, since Forks wasn't that big the graduating class wasn't so big thought. Just around 150 students were in his graduation class, if it had been back in New York it would have been bigger, or smaller depending on where he went to school.
At his old school it would have been at least forty or fifty kids more, but that was to be expected as it was a private school and most families in the city couldn't even afford the tuition for where he went.
But that wasn't what was important at the moment instead what was is him trying to be patient in his seat, he groaned internally as the principal droned on and on about things he didn't care about. School tradition and yada yada yada about other things, he was just ready to get the hell away from the school forever.
Who cares about being an alumni, it wasn't as if anyone famous came from this school and it would help him later in life, most moved back of stayed in Seattle where they would more then likely go to school. He did groan causing the person next to him to look at him as an alumni did walk to the podium and began to speak about things he didn't care about.

(Everyone else POV)
CeCe even from where she sat could see her grandson and chuckled, "What does he want to do after school?"
Rachel sighed as she looked at her son, "He wants to open a business and sit back collecting money, he doesn't even want to entertain the idea of college. But I told him I wouldn't fund it unless he went to college."
As they spoke they didn't realize that Ryan could hear them despite all the other voices.
"Hmm, well I would find it if he asked me, but I still want him to do college as he does so." CeCe thought out loud.
"Mother, don't help him. He needs to be passionate about learning something." Rachel sighed.
"Oh, I am sure there is something he will enjoy learning." CeCe answered vaguely as she let a small smirk grace her lips.
Rachel looked at her but when nothing else was said she let it go, "What about you Leah? Are you still following Ryan? Do you know where he is going, he still hasn't told me."
Leah shook her head, "No, and since he got accepted into so many and doesn't need to commit until August, so he is putting it off." She finished by rolling her eyes.
No one said anything because they all knew it was something Ryan would do, they could only shake their heads internally at what he was thinking, he truly was an odd one. Rachel was just happy that her son was going to college, she knew this was the most she was going to get out of him.
"Oh, it's finally starting." Seth said, he had been leaning back in his chair bored while they were waiting for the principal and whoever else to stop talking.
They sat there for another forty minutes before it got to the R's, "Ryan Lux Robins." The announcer said as they all, besides CeCe, stood cheering for Ryan as he walked across the stage and took his diploma from the principal.

Ryan looked right to them with a smile.bekfre finishing his walk and going to his seat, he sat there for them to finish the rest of the ceremony, he was lucky that didn't ask him to make a speech like the valedictorian. Not that his speech should mean much, it wasn't in the same category, people would rather have a message from a leader then runner up.
After it was all over he made his way outside and saw his family waiting for them, near them he could see the Cullens, who needed to keep appearances by showing that they were still on good terms. He knew that from what had happened though that Rosalie didn't care much for them, they had chosen Bella over him which sealed their fate.
Yes she had been with them for years but that didn't compare to the mate feelings, so Rosalie had been icing them out.
"Oh, you were wonderful dear!" His grandmother said with a smile as she pulled him into a hug.
He rolled his eyes good naturally, "All I did was walk across the stage, it wasn't that big of a deal."
His mother took over the hug as his grandmother stepped away, "Yes dear, but I am sure we all thought that you wouldn't be walking across it. With you missing so much class and all."
He chuckled not ashamed at all, "And I would do it all again if I could."
From there Leah, Rosalie and him all took pictures together until his mother was satisfied, his grandmother laughed at his face when she reached the hundred mark and was still going, it was as if they didn't do more of the same poses more then once. Ryan actually chuckled himself some when he looked to the Cullens and saw how jealous Esme looked at his mother, she also didn't try to get copies either.
"So after party?" Ryan said when he was getting bored of standing outside the school, he did not want to be there any longer.
"Yes, great idea dear. I already had the caterers I hired set something up, and I got a message from Meredith that her and some friends were already waiting there for us." His grandmother said with a smile as she led him to the car.
Ryan was conflicted, he was happy to hear that Meredith would be there, but there was also the little fact that her friends were....well they were a little much. And from his last visit he could tell there was a lot of drama with them, which he wanted no part of at his house.
But saying no to a CeCe party was like pulling teeth, and since she already invited them there was nothing he could say or do. It was going to be a wild night.
