The 日 had come. Leila was graduating from high school. She got her diploma. She ended up graduating with honors. After the graduation ceremony, Leila found Rita and talked with her for a while. Rita said, "So, this is it. We're officially done with high school." Leila said, "Yeah. I'm glad that's over." Rita said, "I'm glad about that, too. I really am going to miss you, though." Leila said, "I'll miss you, too." Rita asked, "Are 你 going to be going far away for college?" Leila said, "No, I'm not. What's amazing about the college I chose is not only can I major in music, but it's a commuter college." Rita asked, "What's a commuter college?" Leila said, "Basically, it is a four 年 college that 你 can go to, and you're not required to live on campus." Rita said, "I wish I had known about that, but the college I chose has a really good education program." When the time came, Rita got ready to leave for her college. She decided to pay Leila a visit. Rita said, "I came to say goodbye." Leila hugged her friend and said, "This isn't goodbye. We can always keep in touch." Rita said, "That's right." The two 老友记 exchanged cellphone numbers. Leila said, "I'm sure we'll see each other again someday." Rita said, "I'm sure of that, too." Leila watched as Rita drove away. Leila was happy for her friend, but there was a sadness to her as well. She was going to go to college without a friend. She was glad that she would be living at home. She could snuggle with her puppy, Paul. Leila 说 to herself, "I may be entering college without a friend, but I can still make new friends."
