Fedora the Valedictorian

Note: For the next seven days I'll be posting a story everyday that has to do with Graduation, leading up to the longer story about graduation day. So I hope you enjoy it.

Graduation day was only a week away, and well let’s just say Fedora was procrastinating on writing her speech.
It was no surprise that Fedora was Valedictorian, everyone knew she was the smartest person in school.
So after school Fedora went straight to her room  and attempted to write a graduation speech. Fedora though she was prepared, she had been writing graduation speeches ever since the fourth grade when one of her teachers called her the smartest student in her class. Since then Fedora always had a feeling she would be valedictorian of her senior year.
But she had to admit, writing the real speech was a lot harder than writing a fake one and reading it to her mom. This time she had to really think about what she wanted to say, it was her only chance, and she had to say it in front of her whole school. Fedora didn’t get nervous that often but this was one of those really nerve racking situations.
“Mom wants to know if you want to go shopping with her tomorrow,” Bentley said. Fedora turned to look at him, he must have came into her room without her hearing. She rolled her eyes, annoyed that her step brother couldn’t care less about her privacy.
“Tell her that I’m busy,” Fedora said, she wasn’t really busy but she would rather sit at home bored all day then go shopping with her mom, “and why didn’t she ask me herself?”
Bentley shrugged and then left the room. Fedora turned back to her speech, all she had written so far was the introduction and she wasn’t even sure if she liked it.
She sighed, this was going to take a lot longer then she thought.
