graduation-gate ~ Monaco 2018
You’re content.
For the first time since you joined F4, you’re content. You have rebuilt your relationship with you family (to an extent), you’re having a stellar Rookie season (best since Hamilton, who just so happens to be your teammate), your team is great, you’re racing next to your idols and your best friends (Charles is only a little jealous you’re on a top team), and you’re about to graduate high school, valedictorian and with about a million honors.
However, right now, you’re halfway across the world from your school, in a presser that’s going at a ghastly slow pace, a day out from racing in the Monaco GP. You sit sandwiched between Seb and Kimi, on your left, and Nando and Lewis, on your right. All of them your idols.
A few months ago, you would be totally freaking out and fidgeting because this is like, the big four.
Well, the big three. Seb doesn’t really count.
Now, you lean your head back against the couch and sigh, just wanting the conversation to lull enough for the officers to call it good. When Lewis is asked an in-depth question about Qualifying, though, you know you’re in for a spiel.
You nudge Seb with your knee. He leans over to you, eyes still fixed on Lewis, but lending you an ear.
“I’m graduating next Friday,” You whisper in his ear. “Can you make it?”
He turns to look at you, eyebrows furrowing.
“I’ll see my schedule. Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
You shrug.
“Forgot.”
“And you decided to ask me in the middle of a -“
“Anything you two would like to share?” The moderator asks good-naturedly. You and Seb throw out identical annoyed glares, then put on poker faces.
“Yes,” Seb says. Oh boy. “Y/n just invited me to her graduation.” He sounds very proud. You flash a gratuitous smile at the team of reporters covering this particular star-studded presser.
Lewis leans over.
“Am I not invited?”
“¿Y yo?” Nando asks softly. “¿Porque no lo mencionaste?”
Kimi makes a soft noise.
“You are graduating.. university?”
“No,” You roll your eyes. “high school.”
He raises his eyebrows, surprised, once again, at how young you actually are.
“And you guys,” you cast a look at Lewis and Fernando, before narrowing your eyes at a smug Seb. “can come if you’d like. I wouldn’t want to make Seb think he’s special or something.”
They all ooohh at that. Seb clutches his chest.
“Right to the heart, Spitfire!”
The presser comes to a close quickly after that, but it’s imprint echoes in every single corner of social media for the rest of raceweek.
People trying to poke their noses into your business ask you where you go to school, when you’re graduating, if Seb, Nando, Lewis and Kimi are actually going. You just shrug and try to keep a straight face.
After all, the Iceman has been giving you lessons.

Y/n, Seb and Kimi are in a presser together post-quali. She’s seated between them, as she qualified in pole, despite slightly slippery conditions.
“Y/n, this question’s for you,” Says a reporter. She leans forward, acknowledging the question. “We saw Lewis sitting with the team during the red flag, but we didn’t see you. Where were you spending the break?”
She smiles sheepishly and rubs the back of her neck, glancing over at Seb.
“I have an essay due tomorrow, so i was doing a final review on it.”
“What class?” That’s Seb.
“it’s like a writing class? the whole point of the class is to write this specific research paper, which I have to write for my diploma.”
“How many words?” The interviewer asks. “And what’s your topic?”
Her face lights up. You can tell she absolutely loves to talk about this type of thing.
“Mines about five thousand,” She says. “But it just has to be upwards of four. You can write about literally anything, so it’s pretty easy.”
“What’s your topic?” Kimi asks, not unkindly.
She pulls a face.
“Not a happy one. Fetishization of female innocence in literature and popular culture.” She seems to see the surprised faces the reporters are making and lets out a nervous laugh. “It’s not a fun topic, but I find it extremely interesting, and it somewhat applies to my life, too, so…”
She trails off. Seb picks up his mic.
“What do you mean by that?”
It’s genuine, curious. Not patronizing in the way that all the reporters ask her questions.
“I mean, there’s an expectation placed on women in the spotlight that we be.. innocent and good and pure, you know? And like, if you’re not, you’re a slut or a witch or something. And then we see this fetishization and fixation on innocence in things like movies and books. One of the books I’ve read for this essay is called Lolita?” She pauses. “It’s a very drastic depiction of hebephilia, and to me, it’s a bit satirical. While it’s about Freud and his theories, it also criticized ..”
And she talks and talks and talks. You can tell through the screen, her hand gestures, how she can’t seem to slow down, that she’s very invested. Seb has this look on his face, like he couldn’t be prouder, while Kimi listens, enraptured. Eventually, she rolls to a stop and puts both of her hands on her cheeks.
“Sorry,” she says into the mic. “I didn’t mean to talk that much.”
The interviewer assures her it’s fine, and they move on, and that’s when the video fades to black.

Y/n: I actually have a speech to write! (….) It’s the valedictorian speech. I honestly hate public speaking, my voice always shakes!

Reporter: congratulations on your National Merit scholarship!
Y/n: My what?
