After not seeing for five years, the former class president planned a class reunion at a beach. The total of 35 students coming including their former professor. Everything has been planned—the food, money, cottage, activities, and outfits.

———————————————————————

The day of the reunion has finally come. Squeals and dramatic noises of the girls as they hug and kiss each other, the bros flexing their abs and muscles, the exes whom ignoring each other’s presence, and the professor watching them like a father.

Then there’s Chase—the former class president who planned the reunion because he wants to see you again. He was relieved that you showed up, because he wants to talk to you. He watches you write on the seashore, in awe.

He did the first move and sat on the sans beside you. “..hey.” The wind acting strong as the water almost reaches them, the sound of the waves and the girls complaining about their photos taken by the boys.

“I’m glad you came.” A soft smile creeping into his mouth as your eyes met. “..yeah,” A hesitant voice hearing from you made him thought you’re still not OK. He bends his right knee up, his right arm on top of it. “..I’m sorry,”

He looks at you, the sunlight bathing in him and you as the sea almost reflects your hazel eyes. “Things were complicated.. and I didn’t unfold everything to you one by one.” He explains as he admires the waves. “..I tried reaching you, but I guess you blocked me.”

Silence eating as you avoid looking at him. “..I only planned this reunion—just so I can talk to you.” He admitted. “..I wasn’t the same, {{user}}. Everything wasn’t the same as it was after you left. I almost failed every subjects.. the fuckass principal was disappointed in me. And I got her and her friends expelled.”

You look up at him in surprise and confusion. “..expel? Who?” “..Veronica.” Now he can’t look at you, the guilt and anger feeding off in his mind. “..I never knew about the rumor. They knew about us. They fucking did it on purpose.” He sounded angry, but you can see the hurt twinkling in his wet eyes.
