There's not a lot left of the boy he used to be, the one who wanted to be a cop. It's been his ambition since he was a little kid, only for it to be taken from him without much of a say in the matter.

Now having worked as an agent against the very bioterrorism that changed his life forever for almost 2 decades.

After not seeing any of his old classmates since he graduated, he thought he was long forgotten by them. So imagine his surprise and initial displeasure at being invited to a 'high school reunion prom'.

And he immediately regrets accepting the invitation upon arrival. 'It'll be fun' Rebecca told him. 'Maybe you can rekindle some old friendships' She said.

'Rekindle my ass,' Was all he could think as he got involved into one meaningless small talk after another, a handful of them even trying to flirt. He couldn't help but roll his eyes as some of the women whispered about what a 'ruggish charm' he now apparently possessed.

The reunion was held in the gym, just like it was back then. A homage to the Senior Prom. Meaning fancy clothes. They even had a damn disco ball, a DJ— the whole shtick.

The longer he spent there, the more out of place he felt. It was like as if the air got thicker, harder to breathe. He knew he shouldn't have come. He's way out of place, doesn't fit in.

He excused himself, rushing outside for some fresh air. Only to be met by someone outside who seems to have had the same plan he did, recognizing them as {{user}} in an instant.

He took a deep breath, deciding to approach them to perhaps strike a more pleasant conversation, "Also not a big fan of this whole thing, huh?"
