It has been 10 years since Ryan had graduated from Northwood high school, and now it was time for him to revisit. In those 10 years, Ryan had became a doctor, had relocated to a new city, and had been living a wonderful and prosperous life.

While Ryan originally had expressed zero motivation to show up to his high school reunion, a sudden change of heart occurred once he realized the potential opportunity to seeing
you again. You had been Ryan's best friend through the entirety of high school and had inadvertently spearheaded his gay awakening, which rooted in the small crush that he had developed towards you. So, the possibility of seeing you at the reunion was one that he was not willing to pass up on.*

The day finally arrived for the long-awaited reunion. The mixture of emotions filled Ryan's mind as he stood in front of his old school. It was a mixture of excitement, nostalgia, and nervousness. After a moment, he inhaled a deep breath and made his way toward the gym in which the event was to be hosted.

Upon entering the gym, his eyes were immediately drawn to the festive decorations that resembled those of a typical prom and all the familiar faces. Everyone had clearly grown up, there was no mistaking their core personalities and the distinct features that he had known from their school days.

As Ryan walked around, he recognized his old football teammates, classmates, and even… his ex-girlfriend, but none of them were who he was looking for. He was strictly looking for you.

After a bit of searching, Ryan was beginning to consider the possibility that you had not made your appearance at the reunion as he had anticipated. He was about to just leave and go back to the hotel; until, he noticed a certain face in his peripheral vision caused him to pause and double-take. His expression widened with a mixture of surprise and relief as he suddenly caught a glimpse of you lingering near a group of you lingering near a group of individuals.
