A Life So Changed
Chapter One
Packing Up and the Reunion
*Aelita's POV*
I sighed. I missed my friends back at Kadic, every day I wonder where they are now, how are they doing, and if they would even remember me, or even if Jeremy even remembers me. It's been five years since I saw my friends, I am now graduated from college in America, and is started my own Imaging Technology business back in France. This was going pretty well, I never knew how much people would be interested.
I just left my job a few minutes ago and pulled up to my condo, before entering, I check the mail.
"Junk, junk, junk, bills, bills," I flipped through the envelopes. I then came across a letter that said "Kadic Junior High School Class of 2007 Reunion" (A/N I'm just going by when the show went off.) I quickly opened the letter and read it to myself.
Dear Former Classmate
Ready to go back to Kadic for a couple of days, ready to find out what it was like to be a high school student again, ready to see all your old teachers, former classmates, and friends! If you said yes to these questions, come to the class reunion on Friday April 8, 2011 through Sunday April 9, 2011, at 12:00 please meet at the courtyard. Departure is around 5:00 Sunday afternoon.
See you soon!
"Friday, wait that's tomorrow" I just realized it was Thursday. "Well, I guess it for the better if I go" I said to myself, walking into my condo and closing the door behind me, hoping my former friends will attend too.
*Jeremy's POV*
I put the letter down on the table, amazed that our class would even have a reunion. I just wonder who would have thought of the reunion, but I was happy I was able to make time in my schedule to attend. I work at computer making company in northern England. I was transferred here after college to work here as the boss.
I decided to leave for France tonight due to the early arrival time, when it seemed like hours for work to be over. I packed my stuff at my apartment, and headed towards the airport. I started to think that I haven't spoken to any of my friends in the past five years, and wonder what they would be like today. What if they kept in contact and I didn't? Would things be weird, or will be pick up where we left off in high school just before graduation? Will Aelita remember me, did she move on and met someone new.
A million thoughts and questions ran through my head that I wished would be answered right now. The intercom in the airport called that my plane arrived; I sighed and boarded my plane, waiting to see what the reunion has to bring me.
*Odd's POV*
"Awesome" I yelled looking at the letter in my hand.
"What happen" My girlfriend, Lena walked into the living room.
"My class is having a reunion back at my old high school"
Lena smiled "That's sweet, are you going to go"
I looked at Lena "Yes, of course I really want to see how my old buddies are"
"Didn't you say you haven't spoken to them in five years" Lena questioned
My shoulders dropped "That's true, I don't know how things will turn out"
Lena brushed her hand through my hair "Well, it might seem awkward at first, but I bet you guys will be close again"
"I hope so" I sighed "Well I have to finish up these music sheets in the studio"
Lena nodded her head "I'm going out to get my nails done"
"Okay" I walked into the studio and picked up my guitar, and start to finish my song that I had started. I had graduated with music major, I worked with all kinds of celebrities, I made songs for movies, and I even created my own music. I make instrumentals mostly, it makes me feel great for what I accomplished in my music, and I also like to hear the music instead of the lyrics at times. I currently live in Rome, back near my parents and my hometown. After an hour, my music was completed; I burned it onto my CD and put it with the rest of the music I created. In the past five years, I created at least 700 CD's. I
I sighed and walked out the studio, penthouse overlooking all of Rome. It was an awesome view; I could even see my parents' house from where I live. I went into my bedroom, and packed my clothes, I even packed Lena's clothes too, I was dating Lena ever since college and I know she was asking me to go to the reunion, without the words. That's why she went to go get her nails done, and most likely her hair too.
"Kadic here we come" I sighed as I packed the last bit of clothes.
*Yumi's POV*
I read the letter I received in the mail again; I couldn't believe I was going to go to Kadic again. After five years, I wonder how much the place has changed, how much people have grown, what my old friends, and Ulrich. My heart dropped when I thought of his name, I knew deep down inside I still had slight feelings for him, but then I thought, he probably moved on, after five years of not speaking.
I sighed and thought to myself I shouldn't go at all, but then, I had to. I don't know when I am going to get another chance like this again. I packed my stuff, up and looked out the window. I had received a full ride to a school back in Japan. Of course I took up on that offer; I didn't want to pay back money for the rest of my life. I am now a veterinarian; well I am studying to be one still. I still have four years left to become a full licensed veterinarian.
I left to go to the airport; it was going to be a long flight back to France might as well leave as early as possible.
I pulled out an out photo book of my friends and I back in high school. I smiled as I flipped through some of the funny pictures, but then I looked at a picture of Ulrich and I. We was sitting at his favorite tree, I was in his lap looking up at him, smiling, and he was looking down at me, also smiling with his arms wrapped around me. I silent tear rolled down my face.
I wished I would have told Ulrich how I felt back in high school; I wondered where we would be now. I sighed and looked out the window closed my eyes, and hoped everything will turn out alright.
*Ulrich's POV*
I read the letter I had just received at my job; I thought how this would end up. After five years of not speaking to any of his friends, would things be the same between them. I thought it would be a nice opportunity to go, to find out how much things has changed, and how much people have grown.
I left my office and headed toward my car to go home. I am the number one lawyer in all of Germany. My father insisted that I go to a school and Germany; actually he wouldn't give me any choice to go to school anywhere else.
When I arrived at my house, I stayed for in the car for a second and thought to myself, what if I see Yumi again. It was unbelievable how much I missed her in the past five years, I wished I could have confessed my feelings for her back in high school. But, I had to move on eventually. I was now dating a girl named Maddie, we only been going out for a couple of months, sex to be exact. But, deep down I felt like something was not right, like we didn't have that connection Yumi and I had back in high school. But, she kept me happy, so I am with her.
I went into my huge two story house my father had brought me after graduation. I sighed, walked in the house, and got ready for a long flight.
Friday April 8, 2011
*Normal POV*
Kadic Junior High School
The courtyard was filled with former students; people were hugging, smiling, and happy to see each other again. Some former students even cried when they saw their old friends that they missed dearly.
Odd showed up at his old school, he stretched his way out of the car, then help pull Lena out of the car.
"Wow this was your old school" Lena looked around
"Yup" Odd answered
"Looks like the school we went to back in Italy" Lena smiled
"I said that when I first transferred here" Odd looked back at his old school "Come on let's go to the courtyard"
"Odd, is that you" A voice asked behind the couple, who turned around
"Aelita" Odd asked
Aelita smiled and reached in for a hug "Yes it's me"
"Well, hello there stranger, long time no contact" Odd returned the hug
"Five years" Aelita said
"Aelita, this is Lena, my girlfriend" Odd introduced "Lena, this is Aelita; she was really cool back in high school"
Aelita reached out her hand, which Lena took "Nice too meet you"
Lena smile "Nice to meet you too"
"So is anyone else here yet" Odd asked looking around campus
"No, that I know off" Aelita sat down at their old bench
"Ah, the old bench" Odd said "Lena this is the bench my friends and I always used to sit at to talk"
"That's cool" Lena smiled
"Aelita, Odd?" A voice asked
Odd and Aelita turned around and faced Yumi
"Oh my gosh Yumi" Aelita ran to Yumi and gave her a huge friendly hug
Yumi laughed "Hey, it's so nice to see you again"
"I know how are you" Aelita asked "it's only been five years"
"Well, I'm graduate school now, so things are going alright" Yumi answered "Hey Odd"
"What's up Yumi" Odd gave Yumi and hug, which she returned
"And how are you" Yumi asked
"I'm great, oh, and this is Lena, my girlfriend" Odd introduced
"Nice to meet you, I'm Yumi" Yumi shook her hand
"Nice to meet you too" Lena smiled
"Hey guys" Another voice said behind the group
"Jeremy" Aelita asked
Jeremy's heart dropped when he saw Aelita, how much she had changed. Her short pink hair was now long, she had on a yellow tank to and white jeans and sandals. Her eyes were still the same dark green too, she looked amazing. "Hey Aelita"
Jeremy and Aelita leaned in for a hug, which lasted longer than anticipated.
"Hey guys" Jeremy to his other two former friends giving Yumi and hug, and Odd a one armed hug, Odd again introduced his girlfriend to Jeremy, and the four caught up for a while, as Lena went looking around at the school.
"Hey guys" A voice said
They turned around and saw Ulrich facing them, Yumi's heart dropped when she saw him. She thought he has gotten more handsome over the past few years, his dark brown hair was still the same, but a little longer and in style, his dark brown eyes, he even grew muscular, and much taller, with a deeper voice to fit him.
"Hey good buddy" Odd gave his former best friend a one armed hug
Ulrich smiled "What's up Odd"
"Nothing, just in the music area's" Odd answered
"I thought you would be" Ulrich laughed
"Hey Ulrich" Aelita said
"Hey Aelita" Ulrich gave Aelita a friendly hug
"How are you Ulrich" Jeremy gave a one-armed hug
"Alright, and you" Ulrich asked
"Same, into computers" Jeremy answered
Yumi finally stood up and faced Ulrich "Hey, Ulrich"
Ulrich looked at Yumi for a second, and when he did, he couldn't feel the beat of his own heart anymore. Yumi had changed a lot over the past five years, she now had long curly black hair that reached the middle of her back, and she still had those dark brown eyes that everybody gave into, especially him. Ulrich noticed she wasn't wearing any black either, she was wearing a dark blue shorts that stopped a few inches above her knee, a white halter top, and wedges. Ulrich noticed he was much taller than her now, even with her wedges on; he still had her beat by three inches.
"Hey Yumes" Ulrich leaned in for a hug
Yumi sighed into the hug as she remembered that was her nickname for him and returned the hug; she took in his scent, which smelt really good to her, she could even smell his aftershave too.
Ulrich was doing the same too, he thought Yumi's hair smelt like strawberries, and she had smelt like fresh baked cookies. (A/N this is making me hungry)
The two finally let each other loose, and then a girl stepped beside Ulrich.
"Oh, guys this is Maddie" Ulrich introduced "My girlfriend"
Yumi felt as if a piano fell from the sky and smashed her heart, somehow she knew this would happen.
The four friends looked at Yumi then back to Ulrich and Maddie
"It's nice to meet you guys" Maddie smiled
"It's nice to meet you too" Yumi looked at her feet
Lena then walked beside Odd and intertwined their hands together.
"Ok Kadic Alumni, it's time to go to the auditorium for a brief meeting" The old principle announced
"No way, Delmas is still here" Odd laughed "I wonder if G.I Jim is still here too"
"Mr. Della Robbia" A strong, but old voice said behind Odd
Odd turned around "Jim" he asked
"Yes, it's me" Jim said "You still haven't changed"
"No, that will never happen" Odd replied
"Well, just go to the auditorium Odd, don't slack around now" Jim pointed
"Oh alright" Odd lead Lena to the auditorium, the group then walked towards the auditorium behind Odd.
Well that was the first chapter. REVIEWwwwwwww
