Sydney's POV

I'm bent over breathing in and out slowly, trying to catch my breath after running for what feels like 20 minutes straight. It was a way to blow off some steam, and stay active for gym. As I look around I find the other students playing some type of sport, and some of the girls just sitting around.

I loved free gym days, but I really wished we were doing something so I could focus on that rather than Adrian. He is still missing without a trace for nearly a month. He hasn't so much as called.

"Yo, Sydney!" I hear someone shout, and as I stand and turn around I find a basketball coming fast at me.

"Nice catch." I hear a breathless voice in front of me. I open my eyes to find Trey and a smirk on his face.

"Thanks." I reply, tossing the ball at him. He throws it back to the group of guys he was playing with, but he was playing with, but he didn't return to them.

"You okay?" he asked. I nod, and fake a smile.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I asked. He raised an eyebrow at me not convinced.

"I have never seen a girl run for fun in gym. What's up?" he asked. I sigh, and lean against the wall.

"It's just everything that's going on lately." I say trying not to overwhelm him, and sound like I'm complaining.

"Right, right." He said and added a smile. "I heard about you graduating early. Congratulations on that." He said, patting my arm. I smile thanks at him. "When are you graduating?" he asked.

"Next Friday." I say.

"Awesome." He says while nodding. I nod in return. I should be excited that I'm graduating early, but with all the rumors going around, and the fact that Adrian is still gone keeps me from celebrating.

"Sydney," Trey began. I looked at him expectantly. "There's something I need to ask you." He said. I nod, allowing him to ask. "Well," suddenly the whistle cut him off.

"Go get dressed." Couch shouted, signaling the end of class. I turned back to Trey, but found that his guy friends were already pushing him towards the locker rooms. I laughed and rolled my eyes at the way boys act and walked to the locker rooms.

I sat in my room typing away at my laptop, getting the last of my homework done. I had just finished the last of it when my phone went off. I checked the caller ID and found it was Trey calling me. I laughed at myself before answering him.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Sydney?" he asked unsure if it was me.

"Hey, Trey." I answer. He chuckles on the other line.

"What's up?" He asked. I looked around my bed and sighed.

"Just finishing up my homework." I say. He chuckles on the other line.

"Should have known." He says. I laugh in return.

"Well, it has to be done some time or another." I reply, and he chuckles.

"That's true." He replies. We share a laugh and then there was silence. "Anyway," he says breaking the silence. "About that question from before?" he asks. I think for a while before I remember our conversation in gym.

"Yeah, what's up?" I asked.

"Prom." He says. I sit there looking at my laptop blankly, and my heart begins to pick up speed.

"What about it?" I ask cautiously.

"Are you going?" he asks. I can feel my face become hot, and my fingers begin to shake nervously.

"Um, why?" I asked.

"I just know this guy who wants to ask you, and I'm just making sure he has a fair shot at you." He said.

I swallowed harshly, and could feel my heart begin to beat up against my chest. I was pretty sure that he was talking about himself and not someone else, so I didn't know what to say to him.

"Well, I'm not sure what's going to happen after I graduate." I answer.

"But if you do decide on going…" He tries.

"Um…I don't know. Now is a bad time." I reply truthfully. "You know with me and Adrian." I try to elaborate, and I hear Trey sigh.

"But I thought you guys broke up." He says. I let out an angered sigh.

"Well, we aren't." I respond harshly.

"Sorry, I just never see him around anymore." He defends, and I rub my forehead feeling stupid. It should be expected for him to think Adrian and I were over, especially with all the rumors going around.

"It's okay, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you." I say, and Trey laughs.

"You okay Sage? You know I'm to here to hear you out." He says. I smile and shake my head.

"Thanks Trey." I say, and just then my found makes a bleep sound. "Hold on." I tell Trey.

I pull it away from ear to see that Kristin had texted me. Without hanging up on Trey, I check the text message. My heart dropped at the capitalized letters on my screen.

I HAVE NEWS ON ADRIAN!

I quickly pulled the phone back to my ear.

"Trey?" I nearly shout.

"Yeah?" he replies.

"I'm sorry but I'm going to have to call you back." I say quickly.

"Is everything okay?" he asks.

"I'll tell you later, but I have to go now."

"Okay. Bye."

"Bye." I say and hang up, only to quickly call Kristin and have her answer on the third ring.

"Hello?" she answered.

"What news?" I immediately asked. She took a deep breath before speaking.

"So you know how my dad owns that little motel downtown? Well, he had to check on it today, and I went with him. While he was doing his business I was looking through the check in book. I came across something that you might be interested in." she explained.

"What does this have to do with Adrian?" I asked, a little irritated.

"Trust me, it has everything to do with Adrian." She said. I sighed.

"Okay, what did you come across?" I asked.

"I was looking at the names in the book, and one name in particular jumped at me. Ivashkov, Adrian Ivashkov to be exact." She said. My heart thudded to a halt. This was it. The one thing I needed.

"Is he still there?" I asked.

"It said he checked in about 3 weeks ago, and there wasn't a sign out signature." She said. I clutched my chest, ready to cry.

"Kristin, I could kiss you right now." I say, getting up and searching for my shoes.

"You might want to get the information before you do that." She laughed. I smiled and agreed.

I got the room number and address from her as I got ready. Thanking her about a million times, I ran out my door with my bag and keys. I practically ran down the stairs to the front door. My family looked at me like I was crazy, and wondered where I was going. Without saying a word to them, I ran out to my car and made my way to Adrian.

A/N: How was that for chapter 2? Pretty good, right? Ha-ha! The long awaited reunion between Sydrian! What will happen? Review and find out!

Don't be afraid to do anything to catch my attention. I like laughing as much as the next person. XD So if you like bananas, tell me, or if you have voices in your head, tell me. (I do too! X] ) Just give me a reason to smile and continue to write.

So until next time. Safe sailing Readers. ;)
