The whole gymnasium was decorated with all kinds of party streamers. There were tables set up along with tables full of food. This was the first thing Ed went to the moment he walked in.

Their whole grade was present. That didn't matter much to Eddy, but he didn't realize how many people were actually in their grade. The Eds still stuck together like glue. They had no interest in getting together with the in-crowd.

Nazz took Eddy to the dance floor. He had to think of some way to get away from her. Eddy glanced to the side where he could already see Marie dancing with Edd. Thank God he was dancing with Nazz. 'Dance with me' was written all over Lee's face.

The principal broke up the dancing to make an announcement.

"I am very proud of all of you. You deserve this night after the incredible jobs you've done. High school is going to be a big start to something new and exciting. I want to announce that we are handing out yearbooks. They'll be right over there."

Yearbooks. Edd could say something to Eddy in his note.

They all got in line.

Everyone was clumped together so tightly. The kids almost acted like animals trying to get a yearbook.

Someone accidentally shoved Eddy.

They appologised, but what if it was on purpose?

"We're almost there, Eddy." Nazz pointed out. She took his hand.

Eddy looked to his side.

Could Edd see him through the crowd?

They grabbed their yearbooks. There was a nice picture of their school on the front cover. The first page they opened up to was there whole class.

Eddy smiled seeing that the three of them stood out. It was the first time where the kids were actually laughing with them. But, still they weren't their friends. They didn't understand the Eds lives or what they've been put through.

Nazz was the first to sign his yearbook.

'You're awesome! Keep being strong.' Love, Nazz.

Keep being strong? Eddy knew that he had come a long way over the years, but was he still that bad?

Ed signed his next. Ed's was easy. They'd been best friends since they were babies.

Eddy signed another person's who he wasn't that familiar with.

He signed another's.

Eddy looked through the crowd.

Where did Ed go? Or Edd?

He saw Edd smiling at May as he signed her book.

Eddy felt as if he were drenched in his own sweat, trying to comprehend his thoughts.

"Remember, students," the principal announced. "Make tonight last because everything is going to change once high school comes along."

Eddy dropped his yearbook to the floor.

He shoved through the crowd and ran to the bathroom.

Eddy slid down the wall trying to breathe. He hadn't had a panic attack in so long. Everything was causing his mind to jumble up.

He had to face it. He was never going to be able to tell Edd how he felt.

Time was going to change things.
