Gina was graduating today. This was happening she almost couldn't believe it. She walked across the stage and got her diploma she had done it, she had graduated high school! After that she moved into the sea of people trying to find her mom among the others.
There was so much people she almost got knocked over, at the last second a pair of arms caught her, strong arms holding her up. "Don't fall over" Gina looked up "EJ?" she smiled "what are you doing here?" Ever since they had had closure a few months ago things had been better between them, different, they were best friends again and had hung out and had adventures all the time now that they were neighbors. EJ smiled and helped her stand up. "Well, you gotta show up for your people. Lucky for you, you happen to be my favorite." Gina looked at him "wait so you came here for.. Me?" Gina asked in happiness and disbelief.
"Of course. Team wonderstudy remember? We always have each others backs." EJ said Gina blushed remembering when he and EJ had planned to take down Ricky and Nini to get the lead roles.
"So Ricky…" EJ trailed off
"He graduated a year ago remerember? He and Nini are back together actually."
"Really? Finally! those two are soulmates."
"How do you even find the right person do you think?" Gina wondered "I think of the right person comes along.. You just feel it." EJ said softly They looked at each other and blushed. EJ broke the silence "hey I got you something." He pulled something out of his bag and handed it to her.
Gina opened it. It was a scrapbook, puzzled Gina opened it. Inside were pictures of High School Musical and EJ and Gina at homecoming, there were more pictures Beauty and the beast, their first date, EJ's graduation and the famous summer at camp shallow lake. "If it's too much or if it's not perfect.. I tried i'm not good at homemade gifts like you are.. I can take it back-
Gina held tight to the book. "I love it." she whispered, tears in her eyes. "It's for all your adventures" EJ said "happy graduation G." he turned to walk away. Gina pulled on his shoulder "EJ. Wait."
He turned around "what?"
"I don't want any adventures.. If youre not in them." Gina said "this book. You're the reason this all happened, why i stayed in salt lake, I stayed at Ashlyn's house. It was all because of you. I don't want to put any more pictures in here unless you're in them.."
EJ smiled "really? What if we pass this back and forth between us? That way when we want to put something in the book we can and then when we hand it back to the other person it's like a little surprise because you don't know what memory is in there until the other person opens it."
"Are you just looking to spend more time with me?" Gina teased
"Honselty? Yes." EJ smiled
Gina smiled he really was the sweetest guy. Before she could think Gina kissed him on the check. EJ broke into a wide grin.
"I should go find my mom." Gina said EJ took her hand and took a picture with her. Gina smiled. "See? We have adventures all the time." EJ said "now you can go."
Gina gave his hand a squeeze and let go. "Moive night at my place tonight?"
"I would love to." EJ smiled and watched Gina disappear in the crowd.
