Laney smiled and went to the kitchen and stuck it up on the fridge. About
four minutes later the doorbell rang and Laney paid the pizza boy.
She sat in the kitchen eating her pizza thinking about the reunion. Just
when she was finishing her pizza, the door swung open and Zack trudged into
the kitchen, soaked from the rain.
"Hey! How was your da-Geez, your soaked!" Laney exclaimed
"Here, catch!" Laney said as she threw Zack a tiny wash cloth. Zack stared at the tiny towel. He rolled his eyes and laughed
"Thanks, I'll be sure to wash behind my ears" he scoffed Laney laughed and headed to the bathroom to grab him a towel. "Oh Yeah, Guess what we got in the mail today? "Laney yelled from the bathroom. She headed back from the bathroom and tossed him a blue towel. "We got an invitation to our 10 year high school reunion" She unclipped the invitation and handed it to Zack. She leaned on his shoulder as they both stared at it.
"Can we go? Do we have any other plans?" she asked, her eyes still fixed on the invitation. "Because, I mean, we kinda have to be there. We're probably the most well-known couple in the class; every one wants us to be there. We're probably the only reason they're going. They wanna see how we turned out."
"What do they expect? We're great!" he said and smiled as he planted a big,wet smooch on her cheek. Laney followed him back to the bedroom as he changed out of his wet clothes.
"I wonder who's gonna be there?" Laney asked. Zack, who was putting on socks. He shrugged.
"Everybody, probably, unless they really don't want to" Laney giggled
"I bet Miss Barf-Bag Misty won't be there, and if she is, the first thing she'll do when she sees me is slap me silly. She actually told me to kill my self so that I would be a famous painter. Of course, she hates me for painting her face at Preston's party." Laney said. She laughed at the thought of hearing Misty scream. But of course another thought came to mind. It followed that scream, almost as if it was sign. Her smile drooped as she thought about what Taylor Vaughan had said to her. It kept ringing in her head.
"To everyone here who matters, you're vapor! You're spam, a waste of perfectly good yearbook space. And nothing is going to change that. Aww. you're not gonna cry are you?" Little tears started to swell up in Laney's eyes as she thought about how much it hurt her. Of course, Zack, being her soul mate, knew exactly what was wrong. He walked over to the bed and sat next to her. He put his arm around her shoulder. "It's ok, you can forget about it. It's in the past. Taylor can't hurt you again or at least not when I'm around" he told her. Laney smiled, and reached under the bed. She pulled out the Harrison High yearbook and flipped back to the graduation picture. The only person that stood out of the black robes was the only one with out one on, Zack. She laughed and pointed at him. She was laughing so hard, she plopped back on the bed. She leaned forward and pulled something else from under the bed. It was the soccer ball. Zack stared at it with disgust.
"You kept that?" Zack winced at the thought
"Ya, and I will cherish it, as long as it stays under the bed" Laney told him. "You know what Zack?" she asked "What?" he asked happily "This story and soccer ball should be sent to Cosmo" she cried His eyes grew as wide as Frisbees.
"OH NO YOU WON'T!!" he cried Laney laughed
"Of course I will. I won't give your name or anything. Jeez honey, what did you think I was gonna do? Put actual names?" Laney asked with a grin.
"Come to think of it... that's not a bad idea..." she squealed with delight and stuck the year book and soccer ball under the bed. Laney thought for a second. Then a completely random thought popped into her head.
"I wonder if any one from high school has lost one of their senses, like what if one of our friends is blind or deaf."
"Why would anyone we know be blind or dea-OHHHHH" Zack nodded.
"You know someone?... who?. OH, of course." Laney exclaimed. Zack nodded again, but this time with his eyes on the floor.
"It's ok; you don't have to think about it, sweetie. I know you hate to think about it. I'm sorry I even brought it up" Laney apologized. "I have a wild and crazy idea, why don't we go out for ice cream?" Laney asked.
"It's freezing rain outside! Why would we go out for ice cream?" Zack asked confused. Laney laughed
"That's what makes it wild and crazy, now grab your coat, and come on, my treat!" Laney giggled and ran to get her coat.
"Here, catch!" Laney said as she threw Zack a tiny wash cloth. Zack stared at the tiny towel. He rolled his eyes and laughed
