Mia's POV

Once the whole presentation was done we all headed outside. The weather was nice and breezy. The place was decorated with tiny lights all around us. The music was louder and people were starting to dance. There was a long table with differnt foods. There were chairs and tables around, leaving room for the dance floor in the middle, of course.

Lilly returned and said she was "somewhere" at the time. All of us sat at a table. No one spoke. Everyone was strangly quiet at the time. It was very creepy. So I had to ask, "So...did someone die here or what?" I said trying to get everyone to laugh. It didn't work. Geez, maybe this reunion was a bit creepy. I got up and said, "I'm going to get some punch. Anybody want some while I'm there?" I asked everyone. Silence. "Okay, well if you need me I'll be at the punch table. Be right back."

I went to the punch table to serve myself some punch when I saw Michael beside me doing the same.

"Hi." I grinned at him.

"Hey." He finally said something to me. 'Hey' well it's a start.

"So liking it so far? I didn't really want to come. Big bore, you know?" He said. That's like 15 more words. Now we're getting somewhere.

"Yea same here. I didn't even want to come. But Grandmere was all 'you should go' so...here I am." Why am I being nervous. I mean I sound like I was a 14 again talking to a boy. He's Michael. He's my friend. Well was my boyfriend but-Oh God is that why I'm nervous?

"Glad to see you again." He told me. I found myself staring directly into his eyes. His were looking into mine.

"Okay, well see you around." I waved at him, and left. I went back to my table. Everyone was starting to talk again. I saw everyone laughing as I came back. "So what's so funny?" I said sitting down. "Something funny Boris told us." He-retold the story for me. But he got interupted by Josh Ritcher walking by.

"Hey baby what up?" He asked.

"Umm..." I thought we were over a long time ago, buddy. I looked at Lilly she looked confused also. "Not much. And you?" I finished.

"Well you know, this...and that." Was he drunk? Cause he is definetly not acting like a human. Maybe they should take out some beer from the drinks table.

"Sweet." I nodded dumbly.

"So care to dance?" He bowed. Haha, how funny. You know bowing cause I'm a princess and all. That was so corny. But what other choise to do than say: "Sure." I took his hand as he lead me to the middle of the dance floor. Some how I felt uncomfortable. We didn't talk much. Everything was just awkward.

"So how's Genovia?" He asked. I began telling him the same story I told others. He nodded as I explain. When I was done he began.

"Want to go inside?" He asked suddenly.

"Okay." I didn't know why. We walked along the hallways of AEHS. He opened the door to a dark looking classroom. We went in and I had no idea why we were here.

"Uh, Josh?" I called.

"Yea." He said as he moved closer to me.

"What are we doing here?" Josh began kissingmy neck. "You know Mia...I always liked you. That night at the dance I didn't mean to kiss you. I really didn't...mean to...I loved you all along...but I thought..you didn't love me back." He said between kisses. I did nothing I was all confused. Where did this all come from? Was this all real?

"That's sweet, Josh." I managed to say still looking slightly looking confused. He began kissing me on the lips then he began bringing down my tank top strap. I reacted, I imediatly slapped his face, "You sicko!" I said before leaving. I headed back outside teary eyed. Just as I opened the door that led me outside I herd a deep voice.

"Mia? Is that you? Are you alright?" I turned. I saw a familiar looking man worried. I just pushed opened the door and was still followed by the man.

"It me Kenny. Kenny Showalter." He said to me. I stopped walking. And looked at him. He is so not Kenny Showalter. I mean this guy right here in front of me was hott.

"Yea right?" I said not believing him. I kept on walking.

"Yes, Mia it's me. See." He looked at me.

"Kenny?" Said carefully.

"Yep."

I stopped staring. Oh, wow. People really do clean up good over the years. "Oh hi." I gave him a quick hug.

"What's wrong?" He asked looking concerned.

"Nothing. Josh Ritcher is just drunk. You know how he gets. He was all cazy with me." Kenny had an angry face.

"Where is he?" He said. "Kenny, don't," I stopped him,"He's drunk just leave him there." Kenny forgot about it quickly and walked me back.

Michael's POV

I sitting down on a chair when Judith suddenly came walking towards me. Oh great, here she comes.

"Hey Michael!" She said as we were giving eachother hugs. I never really liked her. She was so annoying. She always was this smart mouth. Each time I would say something, she would always correct me. Making me embarrassed in front of THE COMPUTER CLUB. And yes, I still hold that grudge.

"So how've you been?" She asked. There was no point in answering cause she started talking about herself she's a scientist at a proffecional lab. God, go away Judith like I'd care.

"Oh look there's Kenny Showalter!" She said pointing at a man walking with Mia. Wait, what is Mia doing with Showalter?

"And?"

"Well I talked to him about an hour ago. He's also a scientist you know?" Then marry him then. She talks a lot. I interupted.

"Judith...it was nice talking to you. I'll see around." I got up and left a pissed Judith behind.

I walked over to where Mia was. Mia noticed me walking towards them and smiled at me. Kenny looked to what she was smiling at. He saw me then he got all mad looking.

"Hey, Mia," I grinned at her, then turned to Kenny, "Showalter." I said coldly. Mia gave me a look telling me not to have done that. Kenny was didn't say anything to me.

"Hey Mia want to go see some of our old classmates I think I saw them over there by the pool." Kenny said. "Okay then. S-see you around Michael." They went and talked to a group of people chatting. I just stared at the arm that Kenny had around her arm.

"Makes you sick, right?" Lilly said appearing beside me again. Why does she scare me like that? "No. Sure the guy looks better than his high school yearbook picture but that doesn't mean Mia's going for him."

"Right, you keep thinking that." This time she patted me on the back and left me hanging. I don't know why I'm feeling like this. I feel like punching the next man who dare lay a hand on her. I feel really weird when she's near me. And when she smiles at me and talks to me...I feel really happy. It's a complicatedthing to explain really.

Kenny slid his arm around her waist. I controled myself not to be going there and telling him get his sick hand off my girlfriend! Wait she's not my girlfriend. She used to be. We broke up end of Mia's sophomore year. You see I don't even know how we broke up. We were just so apart let's put it like that. I never saw her since. But I guess my feeling toward her never stopped. I still love her. I said it now. And I'm going to break Kenny's neck the next move he puts on her.

"Mia, how do you like it so far?" Asked Lana.

"Oh yea it's great." I said trying my best to sound enthusiastic.

"I see you're with Kenny. Wow! Hard to believe he still likes you after you guys split." What is up with Lana? I didn't do anything to her. Well maybe what happend earlier, but still!

"That was a long time ago. We're friends now." Kenny said.

"Suprise. Maybe this time you can comfort Mia. Seeing that she couldn't actually keep a boyfriend." Oh it's smart talk Lana again.

"Lana would you shut up?" I spoke up raising my voice high enough for almost eveyone to hear. They turned their heads to the huge scene I created.

"It's true." She said back.

"Oh yea I wouldn't say so Lana. How did that nasty break up with Josh go?" Lana shoot a death glare at me then she moved closer to me.

"You bitch!" She started trying to pull my hair as I tried to hold her wrists to stop her. She began a fight kicking my knee she had a very angry face on right now. I swear you'd thought it was a discovery channel speacial on the wild, if you saw her. I tried to defend myself too, I tried pushing her back. I wanted to stop so I pushed her back, where she fell in the pool. Lana shrieked and was freezing to death. Everyone gasped at what happend and looked at the Lana. Then some people burst out laughing. Lana on the other hand looked like she was about to kill someone. So she pulled me by the ankle, when I wasn't noticing, and she yanked me in to pull.

She was ready to drown me now. She kept hitting me and putting my head down in the water not making me breathe. Then a whistle went on. Principal Gupta was the one who blew it. "Alright, alright! Break it up." She yelled. "This is ridiculous, this is suposed to be a nice calm reunion, not high school again." We both came out of the water.

"I'd like you to please stop this fighting," Principal Gupta spoke. She looked at us up and down,"Then get some towels." She rolled her eyes and left.

Michael's POV

Out of all the things that Mia did to Lana in the past, this one was by far the best. Lana was all soaked, completely. What was going on back there anyway?

I came rushing to Mia. "Here you can take my jacket." I took off my jacket and put it on Mia. She smiled, "Thanks."

"Now tell me what was exactly going on back there?" I asked her. I held out my hand, asking her if she wanted to dance. She greatfully took it.

"Let's just say we had an interesting disscussion about relationships."

"Ah!" I nodded.

"So what about relationships?"

Mia paused for a second then spoke, "She started talking about my past relationships," I nodded and she continued, "You know about my boyfriends. I mean am I such a bad girlfriend? 'Cause she had a point. Why would Kenny be hanging with me. I made the guy suffer for crying out loud! I just had to say yes to him. I could of said no. But thenhe clearly knew I didn't like him. That was very very low of me.And then there's you that was going through my head. And when we broke up, that also made me feel even worse. So There I am a bad girl-" I cut her off there then I gave her a slow tender kiss on the lips. She kiss me back too.

We pulled apart,"You're not a bad girlfriend." I whispered.

"W-why'd you kiss me?" She stuttered.

"Cause I wanted to let you know you weren't a bad girlfriend at all. You're perfect. At least to me. Mia, you know I always loved you. Hopefully you do too." She slowly began to smile at me. She looked shy now. We kept dancing I could swear I herd her say, "You read my mind too well." Might be my imagination though.

"One more thing Mia." I said.

"What?"

"Don't ever go near Showalter." I saw him dancing with Judith. Judith didn't seem like she was having a good time though, with Kenny's dramatic moves on the dance floor, she just left him dancing by himself. Then on the other side you could see Josh and Lana dancing. And Josh reaching for her butt. "Josh!" she yelled. Then there's all of Mia's friends at the table... are they laughing about anyway?

"Aww isn't that cute?" Tina said.

"Looks like something familiar we've seen." Shameeka looked at the two dancing carefully. A flashback came of them at the winter dance, slow dancing. Exaclty as they were now.

"Yep. Like when they were at the dance?" Ling-Su asked.

"You know some things never change." Lilly said. All the girls looked at them one last time.

"Definetly." All of them said at the same time. They all burst out laughing.
