"are you ready? do you think people will even remember each other?" liya asks as i do my makeup. "mm, who knows. i hope so."

"DO YOU REMEMBER MADDY? i wonder what happened to her." "probably still with jordan. i don't know." i shrug.

"ooo, you're gonna see your highschool boyfriend." i hear liya giggle. "whatever. we ended on bad terms anyways. highly doubt i'll even recognize him." and boy was i right.

i throw my makeup into my drawer and look for my shoes. "you're not wearing a dress? you were best dressed in highschool?"

"liya, i'm like twenty eight. i'm not wearing a dress. i WAS best dressed, TEN years ago." i raise an eyebrow at my roommate and bestfriend.

"no, you're putting on a dress. you're gonna show these people that you still got it and that you haven't aged a bit. NOW GO!" she shooes me towards the bathroom.

"ma'm- this is fine. i don't need my ass hanging out anyways. now let's go!" i grab the keys off the wall.

we enter the old high school building, many women wearing dresses, men wearing tuxedos. "told you, you should've worn a dress." liya whispers. i side eye her and go towards the gym where everybody else is.

the school looks the same, medals won by our graduating class in the showcase, the classrooms still small, and the same 'school' smell.

we walk into the gym earning a few stares and whispers from people. mkay? "uhm who are you? i don't recognize you." some girl walks up to me, stickers in her hand.

"i'm y/n... you?" "Y/N? you look so good. i'm devyn. this is a sticker with your name so people know who you are." she smiles while handing me my name tag.

i look around, most of the people i recognize. "LIYA? Y/N?" a voice says behind us making me turn around. "jordan!" liya squeals.

they used to date throughout highschool and college but it didn't work out. "y/n?" why is everybody calling my name.

i slowly turn back around and see kio, jordan h, and maddy. "you still look the same!" maddy engulfs me into a tight hug that i gladly return.

"hey jordan." i hug him next. "you haven't aged in the past ten years." he laughs. "i could say the same for all of you. you're a model?" i ask.

"yup!" "proud of you. it's something you always wanted since highschool."

kio hasn't said anything but stare at me. "hey kio." i break the awkward tension between us. "hey y/n."

"you know whatever happened between us was in freshmen year, right? i'm over it. i don't care that you cheated. wait- that sounds so-" "you're fine." he laughs. "i'm gonna roam around the school, see what's still the same." i excuse myself, walking out the gym.

i roam through the halls, going to the athletic part of the school. i notice all my medals from track and cheer are still hanging.

"i don't think i've ever seen you before? did you come senior year or something?" a semi-deep voice behind me. "no. i've been here since freshmen year." i'm facing the man. somehow, i can't recognize who he is. he looks familiar but i can't put my finger around it.

"oh. i'm v-" he gets cut off by the microphone in the gym telling everybody to make their way to the front of the stage.

the two walk back to the gym, the old friend group gasping at the fact both vinnie and y/n walked in together.

"do you think-" "i don't think they know. maybe vinnie knows it's y/n. but i don't think y/n knows it's vinnie." j says.

"hey graduating class of (your graduating class), i'm glad to see most of you guys could make it. it's dezi and i just wanna point out the few honorable and well known people we used to have in school!"

they're now announcing the last two categories. "as we ALL know, the best dressed is and still is y/n y/l/n!" everybody cheers as the spotlight hits y/n. she gives a small smile still not liking all the attention on her.

"finally, the cutest couple!! now, whoever we announce, i want you guys to come up here and accept the crowns just like you did on prom."

y/n and vinnie both know they're about to be called. however, y/n still hasn't realize that her highschool sweetheart is standing right next to her.

"Y/N Y/L/N AND VINNIE HACKER!" everybody cheers and claps loudly as they walk onto stage. y/n looks behind her and, now, realizes it's vinnie. she stares at him baffled, he's changed. she seriously didn't notice him.

"go in the middle and dance." dezi pushes the two. vinnie holds his hand out, y/n grabbing it. they both make their way to the middle as their song plays.

"you didn't tell me it was you earlier." "ehh. i'd figure you'd realize it's me. i heard you're a doctor." vinnie smiles proudly. he knows how much and how hard the woman worked to become a doctor.

"yeah and you're a social media influencer and model? if i'm correct." "you are." he chuckles. his hands rest on y/n's upper hip while her arms are on his shoulders.

the exes admire eachother, both of them wondering what would've happened if they were still together. what would've happened if the situation ended differently.

vinnie can't help himself, he softly places his lips onto her lips catching y/n off guard. however, she slowly kisses him back, everybody cheering.

the old friend group smiles at the two. "i knew they were gonna kiss." "i knew it too! there's no way they didn't have some love for each other still." troy and liya say proudly.

y/n realizes what she's doing and stops herself. "yeah- uh. i gotta breathe- i." she backs away and rushes out the gym. vinnie watches as she walks out, guilt rising in him. he's never forgave himself for what he did. vinnie didn't realize how much of an impact it had on y/n and how she planned her adulthood.
