The next day, Robin woke up to his phone ringing, telling him someone was calling him. He picked up his phone without looking at the ID.
"Hello?" He answered the phone.
"Hey!" Someone spoke to the other line of the phone. Robin crushed his eyebrows because he didn't recognize the voice. He looked at the ID caller. "Are you coming to the class reunion?" Marco, his late classmate asked.
"I don't know yet." Robin sighed to him. After that, he sat up on his bed. "And you? You go?" He asked back.
"Hmm!" He answered simply. " Yeah, I want to meet the others!" Marco said. "You don't want to meet them, that's why you are still thinking about that, am I right?" He asked Robin, who just again sighed, at the thought he had to face them.
"Yeah, maybe you are right!" He gets up off his bed and straight goes to his bathroom. Between that, his thought went to Dawn and the talk that happened between them yesterday.
"But you know, if you won't show up, they are going to think that you are still not moved on from Cassandra!" Marco said. Robin washed his face and then looked in the mirror on the wall in front of him.
"Yeah, I thought about that too, but the reality is that I didn't really move on from her yet!" He answered after he dried his face and picked up his phone from the speaker and put it to his ear.
"Yeah, I somehow knew that!" Robin just sighed at his reply. His mind again went to Dawn, so he took a deep breath and said something that he was not sure yet.
"If I'm going, then I'm going with Dawn."

Dawn is doing breakfast for herself, when her phone on the dining table ding indicates to her that someone texted her. She wiped her hand and grabbed her phone to see who texted her.
Robin: Are you free?
Dawn: Yeah, why?
Robin: Can I call you?
Dawn: Yes?
She was not sure what happened and why Robin wants to talk to her. As she picked up the message call, she remembered yesterday's talk between the two of them. She thought maybe Robin want to talk to her that they are talked about the other day.
"Hey!" He spoke first after she picked up his call.
"Hey!" She answered.
"I talked with Marco some minutes ago!" He started. Dawn didn't say anything she just listened to him. "We figured out that if I don't go to the reunion, Cassandra and Jordan may be going to think that I didn't move on from her."
"But the reality is that you didn't move on from her yet!" She interrupted him.
"Yes, sadly!" He replied.
"And that's why you called me." She added. " You want me to go with you!"
"Yes, please, if it's okay to you!" He pleaded. Dawn just sighed at his reply.
"We have to act like a couple." She started. "So, we have to meet two-three times before the reunion to know each other better." Dawn said while Robin just silently listened to her. "I know we were classmates, but I don't exactly know you, and I bet you don't know me too!"
"I agree with you!" He finally replied on the other line of the phone.
"Then when do you want to meet?" She asked. "And which day are you free to go to the reunion?" She added another question. "Because I am free both of the days that Shelia wrote of the late class chat. So, I adapt to you!" Dawn said while shrugging her shoulder even though Robin couldn't see it.
"Are you at home, oor...?" He asked then some minutes later.
"Yeah, I am home." She interrupted him.
"Can I come over? Then we could talk." Robin said while he already grabbed his car key, to go to her place, if she says yes to his offer.
"Yeah, sure, I am alone, so we can talk freely!" As soon as she said it, he was out to his car to go to her place.
As soon as he appeared in front of her house, he rang the bell to inform her that he had arrived. After letting him into the house, they are set down in Dawn's room to talk there like they did at Robin's house. They talked about themselves with each other, and they settled down how they are going to behave at the reunion in front of their classmates.
After that day, they almost talked every day to get to know each other more and to be professional on the meet-up.
Before July 22, when the class reunion got settled, Dawn got to know where she was on an interview on a company that they did not select her because of some reason they accepted another girl. She didn't know what to do at that point, so she decided to text Robin to tell him, what happened to her.
Dawn: I didn't get selected to the company where I was an interview before we met at the crosswalk that day.
Dawn: And I don't know what to do now...
Dawn: I got tired of searching for a job.
She did not get an immediate answer she had to wait almost an hour to get an answer from him.
Robin: Why don't you search for a school?
Robin: I saw it on the internet that some universities accept late applicants.
Dawn immediately sat up on her bed when she saw the message from him.
Dawn: Really?!
She messaged back.
Robin didn't write anything he just sent her a link, and she instantly clicked on that.
Dawn: Thank you! 😊
Dawn: I think I will apply somewhere then.
Dawn: Anyway, how are you?
Dawn: Are you really okay that we are going to be a couple for them?
Robin: Yeah, I am sure, I have no problem with it.
Dawn: Okey then
After the conversation a week flew away and now they are arranged themselves to go to the reunion.
Because it's summer and hot the weather outside Dawn put on herself a dress that came down to mid-tight.
The dress was black on it, with some brownish leaves and a feather with a V-neck and spaghetti strap. She didn't do anything with her long brown hair she just let it out. After she put on some makeup and put in her contact lenses, she got down to put her sandals on before Robin arrives to pick her up. As soon as she straightened herself and grabbed her purse and sunglasses, she heard a honk from outside indicating that Robin arrived to pick her up. After Dawn bid goodbye to her family, she went out from the house to sit in the car beside Robin.
"Hey."
"Hey." They said hello to each other.
"You are looking beautiful!" He said to her after she put on the seatbelt.
"Thanks!" She looked at him head to toe. He was wearing a black knee breech and a simple white t-shirt. "You look good too!" Dawn said finally while looking into his eyes. He just smiled at her compliment and then started the engineer eventually to go to the reunion. Between the ride to the meet-up, they did not talk with each other, they just set in the car silently. They were a little bit nervous from the agglomerate. Fifteen minutes after, they finally arrived on the screen.
"You, okay? Are you ready?" He asked her after he stopped the car.
"I don't know if I'm ready or not. But I will manage!" Dawn took a deep breath, and then she spoke again, she looked at him. "And you? Are you ready?" She asked.
"Yeah, I think I'm ready, we talked almost every day, and we know each other enough to be professional! Besides some days ago, we started to act like a couple, so I think there is not going to be a problem!" Robin utters it while shrugged his shoulders.
"Okay, then I think we are ready to go in." She smiled at him. He nodded, and then they finally got out of the car to face their late classmate and their head teacher.
