Thirteen years later...
"Russell!" A sweet voice from the kitchen called out her husband. "What is it honey?" "Breakfast is ready!"
Russell, a grown up man who had a family of his own smiled at his wife, Rebecca, who was apparently pregnant. He tapped her stomach and smiled. "Are you feeling well?"
"Yes I am" she smoothed her tummy as she was in laughter. "Anyway, you need to pack Gina's lunchbox before she goes to school and you also need to go to work. Oh! And don't forge-" Russell tapped his finger to her lips. "It's alright". He took a sip of coffee and a dap fell down his coat.
"Oh! Russell!" She gave him a disappointed look. "You have to understand that you are late!"
Her husband wiped a handkerchief on the brown stain and laughed more than Rebecca.
A small girl with soft but messy brown hair ran up to them. "Mummy! Daddy!" She cried giving them two sticks. "Huh? What's this for Gina?" Russell asked. "It's for the stick parade!"
Rebecca and Russell looked at each other and then to their child. They knew that she was only five years old and was ready for her first day of kindergarten.
Rebecca smiled at Russell as he dumped a sandwich inside a small love heart box.
"Ok Gina, time to go".
Gina held Russell's hand tight as they were exiting through the front door.
They drove from their ordinary home to the school. "Here you go Gina" Russell said. He looked up at the sign above Gina and himself.
BENNINGTON CITY PUBLIC SCHOOL
He then left.
"Hi Russell" a familiar voice said. "H-h-hi. How do you know my name?" "Remember me? Your best friend at school. Until I left to move in Bennington City". Russell then understood that it was his old friend Geoffrey. When he left thirteen years ago, Russell forgot him and continued on with life.
"So, how was the new girl Rebecca? Did she love you back or was she like Alexandria?" "We're married". He then remembered in kindergarten he did have a crush on Alexandria but only for three days. She punched him real hard that he gave up and crushed his hopes of love.
"Ok... How about other things?" Geoffrey asked. "I'm invited to work dumbo" Russell smacked Geoffery's head. "Oh and I won't forget about my invitation to Junis's singing concert". "You're gonna be totally famous Russell!" Geoffrey exclaimed. "Thankyou Geoffrey but I better go now!"
