BECK STEPPED OUT of the car, eyes traveling over the parking lot as everyone slowly migrated inside. Stilinski slid out of the driver's seat, checking to ensure he had everything as Tessa and Malia slammed their doors shut. Luka smiled as he glanced around at his surroundings, his hand picking at the sleeves of the button-up shirt Beck had managed to get him into.

Next to them, Melissa stepped out of her own car. Liam and Mase closed their car doors before heading towards their friends. Meanwhile, Parrish slowly made his way over with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face.

Smiling, Beck gave her boyfriend a quick peck on the cheek even though she had seen him fifteen minutes ago at the McCall residence where the group had met. Liam smiled at the kiss before turning towards his best friend, allowing Beck to look around before noticing Malia giving the crowd a longing look.

Beck approached her cousin with a sad smile before rubbing a hand against her arm. "Hey, it's okay Malia. All you have to do is get through summer school then you will be graduating too."

Malia sighed looking down at Beck. "But I won't be able to have all this like everyone else."

"Hey, don't worry about that," Beck said as she laced her finger through Malia's, giving her hand a comforting squeeze. "We'll have our own graduation ceremony for you. And it will be twenty times better than this, just for you. You just have to get through summer school."

Sighing again, Malia glanced around before nodding her head. The two Hale girls shared a smile before approaching their small group as they gathered together.

"Okay, do we have everybody?" Stilinski asked as he glanced over the group, tickets for entrance into the graduation ceremony in his hand.

Melissa glanced down at her phone as she nodded her head. "Natalie should already be inside. Rafael just texted saying he's a few minutes away and'll meet us inside. And I think I saw Dr. Deaton over by the entrance. We're just missing Chris."

Beck and Tessa cringe, still trying to get used to Argent being called by his first name. It had become such a habit for them to hear the reformed hunter called by his last name. They also tried to get used to Melissa and Argent's new relationship status. They and the rest of their friends. Especially Scott. But they were all glad that the two adults were happy.

Sharing a look, the two girls shook their heads with light giggles.

"Well, he did say he would be here, right? So, should we wait for him out here or meet him inside?" Stilinski asked, unsure as he glanced around the parking lot for the other man.

Melissa only shrugged as she checked her phone, holding it up to her ear.

"No way," Tessa gasped, grabbing everyone's attention. The freckled-faced girl stared out to the parking lot, her eyes focused on an approaching figure.

When everyone else recognized the figure, they released gasps and cries of joy. None as loud as the small blonde.

"ISAAC!" Beck screamed before breaking out into a run.

Isaac Lahey released a chuckle as the small blonde tackled him in a hug. He lifted her off her feet, spinning around as he held her tight to his chest. Once he finished, Isaac returned Beck to the ground.

"Oh my God, I can't believe you're here," Beck squealed as she looked up at Isaac.

He looked good. His curly blond hair had grown a couple of inches, and he had a little more muscle on his body. There was a noticeable peach fuzz along the bottom half of his face that curved upwards with his wide smile. But he still had his blue eyes, eyes that sparkled with joy as the rest of the group approached to welcome him back.
