Saved By The Bell:High School Reunion

Back at Bayside

**NO ONE'S POV**

As Zack was driving down the highway, he kept thinking about what his wife had said. About not even calling any of their friends from high school since the wedding. Zack knew he would never intentionally shut anybody out of his life. He did promise them that they would be friends forever. Everyone was even there at his wedding. Heck, Screech and Slater were even his best men. And yet, Zack had no idea what any of his friends were up to now. What they did, where they were, and even what they looked like. Zack just hoped that no one would think he would just abandon them on purpose.

As Zack pulled up in front of the hotel they would be staying at, he took at deep breath and looked over at Kelly. Kelly did not return his glance. She was somber, hopeful for the best to come out of this weekend.

**KELLY POV**
After we settled into our hotel room and unpacked everything we needed, Zack and I got back into the car and headed to a place that was all too familiar. The parking lot rarely changed since graduation. Zack parked in the same spot he always parked in during his high school years. I remember he always parked his dirt bike and, eventually, his car in the same parking spot for 4 years. It's  front of the school, just steps away from the door. Zack cherished this spot. I also remember it was close enough to where the cheerleaders parked their cars, so Zack could always start his morning off with a good look at all those girls in their uniforms.
One of those cheerleaders, of course, was me. I remember that this parking lot was the place i saw Zack Morris for the first time since elementary school. I remember having a tiny crush on him during elementary school, even when they became great friends along with screech, Jessie, and Lisa. We were always together. It wasn't until Zack, screech, and Lisa had to move to Indiana for 6th grade. I knew he kept in touch with Jessie and I always talked to Lisa on the phone. Lisa would always talk about the new friends she's made with Zack.
During 8th grade, Lisa told me Zack had a new girlfriend he met over the summer. I was upset, but happy for him. But I always wondered if he ever thought about me. A few days later, she told me this girlfriend dumped him after finding out he lied about being in the 9th grade. On the inside, I was jumping for joy. I was daydreaming in school about the slight chance we could still be together.
Once 9th grade started, Jessie told me that screech, Lisa, and Zack were all moving back to Los Angeles to have their last 4 years of school with us. I was ecstatic. I couldn't wait. We would be spending the next 4 years of our lives as a team once again. I was hoping that on the first day, Zack would ask me out. He didn't. Though he later told me he did try. I look back and see that there were times that he did try, but we were always interrupted and I was too blind to see. It didn't help that the new kid in town, A.C Slater, came to bayside and ending up having the hots for me too. I knew he and Zack were always fighting over me. I like Slater, but I knew in my heart Zack was the one for me. Plus, Slater eventually ended up with Jessie and Zack and him became great friends. He was even Zack's co-best man at our wedding.
After the wedding, all of us slowly drifted apart. With this reunion, that was about to change. Zack parked the car and opened the door for me, like the gentleman he is. I took his hand as we walked into the place where so many memories came alive. The stairs, the lockers, the handmade posters. Nothing seemed to change.
Just then, I heard a familiar voice go "hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, HEY." Zack and I both turned to see a man with a dark suit and a double chin. I smiled as I knew that this man was our former principal, Mr.Belding. "Mr. Belding, is that you?" I asked. "Is this bayside's own Kelly Kapowski and Zack Morris?" He replied. He gave us both a big hug. Though I seemed to notice a woman that stood right next to him. She had blonde hair and looked about Belding's age. Belding sensed my confusion and said "oh, Kelly, Zack, this is Carey Bliss. She is a former colleague of mine when I was principal at a school in Indiana." "It's nice to meet you" Carey greeted as she reached out her hand, offering me to shake it. I obliged. I turned to Zack who looked like he recognized her from somewhere. "Zack, do you know her?" I asked. "Miss Bliss, what are you doing here?" He asked Carey, completely ignoring me. "It's nice to see you, too, Zack" she replied. "Can anybody tell me what's going on?" I said, getting a bit frustrated with my husband. He turned to me, finally realizing I still existed. "Kelly, this is Miss Bliss, my 8th grade teacher from when I lived in Indiana during middle school. Miss Bliss, this is Kelly, my wife" he says, introducing me to Carey. "Really? You were Zack's teacher?" I said to Carey. "That's right, he was one of my most popular students. Though not one of my best academically" Carey told me in her British accent. "Ok, now as much as I enjoy hearing this, Mr. Belding, where is everybody else at?" Zack asked before Carey could divulge into any more of what Zack was in middle school, though I seem to have a pretty good idea already. "Everyone is in the auditorium, which is where we should all probably be right now" Mr. Belding said, leading all of us to the auditorium. I took Zack's hand and we followed Mr. Belding and Miss Bliss. Now that I've met his former middle school teacher, I'm eager to see what everyone else is like now more than before.
