Class Reunion

A/N: This one falls below my usual expected standards, but since it is already written, I will just upload it.

[Class Reunion]

The small hall was filled with chatters of both genders when national TV Star Rei Matsunaga appeared at the open double-door entrance.

A short hush covered over the event as everyone turned to get a glimpse of the nationally-famous man, most disbelieving of their eyes. Everyone in attendance knew of the superstar that their ex-schoolmate had become, but his attendance to the Alumni Reunion had been a big question mark due to his busy schedule. Everyone had been cautiously hopeful, but ready for disappointment.

It was paying off now that Rei was standing just outside the hall, talking to someone who was most probably his manager. A friendly short conversation seemed to be passed between the two men outside the door, then Rei waved goodbye to his manager, a charming smile hanging on his lips as he stepped in bravely. Chatter once more began within the hall, but this time the topic was much more similar as the people already in attendance began to talk about the different aspects of what they knew about the national TV star.

Rei was pleasantly surprised to find that even though the crowd looked obviously excited to see him here, none of them had done anything too crazy to him. They were obviously respectful of his presence and personal space, and some only met his eyes timidly, exchanging smiles and nods with a super star like him.

Rei waved when he saw a table with many familiar faces, but gave them a quick gesture towards the front in wordless explanation that he had to greet the host of the event first.

He was quick to reach the ex-Student Council President who stood in front of the stage, waiting to receive him at the end of the aisle.

"President, it's great to see you again. Thank you for inviting me to this event." Rei greeted politely with a handshake. "Also, thank you very much for keeping my attendance a secret. It was a smooth journey here, mostly because no one knew that I would be attending."

"I should be the one to thank you." The President answered with an answering bright smile. "I didn't expect you to reply me, much less say that you are attending. I'm sure a star like you has your schedule packed to the brim."

"I definitely had to come." Rei answered. "My High School days were my happiest days, and I won't miss this chance to meet old friends for anything."

"Thank you once again for coming. If it's okay with you, will you oblige to give a welcome speech to everyone in attendance?" The President asked boldly –as Rei remembered the president to be. In their high school days, the President had always been a bold guy who was unafraid to say things that went against the norm. Rei did not have much interactions with the President during their schooling days since they were of different classes, but both of them had always had impressions of each other –the President being a public figure in school, and Rei being a popular guy in his class.

"I have nothing prepared, but if you will accept an impromptu speech, I am honoured to help you out." Rei answered charmingly.

He was quickly ushered up on stage, where he casted his eyes over the entire hall. It was sectioned very well with tables for different classes. From where he stood on stage, he saw his class's table clearly, and a few familiar faces that he remembered from the other classes.

The power of his fame worked for him, because he did not need to clear his throat through the mic to get the attention of the hall; they simply turned to him naturally.

"Welcome every one of the 49th batch of Kamon High to this Alumni Reunion. I am Rei Matsunaga from Class B, and I think most of you have seen or heard of me before. I'll just like to take this opportunity today that thank you all for attending today's event, and please reminisce about the memories that you have all shared in your high school days! Do stay in contact with each other even after today's meet so that we may be able to hold more reunions like these from time to time." Rei expressed sincerely, accepting the thunderous applause that came with his short speech before coming down calmly from the stage.
