"Your turn Christina! Now you are supposed to confess." Cassandra, demanded as she completed her confession.

Reunions are best. Meeting your friends after a long time is such a great treat.

They all had this tradition since they graduated from school.

It wasn't like any common reunion, where you decide a day and venue and meet at a big restaurant, talk about you and your career, remember old memories, both hilarious and sweet. Then listen that how much you've changed over these years and bring gifts for each other from the places you've lately visited. Such a showoff.

Then show pictures and click some and at last have some drinks, go for a long drive or walk, exchange new numbers and promise that you would stay in touch. But believe me! They are mostly fake promises.
Then at last say goodbye and hug each other.

Thiers reunion is a bit different.
Actually a lot different.
They keep it for a week, yes, in their old town, near to their school. Actually, they all have a small house made there and they meet over there every year.

Stay together and make supper together, look at silly old pictures, play various games and some old games. Talk about all the world's tragedy you've faced in the last year. Tell 'em how your boss is or give them an idea about what kind of boss you are.

Talk about your old relationships and how your ex's new girlfriend looks like, show your friends your ex's pictures and cry all over them. Keep saying that you are all over the situation but end up telling your tragedy.

Each second is like a party. It all feels so home. Just like the old days.

"Okay! Christina now tell us the truth! Who are you actually dating?" Cassandra asked.

Cassandra Wells. Bossy but beautiful. Leader personality and presently working well of a good build firm. Also, a big-mouthed person and really determined person. She loves sarcasm.

She blushed and tried to flush away the topic and said: "Do you really think that I'm dating anyone?"

They all gave her a dead stare and Cassandra said "We don't think that" she relaxed her body "actually we firmly believe that" she said as she banged her fist on the table almost shaking everybody.

Christina Davis. What a sweet and shy girl she is. And yes, very innocent in topics like dating and romance.
Her friends tried so much to literally give off some knowledge about a term called 'romance'.
Alas, she has always been a stupid nerd.

Christina sat there frozen, mechanically. Only when Ray entered the room, she seemed to melt.
He sat next to her and put his one arm across her waist and the other one holding her hand.

They all sat there surprised and shocked. Their expression was just as same as when you realise 'that today is your maths test and you have studied physics'.

Actually, anyone would have responded like that, when a dumb romance girl is folded in the arms of 'once a handsome playboy, back in school'.

Cassandra, with a choked throat, asked her "Spill it, now."

"Nothing to worry about. Actually, our dumbance is ruling this handsome guy's heart." Ray told as he pointed himself out.
"Uh handsome who? " Christina shot back.

They all started laughing at it.

Raymond Mathews. Used to be the biggest flirt earlier but now committed and serious working gentleman. Gets angry easily thou. Also, humorous and adventurous.

"Yikes! I thought that Ray was dating Riley!"Cassandra said.

"Me? Not at all!" Riley blurted out. "Actually I thought that something is going between you two. And see now I was literally right!" Riley said again.
