Graduation Day, what most highschool seniors look forward to all year, but Daniel Seavey was not most highschool seniors.

He had done the majority of senior year online and was in the middle of living his dream in LA with his band, but graduation day meant that he had to take a break and head back to his old school.

Now, it wasn't all bad. There were some friends, like Angi, that Daniel was excited to see along with his family, but sadly school hasn't always been the nicest place for him. He wasn't looking forward to seeing the old bullies that laughed and poked fun of him for getting voted off Idol and teased him as he tried to keep his music career going.

Would they let up now that Daniel was apart of a growing group or would the torment have built up over the time he was gone? He was not eager to find out but got ready to face the music as the time for his flight grew closer and closer.

Daniel was sitting in his room grabbing the last things he needed and put them into his carry on.

"Daniel, you ready?" Jonah's voice traveled to Daniel's room, reminding him that it was time to leave.

Daniel made his way downstairs to say goodbye to the boys who were home. Jack was currently on a flight back from Pennsylavian since he had gone home for graduation. Daniel wouldn't see him until he got back from Oregon.

"Bye! You have to tell me what to expect when you come back." Corbyn said, giving Daniel a hug.

"I can't wait till I graduate!" Zach gave Daniel a hug while everyone silently laughed.

"Focus on finishing sophomore year first."

Daniel went and put his bags in the car before getting in the passenger side as Jonah went into the driver's seat.

"So, are you excited?"

Daniel looked a little hesitant, "I guess?"

"Bro, when I graduated I was ecstatic!"

"I know, I'm just a little anxious to see everyone again. I didn't really tell anyone that I was leaving and yeah, I've seen my friends and family on break but it's gonna be different to see all my old classmates."

Daniel had told the boys before about how he used to be bullied so it wasn't a huge shock for Jonah to learn the Daniel was scared, but he still wished that Daniel wasn't.

"This is your stop." Jonah helped Daniel get his bag out from the back of the car before giving him a hug.

"See you in a few days."

As Daniel watched the clouds roll by throughout the flight, he could feel himself getting more excited at the prospect of seeing his friends again.

He walked to baggage claim after getting off the plane.

"Oh my god! It's Daniel from Why Don't We!" Daniel turned around at the sounds of teenage girl screams. He was surrounded by about 30 limelights all asking for pictures and videos. People around him started to stare.
