I stepped closer to the mirror, running my hands through my long, curly black hair. I blinked several times before looking at my teeth, not seeing any braces. I ran my tongue over them, looking at the rest of my body. I actually had boobs! I was skinny and short, but I had some boobs now! I smiled slightly and looked around the room again, seeing a blue graduation cap and gown hanging on my closet door.

I raised an eyebrow and jumped, hearing a buzzing fill the room. I glanced towards where it was coming from, seeing a weird looking phone lighting up on my nightstand. Stepping towards it, I saw the name 'Gwen' popped up. Gwen Stacy? As in, the most popular girl in school? I quickly picked it up, seeing 'Slide to Answer'. Doing so, I held the phone up to my ear, "Hello?"

"Maddie! Where are you? Graduation starts in an hour."

"Graduation?"

"Were you out drinking last night? Yes, graduation!"

I gasped quietly before hanging up the phone. I'm graduating and I don't remember the past four years of my life.. Was I still friends with Peter? I shook my head and went to the bathroom, staring at all the makeup and hair products scattered along my sink. Well.. This is going to be fun.

I stepped around all the people walking towards the chairs set up outside in front of a stage. I bit my glossed lip and looked around. Where do I go? 

"Maddie!" 

I turned quickly, seeing an older looking Gwen Stacy running towards me. I smiled and waved, "Hey."

"I love how you did your makeup!" she smiled brightly, "It looks great. Let's go get our seats."

I mumbled a quick thanks as we walked towards the very front of the seats, sitting near the middle. I looked around, seeing a lot of unfamiliar faces. Am I friends with some of these people? What even happened in the past four years? I sighed quietly and fixed my curls, looking through everyone to see if Peter was here. What did he look like now?

"Have you seen Peter?" Gwen suddenly asked, "He won't answer his phone."

"Um.. No.." I frowned, raising an eyebrow, "I thought you didn't like him."

"What?" she laughed, "I sort of have to. We're dating."

"Dating?!"

"You act like you didn't know this." she stated, raising an eyebrow, "Are you okay? Have you been smoking pot again? You know how I feel about that, Madison."

"What? No, I haven't. Again?"

She leaned towards me, "You're not acting like you. What's going on?"

"I'm suppose to be a freshman." I stated quietly, "I remember being in my basement and you tricked me into thinking Flash was going to be in the closet, then Peter appeared and you left.. Then I made a wish. I wished I could graduate and not have to deal with anything like that." I said quickly, staring into her eyes the whole time so she knew I was telling the truth.

She blinked and shook her head, "You're high."

"I am not high!" I practically yelled, causing people to stop and look in our direction.

Gwen sighed quietly, "Look, I don't know what's going on, but you do act like you don't remember anything that's happened. I believe you."

"Really?"

She nodded, "I have to make my speech in a few minutes then when all of this is over, we can head back to my place and figure out what's going on."

I smiled and nodded, sitting back, "So, where's Peter?"
*~*~*~*~*~*~

Gwen's speech was over and Peter's name was getting ready to be called, but there was still no sign of him. I looked around again, not even seeing anyone that looked remotely like him. I let out a sigh, hearing his name being called out. I turned back towards the stage, the principal repeating his name. Suddenly, a tall, brown pulled back in his graduation cap, skinny, but with what looked like some muscles guy ran onto the stage, his backpack hitting his back.

I blinked. No way was that Peter. My eyes widened as he dipped Gwen down, kissing her. I cleared my throat quietly and looked down at my lap for a second before looking back up. I missed so many things in these past four years..
