[b]Flashback Mentions:[/b] [@Lady Amalthea] [@foxygen][/center][hr]
It was prom night and it was one of the biggest nights of their senior year. Kai had never thought he’d get a senior prom considering how many times he had been held back and denied entry to it due to his previous behaviours throughout high school. He looked to Ada and smiled warmly at her as she stretched up to kiss him before she disappeared to do the announcements. He buried his hands deep in his pants pockets and grinned sheepishly as he watched Ada walk away. 

Usually Ash would have been in the group with Kai, Marc and Ada but considering who she was dating right now she was currently standing across the dancefloor from them. She knew that Kai and Marc weren’t Atlas’s biggest fans and she wanted them to enjoy their night even if she did miss hanging with them. There would be time for that later though, right now she was spending her time with her date.

Kai was soon brought back to his senses after watching Ada walking away by an elbow jabbing his ribs. A smirk crossed his face and he stuck his tongue out at Marc before letting out a deep, belly laugh. [color=CC2500]“Aaah maan, you’re just jealous since you and Ash decided to just be friends. You could’ve had a date for tonight, if you could just open up to the poor girl.”[/color] He slung his arm around Marc’s shoulders and gave him a bro-hug sideways shake. He was just jesting really but there was some truth behind his words. Clearly Marc’s best bud had absolutely no idea that Marc had another lady in mind to be his date for the evening. 

As Ada began her speech, Kai watched her from his spot on the floor. He fixed his [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/23/2d/42/232d42b5894b0a84c08d2ddec27eb1f5.jpg]shirt and suit jacket[/url] to make himself as smart as possible for his beautiful girl. She had such poise and presence, he didn’t know what he had done to deserve her but he knew that she meant the world to him. He’d do absolutely anything for her. He chuckled at the comments about Mr. Black, one of his favourite teachers, he’d miss that guy. Snorting at Marc’s comment, Kai muttered right back to him. [color=CC2500]“I’ll never be as bad as Black-attack. Plus I’m off the stuff now man.”[/color] He gave Marc a playful, feigning punch to the ribs for his jesting comment. [color=CC2500]“A low blow for a low blow!”[/color]

Ash grinned and clapped, smiled and laughed at all the right moments of Ada’s little speech she was so happy watching Ada on stage and if Ash won the crown she’d be even happier that it was Ada up there and not someone who was fake and only pretend to care that she’d won. That wasn’t what Ashley wanted from her crowning moment of glory.

Ada began to announce who had won the crown for Prom King and Prom Queen. Kai was torn between applauding as loudly as he could for Ash or to glare stony faced at Ass-tas as he mounted the stage with Kai’s friend walking with him hand in hand. Ashley was ecstatic at winning the crown, Kai could clearly see that. Walking forward excitedly, Ash had to stop herself from crying. She bundled the off-white chiffon skirt of her [url=http://inspiredresses.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/f0ku6b-i.jpg?906be7]prom dress[/url] and made her way up the stairs towards her best friend. [color=crimson]“Hey cutie! Thank you so much…”[/color] She beamed at Ada as she took her place on the stage.

[color=CC2500]“Well it wasn’t fucking me.”[/color] Kai rolled his eyes and growled under his breath as he watched Ass-tas dragging Ash up the stage behind him. He had no idea why Ash and Marc had chosen to just be friends before Prom had happened. It would have been nice if they’d been able to come as a foursome instead of the haphazard mess that they were right now. He hated seeing Ash with Ass-tas but she was her own woman and could take care of herself that much he knew.

Ducking down gracefully, Ash let Ada place the crown on her head and she gave her friend an excited and warm hug before she took Atlas by the hand and stood with him, waiting for the netting to drop the balloons and streamers before they gave their thankful speeches and then had their first dance as King and Queen.

That’s when everything changed. Kai watched Ada’s face shifting into something he had never seen before. He took a half step forward and watched her with concern on his face as Ada screamed. He turned to look to where she was pointing and he froze. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Who would do such a thing? Sure Simone had never been the most beloved person in the school but she didn’t deserve [i]this[/i]. Once again Marc’s words brought him out of his headspace and he ran to the stage to be by Ada’s side. 

The scream was deafening for Ashley and she covered her ears before turning to look at Ada. She saw her pointing behind Ashley and that is when Ashley saw the look on Ada’s face. Reluctantly, Ashley turned to see what had scared Ada so much and that is when she saw her. Simone. 

Ash began to scream with Ada and she crumpled to the floor, her legs too weak with shock to keep her upright. Sure she had hated Simone but Ashley had never seen anything like this. She didn’t think anyone deserved this. Kai was by Ada’s side, his hands brushing her hair out of her face as he blocked her vision with his wide frame. [color=CC2500]“Ada, babe, look at me. Keep your eyes on me, okay? Let’s get you and Ash out of here. C’mon…”[/color] His deep, warm tone waivered slightly as he thought about what he had just seen. He kept a gentle hand on the side of Ada’s face and stroked her cheek gently with his thumb.

He reached behind himself, too afraid to turn around in case he was struck with horror again, and grabbed for Ashley’s shoulder. [color=CC2500]“C’mon Ash, you don’t have to look. We’re leaving.”[/color] Ash grabbed Kai’s hand and let him lead her and Ada out of the Gym, away from the ensuing commotion.

Two cars pulled into the Grimm High parking lot at exactly the same time. One was a slightly beaten up, brown coloured Chevrolet [url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e8/Chevrolet-CK.jpg]C/K pick-up truck[/url] that made the odd chugging, cough noise that a car that is close to dying out makes when it’s been forced to drive some distance. The other was a crimson red, [url=https://s3.graphiq.com/sites/default/files/4315/media/images/2015_Ferrari_California_T_2dr_Convertible_39L_8cyl_Turbo_7AM_5372303.jpg]2015 Ferrari California T-Convertible[/url] with the roof down and a woman with shades, rosy lips and dazzling blonde hair cropped to just below her jawline. The truck palmed its horn at the Ferrari and the woman simply looked over and beamed a wide smile. They both pulled up, side by side, into vacant spaces before switching their engines off.

A large and lumbering Kai climbed out of the truck, a hand running through his short hair before scratching the back of his head. He adjusted his [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/f0/cf/77/f0cf77f4435915f52413ca3e084442fd.jpg]scarf and jacket collar[/url] as he shut the truck door behind him. He beamed and jogged round to the convertible and scooped up his old friend in a giant bear hug. Ashley squealed and giggled, her legs and arms flailing feebly in his strength. [color=crimson]“Kai! God damn, put me down or you’ll wrinkle my dress!”[/color] She was laughing despite her stern tone.

[color=Cc2500]“Oh sorry, my bad! It’s just so good to see you, Ash! Missed your stupid little face.”[/color] He potted Ash on the tip of her nose with his finger and she wrinkled it at his touch. Her smile remained however. She attempted to smooth out her [url=http://www.gotceleb.com/wp-content/uploads/celebrities/taylor-swift/the-late-show-with-david-letterman-in-new-york-city/Taylor-Swift-at-Late-Show-with-David-Letterman--10-662x1230.jpg]dress[/url] and gave Kai a playful punch on the arm when she realised that it was beyond all hope. She gave another light tap on his trunk of an arm. [color=crimson]“You said you’d call me when you arrived in town, dummy. What happened?”[/color]

Kai screwed up his face, closing his left eye as he avoided Ashley’s gaze. [color=cc2500]“I-I just… forgot, I’m sorry. Don’t be mad… I need you to buffer for me…”[/color] His voice trailed off as his thoughts drifted towards memories of Ada. He hadn’t seen her in ten years and, truth be told, he was absolutely terrified to face her again. He was sure that she hated him, she had to, especially after all these years and how he had ended things. He hadn’t even tried to see if they would work leading different lives but, too little too late.

He swallowed the butterflies away and looked Ash square in her judging little face. She sighed and placed her hands on her hips, shaking her head. [color=crimson]“I don’t get how you two managed to not talk in ten years. You both still have the closest friends that you had in school while you were together and yet, still, nothing? It’s just plain unhealthy, y’know?”[/color] She rose her hands at her sides and let them drop back down, bouncing against her hips. 

She sighed again and shook her head before leaning into her car and grabbing [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/2e/54/0f/2e540f31c180fb3295e1c2b02368490f.jpg]a pair of heels[/url] from the passenger seat. She slipped off her sneakers, putting them in place of the heels in her car and slipped her heels on instead. [color=crimson]“Shall we get this show on the road then? I’m sure plenty of the others are here already.[/color] She gave an encouraging smile to Kai who had been standing looking towards the gym hall with a worried look on his face. [color=cc2500]“Yeah, sure. Hey, feeling nostalgic?”[/color] A playful tone entered his voice and Kai grinned mischievously as he ducked down, patting his back with his hands.

Ashley burst out laughing and nodded, before running and jumping on his back. Her dress was already creased so it didn’t matter what she did now. She grabbed her [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/18/48/16/18481619dd8e1bd5f6909baf98bf8941.jpg]purse[/url] and clicked her key fob to close up her car and lock it as they made their way to the gym hall. 
[color=cc2500]“You aren’t worried some paparazzo will notice you acting like a big kid with an old school friend and misconstrue it for you cheating on your current boyfriend?”[/color] He poked fun at her as he carried her towards the doorway to the hardest encounter he had had in ten years. [color=crimson]“Pffffft, no. Besides Al knows I’m faithful and true and that’s all that matters. Gossip mags and tabloid papers can’t ruin what we’ve got!”[/color] She nudged his head with hers as her chin rested on his shoulder. [color=crimson]“Besides, Al has seen the picture of us at Honolulu beach! He know you’re like my brother.”[/color] The pair started laughing as they approached the doors.

Ash slipped down from his back and adjusted her dress and hair. She placed a hand on the handle and got ready to open it up. [color=crimson]“Ready?”[/color] Kai swallowed hard and gave a single nod. Ashley opened the door and stomped inside with a model, runway look that she had perfected over her years in the industry. Kai trailed in behind her, his shoulders back and chest pushed out as confidently as he could fake it. Ashley stopped, legs slightly apart, one hand on hip and the other raised in the air. [color=crimson]“I’m back bitches! Miss me?”[/color] She gave her usual award winning smile and took in the crowd. She noticed Hye standing quite close bye and she ran over and hugged her.

Kai shuffled off to the side, letting all eyes land on Ash. He wasn’t ready for this. He stood for a moment before shuffling back out the way they had come in right as Ash ran off to cuddle Hye. He was happy to see most of the people here but he needed help. More than what Ash could provide. Once he was outside he grabbed a bundle from his inside jacket pocket and lit it up. He needed something to calm his nerves, he couldn’t do this without it.

Jas was ecstatic when Ada agreed to help her and the perfect first patsy arrived within moments. Granted, her blood began to boil but she kept it hidden beneath her wondrous façade like the amazing lawyer that she was. The usual faux-charm oozed from Atlas Sterling as he pretty much ignored Ada and kept his eyes on Jas. She smiled, nodded and giggled in all the right places and right as she took a breath to respond to his inane and irksome prattling, everyone began to arrive. 

Jae-Kwoon Park arrived first and Jas gave him a smile and wave in greeting. He’d been pretty decent to Jas, all things considered, during high school so there was no bad blood there. Then Riley Ridgeway entered the room, her pink streaks bright under the fluorescent gym lighting, Jas took her outstretched hand and shook it firmly. Valencia Grey was next, she rolled in looking like a babe despite being a pro-athlete, and she hadn’t lost the ability to dress herself. Jas continued the pageantry motions of smiling and waving to people as Ada introduced her, pretending like she didn’t know them but making sure to not ignore anyone that entered the fray.

Just when things seemed like they were going to settle down some, a scream sounded out calling for Ada from the direction of the ladies’ room. Jas turned and saw someone that she never thought she would see again. Cynthia McMillan. She knew what had happened to her, she knew she’d been released and Ada had warned Jas that she would be at the reunion but she never truly believed that she would come.

Her face registered shock, but there was hardly any concern there. Catching herself, Jas placed a furrow in her brow and gave her best look of worry. She didn’t have a score to settle with Cynthia. Despite her deep seated dislike for the girl, she had suffered enough. There was nothing more that Jas could do to Cynthia that would make her sorry for how she had treated people in high school.
Jas then noticed Hye-Eun Song entering the gym hall and gave another smile and a wave. She was happy to let Ada deal with Cynthia, she had no intentions of getting mixed up in whatever guilt trip that Ada felt towards the woman. 

Then, not moments after Hye had entered than Ashley Cunningham made her grand entrance. Of course that woman wouldn’t do anything by half measures and [i]of course[/i] she still looked like a supermodel. God, Jas had hoped she’d at least have put a few pounds on or something but no, bitch was looking better than ever. Jas perked an eyebrow and tried not to roll her eyes at the spectacle. That’s when she spotted Kai Malana, her high school crush. He was looking way better than he ever did in high school, [i]waaaay[/i] better. 

She had to stop her jaw from dropping but she spied him leaving just as quickly as he had entered. She wondered what had caused him to leave suddenly but maybe he was just taking a call or something? She shrugged and turned back to Atlas, smiling once again but a little more subdued this time after Cynthia’s outburst. She hadn’t said anything since anyone had arrived but she had no real need to do so just yet. Sure, Atlas had asked her a question but considering the disturbance he no doubt forgot what he had even asked or that he had even been speaking to her.
