I joined the rest of the students in the gymnasium.
Navigating past the dense crowd, I found an open seat up front.
"Excuse me, " said a handsome white-haired boy. "That's my seat."
"Sorry, " I responded.
I stood up and looked around for an empty seat.
The boy sighed.
"You can have my seat... Olivia?"
My eyes widened.
Suddenly, he reminded me of another boy.
A boy called Jason whom I used to play with.
He was my only friend.
One day, his mom and him moved away.
Appearantly his parents had split.
Never had I expected to reunite with him like this.
"Jason?" I asked.
The boy flashed me a radia
nt smile.
"So, you are Olivia?"
I sat back down and flashed him a smile.
"The one and only!"
Jason chuckled.
"I didn't think that I'd ever see you again."
"Mr. Zapata, " a woman snapped, her icy-blue eyes directed at us.
"I'll go find a seat, " Jason said nervously.
How did she even know his name?
Had they met before? Perhaps at some summer camp that I hadn't heard about?
Jason waved goodbye as I switched my attention back to the giant stage.
After the entrance ceremony, I looked for Jason.
However, I found myself caught by the sea of students heading for the exits.
"You okay?" asked a voice.
