Okay cool

(Okay so I'll use this random character for just starting it all, I don't think she'll be in that much later so I won't make any temp for her)

Katy tapped the podium loudly. Her hands were shaking and so did the papers she was holding. She cleared her throat, nervously looking out over the crowd of old classmates below her. "Can I have everyones attention for a moment, please?"

It took a few seconds, but eventually the crowd got silent. Katy tried to smile at them. "Hi, everyone. I hope you all remember me," she joked, laughing at bit. "And I want to welcome you all back to this school tonight! Tonights activities will vary from games to conversating about old times, and I hope you will all enjoy yourselves!" Katy hated standing on stage.

Hayden turned towards the stage as Katy began speaking. He recognized her from the class even though he had never talked to her much. He hadn't gotten much of a chance to talk to anyone yet but scanning the crowd there were quite a few people he recognized.

Robin looked around. A few people he recognized, some he felt like he didn't know at all. He wasn't really in the mood for this. He had had a fight with Felix just before he left the apartment, a pretty bad one. But… it was still good to be back with all his old friends. His old enemies too.

Karen saw Robin and grinned, sidling up. "Hiiii," she purred. "How are you?" She twisted a strand of her blond hair around her finger, an old habit.

(Wow that's creepyness on high level)
"Um," Robin took a step away from her, trying not to seem rude. "I'm fine, Karen. How about you?"

"Oh, I've been great! I got married!" She held up her hand to show two rings with large diamonds. "He's really rich," she whispered. "Are you and Flixie-whats-his-face still together?" Karen hoped she didn't sound rude, but she really couldn't remember the boy's name. Well, not boy anymore, she reminded herself.

"That's great for you! I'm happy for you. Yeah, Felix and I are still together. We live together, too." He thought about the fight. He didn't really feel like Karen was the right person to tell about it, but he needed to vent a bit. "Honestly, things are not that good between us at the moment."

"Aw, do you wanna tell me about it?" Karen asked with genuine concern. They didn't need people breaking down. High school was over, and they'd all had plenty then. "I won't tell anyone. Promise." She tugged at her hair, and then released it, not wanting to pull out her extensions.

"I don't know, I just…" Robin sighed and looked down to the ground, twisting his hands. "We had this huge fight over some things. Right before I left for this. I guess I'm just not entirely over it yet."

"Oh," Karen said. Frantically, she scanned the area for an escape. "I…have to go to the bathroom. Bye now!" With that, she ran off, grateful for an excuse to not say anything else.

Robin looked after her. Weird, he thought.

Hayden stayed at the edge of the room near the wall, he was standing using his cane at the time which meant he wasn't very sturdy. He glanced over at his wheelchair which he had left by the wall, he tried to walk as much as he could but he still needed his wheelchair most of the time. Maybe I shouldn't have come at all He thought.

Robin looked around the room once more. He saw a familiar figure by the wall. "Hayden!" He smiled at the other boy. "You can walk, dude! What happened?!"

He turned toward the person that was talking to him. "Hey Robin! Surgery and lots of physical therapy." He laughed lightly "What are you up to these days?"

Robin smiled warmly at him. "That's awesome, man. Congrats. About me… pretty much the same as before. I work as a barista at the local starbucks, and I share an apartment with Felix. You know, my boyfriend."

"Oh right, it's nice to hear you guys are still together!" He smiled.

Robin smiled too. "Yeah. We're having some trouble right now, but I think it'll be fine. How about you? What's going on in your life?"

"Honestly not a whole lot." He laughed lightly "I'm currently working night shift as a hotel clerk."

Robin nodded. "That's cool. I assume you get to meet a bunch of cool people?"

"Yeah, it's usually not very busy though being the night shift. Mostly workers and some…interesting people." He laughed lightly "What about you, Starbucks must be kind of a stressful place to work?"
