That's it, they've GRADUATED!

The students sat in their seats, playing with their navy and white caps and gowns. Some turned to wave to friends and family, some whispered with classmates sitting near them, and some slouched in their chairs, ready for the ceremony to start.

It had taken four years, some felt like the time had passed in no time at all, others felt it had dragged out forever. All the winter lodge trips, boy toy auctions, homecomings, proms, dances, parties. The trips to Disney World, California, Australia. The hook ups, the break ups, the scandals. This class had been through a lot together, and this was it. The end. Graduation.

The students arrived at the Lodge mid-morning, and just like every other year, hot chocolate and cookies were waiting for them.

Troy had only been back in town for a few hours and hadn't even finished unpacking, but after wearily looking at his clothes strewn across his room, he let out a huge yawn and stretched.  He needed a bacon cheeseburger.

He had just pulled to a stop in front of Thelma' s and was climbing out of the car when he noticed a familiar blonde walking his way.  Letting out a low whistle, Troy raised an eyebrow.

"MacGreggor?  Wow, you clean up nice."

Sheila put her lunch tray down next to Hannah's and sat in the seat saved for her.

"Is it Christmas break yet?" She asked, opening her water.

"I need a holiday."

Darcy was bored. Incredibly bored. Listlessly, she picked up her cell phone that lay on her bed next to her and she sent Sheila a text.

sheils come overrrr, kk? booooooooreddddd.

Sheila needed advice, from a guy. A guy who liked some of the same things as Marty when it came to girls, and who wasn't friends with him. It didn't leave her too many options, but on her way home from detention, she had an idea.

Taking a detour, she swung by a place she hadn't dropped into in years, and rung the bell.

Stacey hated these after school detentions. They were bad every day, but even worse when it was only the four of them. The sub who normally watched them had disappeared, yet no one had said a word. None of them ever did, what would they say?

It was only when Stacey felt something hit the back of her head from behind, that she spoke up.

"Ow!" she said, turning around to glare at Sheila, who was two rows behind her. She bent over to pick up the obstruction, and saw it was a note with 'Marty' written on the outside. She glanced up at Sheila, contemplating what to do. Marty sat in front of her, and she could pass it on, but what would be the fun in that?

Stacey had had the worst night of her life, not helped by a massive hangover this morning, and haunting memories of what she had done with King. She wanted more than anything to call in sick to school, but she knew she couldn't avoid school forever, although she could avoid Austin. She'd thought she could avoid Sheila too, but when she finally saw the girl at lunchtime, in the Cafeteria, she was overwhelmed with anger, and she just couldn't stop herself. Dropping her fork, she marched over to where Sheila stood with Darcy, and gave her the deadliest look she could muster. "Are you happy now you got what you wanted?" she asked Sheila, crossing her arms, "it's what you wanted, right?"

Andi was excited to bring over the cheerleaders. It had been a while, and she had missed seeing her friends every day. Her grandmother had been reluctant to let her bring the crowd over on her birthday, because 'On birthdays seventeen year olds get drunk'. Andi sighed inwardly. She appreciated that she had somebody who cared about her but she didn't want to be smothered like this. Rosa had finally agreed to let Allen-Marie chaperone, and thus Andi had finally let her hair down. She'd arranged for a friend of her sister's to get some beer and wine, and she was ready. Now she was just waiting for her friends to arrive.

To: All the cheerleaders at SHS
Subject: Andi's birthday

Do you want to come over tomorrow and have icecream or carrots? Feel free to smuggle in alcohol BUT IT HAS TO BE CONCEALED. You have all been to my house, you know the rules. RSVP here ASAP. Sorry so last minute, it legit took me two weeks to convince the nazi.

After Marty told her to get out of his room, Sheila had started running. She ran away from his house, and kept running, even though she so wasn't in running clothes, and it was too hot. She thought she'd head home, but she couldn't. She wanted to talk to someone. She started to wards Darcy's, but found herself detouring, and ten minutes later, she was in front of a house that bought back a lot of memories. If she wasn't so crushed by what had happened at Marty's, she might have thought twice. But she felt like she needed answers, and this was the only place she would get them. Even though it wasn't the middle of the night, she went around to the back, and started throwing the little pebbles from the garden bed at his window, like she used to.

RJ had felt like Pizza. He tried not to go to Pizza Express too much, because he didn't want Darcy to think he wasn't over her. Thinking about Darcy had given him an idea though, and he texted a few people to come to Pizza Express, telling them to text the others. It was time for a good old fashioned Pizza Express get together.

It had been a few days since the party, the one that had seen her heart torn out and stomped on by Marty, and Sheila had spent all weekend in bed. If anyone knew how she felt, it was Casey, Sheila had decided after making her way through three seasons of Greek. The only difference was, Cappie was awesome and Marty sucked.

Sheila still couldn't believe she'd actually told him she was in love with him. She wasn't that kind of girl. Even when she'd dated Austin and Jacques she'd never told them she was in love with them. Not even when she'd dated Marty. And this was why, because telling a guy you're in love with him, and having him not say it back was pretty much the worst feeling in the history of the world.
