Chapter 1 Somethings Off

"Well... I gotta go to the gathering I guess..."

I went out my house to go to the gathering. It was a special day. All of us highschool buddies will gather in a private 5 star restaurant. Surprised? No? Well, one of my buds just became a Billionaire who owns dozens of business. I never thought the most stupidest friend of mine became a Billionaire. Anyway... My name is Ralph Vincent. Im a average guy. Black Hair, black eyes. I live alone in my house. I eat, go to work, go home, then sleep. It was pretty much the same everyday. Until John sent us a message to gather. John is the Billionaire I mentioned. He's a big shot in the industries, he has ben on talk shows and news. A very successful bastard am I right? I'll introduce my friends I'll see in the gathering. First is Maria. The popular blonde cheerleader back in the days. She was born in a rich family. She is athletic too, and smart. Next is Vel Loza, she is of spanish blood but born here in america. She is very shy and doesn't have that much friends. She is short, brown haired, black sparkling eyes and extremely cute. She also tends to be an Airhead which makes her twice cute. Third is Jerome, he was a thug back then. But even if he is, he is a good guy, I've known him since childhood. I wonder if he still keeps his red dyed hair. Fourth is Jason. A very smart and serious guy. A genius I might say, he even helped us cheat a lot in the past! Haha! The fifth is Cyrus. The introvert, a quite guy. He likes to be alone but we always annoy him to go outside to play together. Lastly was John. He was once a stupid guy. Had bad grades in the past. I like him a lot, a very close friend of mine. He is always there when I feel down. And he knows how to cheer me up. I never thought he would become some billionaire guy.

*Ding*

'A message?' I looked at my phone and saw everyone in a picture. All of their smiling faces, they've all change very much. It looks like Cyrus didn't dye his black hair, heh... Even John and Jaron didn't dyed their black hairs even though they said they would. 'Im late'. I pulled a taxi and quickly ran to the restaurant and saw my old friends there. "Ralph! Been a long time!" John shouted. "H-hey there..." Vel said Shyly. "Yo dude!" Jerome Greeted. "Hey Ralph!" Maria said cheerfully. "Good day man" Jason said. "Hello" Cyrus greeted.

"Its been a long time friends... Well what we waiting for? Lets go in already!" I said in a joyful voice. We talked in the restaurant for hours. Talking about our careers and stories of ours. Vel was shy talking, like before. John is still the energetic type. Jerome did change a bit, he was once a thug and know he became a cop himself. Maria became way more cheerful than before. Jaron is still the serious type guy. And cyrus is still the introvert guy. "You have a family now Jason!?" I said in shock, very shock I will say.

"Yes... Wait you didnt know?" He asked in confusion

"It might be because I was too into work nowadays..." I responded "Anyway... What about you girls?"

"Im doing great if you ask! Ive won 6 gold medals in my athlete career!" Maria said. "I saw you on the news, you just won your sixth right?" Jerome asked

"Yup! I did great there didnt I?!"

"Yeah you did! What about you Vel?" Jerome asked Vel next.

"Oh! Uh! Hm..." She is nervous. But still cute!

"Oh you dont have to say it!" Jerome said trying to reassure Vel.

"Ah! I-Its O-Okay! Umm... I've be-been well.. Im almost finished... With my... Hhhmmm..." She is way more nervous. I can see her face blushing red hot. "What my?" I asked.

"Well... I pursueded my career... In comic drawing... And im... Im wor-working on a ani... Anime... Project..." She says. She seems to stutter often now.

"Wow really?" Cyrus asked shocked. Heh... A typical Weeb like always.

We talked a lot, ate a lot, and drank a lot.

This is a special day. I will remember this. But I felt something was wrong... When I was a child, if I felt that something is wrong... Then something will happen. Maybe its just a coincidence. Nothing bad will happen... For sure...
