"Grace?" I heard Jacob say. Truth is I haven't been the only one William and Jacob haven't seen in a while. Grace left about a year and a half after me.

"Jacob? Wait William? Whats going on here?" Grace had the most confused yet excited expression on her face. She would call me everyday after she left and complain to me about how much she missed Jacob, ocasionally adding William to make it sound like she didn't like Jacob but we all knew she did except Jacob who also had a tremendous crush on her.

"These things only happen to us, meeting eachother in the parking lot of Wal-Mart. Yeah these things happen all the time." William said laughing. I couldn't help but laugh at his stupid comment because it was true. Who else see's there friends that moved away sophomore year and Junior year and never once saw them again.

"Um. yeah." Jacob said flatly sounding like William had just a couple of seconds ago.

"Jacob! You chose now to zone out when all this is happening! When you have her right in front of you!" William said in a mocking tone trying to act just like Jacob had moments ago.

"Whats going on here?" Grace asked confused. You really couldn't blame the girl. She has her high school crush right in front of her who she hasn't seen in about 6 years and one of her old best friends by his side.

           I looked over at Jacob who litteraly looked like he was shitting bricks. "Um, w-well, damn it!" he said making Grace jump back being startled a bit. This caused William and I to burst out laughing.

"Jacob! Do you not see who's infront of you! Its Grace! The Grace! The Grace who you haven't seen in like 6 years!" William said this while laughing which only made him take longer to say this then what was actually needed. Jacob then sent William a death glare that said 'I'm so going to kick your ass.' "Whats wrong Jakey? Cat got your tounge?" William said.

"Alright this is weird. Can someone please explain things to me!" Grace asked really wanting some answers now.

"I'm sorry I was just a bit in shock." Jacob said finally being able to speak but still having that 'I'm about to shit in my pants look'. "William and I were just coming out of the store when you see lovely Anna hear being the amazing driver she is bumped into our cart. And then well you came and now its just like, awkward" Jacob said.

"Well, missed you guys too! Thats a nice way to say hi to your bestest friend from high school." Grace said with a smile that extended from one ear to the other. William was the first to go up to her and hug her and ruffling her hair like he always use to do which would bug her. "Really William?" she said acting like she was annoyed but ended up failing since she couldn't hold her smile. Jacob then went up to hug her tightly like he usually did.

"So what are you guys doing here?" William asked.

"Well you know, what most people come to Wal-mart, to shop! Geshh William graduate of high school and still can't use context clues" I told him smirking at him.

"Aren't you the smart ass. I mean in Jersey obviously." He said.

"We live here." Grace said as if they should of known this.

"Since when?" Jacob asked.

"A year maybe?" I said.

"Well I for one am hurt!" William smirked as he said this and placing his hand over his heart. "You guys have been living here for a year and not once did you try to contact us! Shame on you two, to think we missed you." I couldn't help but laugh at William. I had truly missed him so much. He always acted like this making all of us laugh.

"Its not like you tried keeping in touch with us." I said with a bit of attitude. William had only texted me every now and then when I left. Each conversation we had was awkward and simple, as time went by we talked to one another less and less.

"Yeah, sorry." They both mumbled even though I really only meant this for William I guess Jacob didnt notice and he felt guilty.

"Eaither way how were we suppoe to know you were still in Jersey?" I said as if they should of known this. Its been 7 years since I've last seen them and they expect. I looked at William as if he was trying to come up with something to say. Jacob and Grace had started there own side conversation. William hadn't changed much. He Had his black hair that wasn't to short nor to long. His skin tone was still absolutly perfect, he did although grow more as in height and muscles wise.

"Any way give me your number that way we can all hang out some time" William said nervously.

"William David Taylor, are you trying to get my number. How cute." I said with an aw standing on my toes attempting to go pinch his cheecks.

          He grabbed my hand just before I was able to reach his face pulling me closer to him closing the space between us as he dropped our still combined hands to the side."Ha, ha, ha. Real cute Anna. It's your lost if you dont want to give it to me." he said smoothly. I could feel his breath right on my lips. His free hand went to my waist making a small tingle run through my spine.

"In your dreams Will." I said getting closer to him. "But if you want it so bad all you could of said was please" I smirked as I reached into his front pocket searching for his phone.

"Carefull what you grab down there" he said with a cocky smirk plastered on his face. I grabbed his phone and pulled out of his embrace.

"Not sure If I would find anything else." I smiled at him. I then slid my finger across his screen unlocking his iphone. "Hm, no password, I'm guessing someone doesnt have a girlfriend." I told him caring out the one in someone while adding my number into his phone.

"If thats your way to finding out if I'm single or not you could of just asked." He smirked at me yet again. I swear he thinks he's so cute.

"Whatever lover boy" I told him rolling my eyes. "Grace come on we need to go or else the milk is gonna go bad" She looked at me and nodded hugging Jacob goodbye and walking over to me then hugging William goodbye. I rolled my eyes yet again at William who decided to keep staring at me even when I went to go hug Jacob goodbye. Once I pulled out of Jacobs hug I started walking to my car.

"What no hug for me?" William asked in a sarcastic tone.

        I smiled at myself, biting my lip trying to force myself not to laugh. "Go hug your girlfriend." I told him with a wink then turned back around and opened the door to my car.

"I thought you said I didn't have a girlfriend." He half yelled so I would be able to hear him. I Couldn't help but laugh as I closed my door and looked at Grace who just had on a stupid grin on her face. I already knew what she was thinking.

William's pov.

           I stepped into my apartment and put my keys on the table and looked into the mirror only to see myself smiling. I tried to think when did I start when I couldn't remember. Today has been one hell of a day, I would of never thought going to Wal-Mart would bring all of this. The last time I had seen Anna was when were 16. Everything about her had changed but yet stayed the same. She still had her dimples when she smiled and her right eyebrow still goes up when she finds something amusing. Its crazy how comfortable everything was, how everything felt. It was normal. The way she laughed only made me want to laugh even more. Anna had one of those cute laughs that made everyone in the room want to laugh with her. Hearing it again made me remember all the times we had. We were really great friends in high school and I thought it was always going to be that way until she left.
