"Hey," Ben said cheerfully, stepping off the elevator, hand in hand with Jordy. He nodded towards everyone before walking over to the little group of people in the middle of the room. "Damn, So what class are we ditching?" he asked jokingly.

Keeping her lips pursed slightly she watched Corbin shake Zakks had, and she simultaneously rested her own on his hand that was now clutching her stomach. Giving it a reassuring squeeze she let it settle there, Zakk and Corbins relationship was like a less dramatic version of hers and Bella's, though the two men were often a lot more grown up and civil than the females.
Nibbling her lip in a habbit she had long lost, she raised her eyebrows before relaxing her mouth. Since she had been with Corbin she had lost the need for the comfort gnawing her lip gave her, she had him, and she remembered this as she squeezed his hand again. Another voice gave her a welcome distraction and she looked up to see Ben and Jordy, giving the man a warm smile she waved "Hey," and nodded politely to Jordy.

Zakk took Corbin's hand, his wife's ex-husband. It was awkward, but through the years, Zakk had let some of it go. They were too mature now. "Yeah, she's with the twins right now," looking at Gabby he said, "Look at you, you look really great." He smiled at her, it was funny to think back in school, they hated eachother. Zakk felt his side, he felt the outline of his scar, remembering the incidenct. He put his hand quickly in his pocket. "So, how are things going with you two?" It felt odd making simple chit chat. He prayed Bella would walk in the door soon.

"I have been great. Finally." Cissy laughed, nodding at Zakk. "Hey." She added, grabbing a water from the table and downing it. "Nice to see you're finally settled down." Cissy smiled, winking at him for old times sake. She was glad she had remained close to Corbin, despite him and Bella breaking up. He understood her, and she him.

"Hey guys," He said nodding at Ben and Jordy. It'd been interesting when the two of them got together. Probably because no one questioned it, almost like Triston and Hunter. The two were in a corner absorbed in their own conversation he laughed, some things couldn't change. "How you been Zakk?" He asked, hoping one day the two could be friends. Though it was doubtful it was a hope he would always hold on to. The same went for how he felt about Bella and Gabby.
"That's good Cissy, i'd have to hurt you if that didn't work out. You worked too hard." Turning to Ben, acknowledgiin his comment at last he smirked. "We're ditching them all."

Giving Zakk a relieved smile, she looked up at him. "Why thankyou," he was being sweet so she would return the favour but then again, she did look great. Leaning idly against Corbin, she listened to the two men attempt to make small talk, it was amusing, but she also felt pride for both of them that they were trying for the sake of their other halves and the kids. Blowing a strand of hair from her eyes she smiled up at her fiancee to show him how proud she was of him.

"Haven't been doing what we did since hogwarts." He laughed, letting his hand wander up Gabriella's back and tangling his hand slightly in the back of her hair. He accepted the smile, unsure of why she was proud of him. "Jordy, you're looking great."

Cissy smiled at her cousin, nodding to Ben. "You're sweet," Cis added to Corbin. She checked the door again. Tibby and Bella should be here soon, which meant so should the twins. This could be interesting.

Putting a mock look of annoyance on her face she looked at Ben. "Aren't you going to ask me how I've been?" after all they'd been practically best friends at school, though it made her smile that they could have been more, another case of someone choosing someone over her. Her cheeks flared at the thought and she scolded herself silently, sure she had had a rough year, but look at her now.
Feeling Corbin fiddle with her hair she smiled again, resting the side of her face against him, her hand still on his on her bulging belly. More comfort came from breathing in his scent, as she gave Jordy another pleasant smile, the girls had never been friends.
Looking over at Cissy she smiled. "Calm down, everything will be fine." She knew it could be interpeted in more than one way.

Addy walked into the Atrium first. Her head held high as she walked in her silver heels, matching the green strapless dress she was wearing. Her mother had lent her the outfit for the occasion after the -your-father-better-not-kill-me speech. Her arm linked with Alli. Alli's outfit was navy blue, making her blue eyes shine brightly. The tank top and jeans wasn't very formal, but it was very Alli. How many teenage girls came to the reunion like these?
"Hey daddy." Addy said, detaching her father from his wife with an expression and hugging him. Alli hugged him as well. Feeling her father's heartbeat always gave Alli a sense of comfort, her mother's house elf told her it was because he'd held her constantly as a child while bella clung to Addy. It was hard to believe that they'd ever been happy together.
The twins stepped away and glanced at everyone smiling. Alli tossed some hair from her face while Addy smoothed her lip gloss a bit. "How are you guys?" Alli asked, attempting to fix awkwardness.

Though she knew it wouldn't be a very grown up reaction to what had happened to sulk, she couldn't help her lips pursing slightly as Addy practically wrenched Corbin away from her. Folding her arms in annoyance she gave the girl a sweet smile, knowing she was being spiteful, but she didn't care.
Turning to Ally she gave the girl a warm smile, at least she didn't hate Gabby. "Hey," she offered, faintly she noticed the unformal attire of the girl, but it actually pleased her, at least she had worn what was her instead of trying to dress up like her Mother like Addy had obviously done, the girl could barely walk in those heels.

Zakk spaced out for a moment, but was brought back by Corbin's question, "I've been alright. Work with the dragons is taking a toll though," Zakk showed the side of his arm, one of his tattoos were warped from a burn.
Zakk saw the twins walk in. He knew they didn't care for him all too much, "Hey girls, is your mother here?" Zakk looked around, wondering if Bella had been talking to someone in the hall.

Hugging his daughters Corbin kissed each one on top of the head. "How you girls doing?" He asked them with a warm smile as he wrapped his arm once again around Gabby's waist. He wanted to smirk at their difference in attire but felt it best not to. He knew his daughters that was for sure.

As Corbin wrapped his arms around her again, she resisted the urge to stick her tongue out at Addy, her mind screaming at her that she was nearly 27 years old, not 15, she had to be an adult. "I'm with him," she teased so she didn't have to ask them how they were herself, it would be much better to get in on Corbins act, at least then the answers were plesant.
