They have been doing this since 10th grade in highschool and now just sophmores in college, their fifth year was approaching.

Denise looked at the necklace, thinking about him, how he was back then and now as her bestfriend. She looked at her watched and it read 11:49pm. Less than 15minutes until the year 2008.

She looked outside and walked away from the fesitivies.
She looked over to his parents’ house across the street to see his mom patiently waiting for him to come.

Denise waved, as his mom waved back.
She crossed the street, “Denise? Do you know where he is?”
“No, Miss Scott. I dont know where he is. I hope he doesnt break our tradition.”
“Its okay, just go back inside. He’ll be here tomorow.”

She walked across the street &walked inside of her house. Denise stood there, patiencely waiting for her New Years Eve kiss.
