"Finally," I look around the room and let off a small smile. "I'm finally graduating." All I have to do now is wait for 'him' to show up. I am in a different country after all. My family didn't have the money to come to London and watch one of the biggest moments in my life. Oh well. My eyes dart around the sky before I jump up and squeal.

"Boo." The rough hands grab around my waist and pull me in close. I light up and peak my head back to see 'him.' "Jarrett!" Without seconds in between, my head is buried into his comforting chest. "It's been so long..." my voice trails off and my smile fades. "I know, but I'm here now. How about we ditch this place. I have something to show you, you'll be surprised." Just by those words, I know exactly what's going to happen and what he's going to show me. I nudge his arm with mine.

He pulls me away from the crowd and wraps a blindfold around my eyes. My cheeks puff and go pink. "Come on, I'm your partner in crime." I stretch my words playfully and grunt in between words. "Shh, you'll wake them." Jarrett whispers, covering my lips with his finger gently. I pout my cheeks even more and nod. He continues to walk us down hallways and stairs. I feel like we've been walking forever.

"You remember the fiber reinforced soft composite you showed me?" I nod and feel my eye-lids be showered with light once again. "I got my hands on some and well," He pushes a button on the sleek gray wall. I tilt my head as I watch the door slide open like a garage.

The area corners up into a box-like dresser. He opens the two following doors to reveal the slim-fitting suit. A blocked spider rides up the chest and around the flimsy hood. Thick piece of armour cover the shins, waist, and elbows. The fiber reinforced soft composite is covered in a silky cloth. On the mannequin, the smokey white mask covers the lower jaw and nose like a scuba mask. I feel my mouth drop as I look at the suit and back at Jarrett. The purple and golds shimmer from the suit out of the corner of my eyes. "That's not all." he whispers and pulls up his hoodie sleeves. His veins in each arm practically burst out of his skin. He presses his middle and ring fingers together on the bottom of his palms on hands. A silky web-like substance comes flying out between his fingers. The glue sticks to the opposite wall as it glides him across the floor. "Is that..." Jarrett covers my lips once again and nods. My face goes hot as I nod along with him.

"Guess whos dream will come true."

"Yours?"

"Both of ours."
