"Should we leave" he asked, breaking the awkward silence.
"Yes, yes, we are going to be late" she hurriedly stated as she scrambled to put on her heels.
Adam, instead of wearing smart shoes that would complent his suit, put on his black trainers, that he didn't negotiate about with Sarah who had given up after seeing how strong his stand was on the topic.
Adam always wanted to be prepared to run or fight and knew that smart shoes would make it difficult to do so, which he had already spoken to Sarah about and his decision didn't waver in the slightest.
Unknowingly every thought that Adam had, was filled with contingencies that he was always trying to cover and was always aiming for the safety of those that he cared about around him.
They speedily walked out of the apartnt and closed the door behind them, as they rushed towards the exit.
The handso man and pretty girl, that were dressed nicely, caught the eye of those that saw them, as they rushed past and from an outside perspective, seed to be a couple.
Adam was looking forwards to going to the reunion, that people with a normal life would do, and he was excited to see his past friends from high school, that was the last good monts of his life before it went crashing down.
As Adam and Sarah called for a taxi and sat in the back, after giving the taxi driver the location, Adam was struck with a sudden mory that he had forgotten about during the taxi ride.
[That reminds , the reward that I was ant to accept from the achievent that the system gave for 'Clutching to Humanity'] exclaid Adam within his mind.
His excitent towards going to a party with friends, which he had never had the luxury of doing for the past 3 years, had reminded him of the achievent the system gave him when he still retained the thought and that he was a human even after what he experienced in the Dungeon.
But at the ti, Adam was too concentrated on reaching out to Sarah and was planning to open the reward afterwards, but had forgotten to do so.
Just as he was about to ask the system what the reward was and accept it, the taxi reached a halt and after paying, Sarah dragged him out of the taxi.
[I guess I will rember to ask for my reward the next ti I am in the dungeon] decided Adam as he fixed his suit that was creased slightly by Sarah.
Adam was struggling to stay calm as he looked at the 4-star hotel that was extrely luxurious and far fetched for sobody like him who had never had the luxury of wealth, and had a beautiful and bright golden and red colour sche that caught his eye.
"Are you just going to stand there" whispered Sarah to the dazed Adam as she pinched his side and dragged him inside.
Subtly, Sarah locked arms with Adam as they walked into the restaurant together.
At the entrance stood a man dressed in a smart suit that approached them in a respectful and professional manner.
"May I ask, do you have a reservation or would like to find you a table" asked the man.
"We are here for our high school reunion" replied Sarah, reciprocating the respect.
"May I confirm the exact high school" asked the worker.
"Graham high school, and it should be under the na of Cole" answered Sarah.
"Follow " stated the man who had received the answer he was looking for, as he led them into the large restaurant that had beautiful Chinese decorations and ornants that were very pleasing to the eye.
Walking inside the large restaurant that was brightly lit by radiant chandeliers, they were led down a long corridor.
After a minute of walking down the long corridor, he reached an abrupt halt in front of a large door.
"Private room 9" he stated as he opened the door, in serving manner, allowing them to enter.
As soon as he opened the door there was a strong wave of chatter and liveliness.
Walking in Adam and Sarah were both excited as they saw 40 or so youths all chattering in groups.
Sarah was both excited and nervous whereas Adam was in a similar state, but from an outside perspective looked calm and didn't seem to be fazed in the slightest.
"Are we just going to stand here" whispered Adam to Sarah.
Sarah had also had her fair share of struggles and also hadn't had much ti to talk and hang out with friends. Which was why she was nervous and excited as who wouldn't be excited to have a good ti with old friends after a long ti.
Adam was in a similar position and would have been even more nervous, however, in his eyes after everything he had been through in the past 3 years and the Dungeon, socialising wasn't sothing that could scare him.
"Yes, let's enter" she stated excitedly as she looked up at Adam that gave her a reassuring smile that made her feel as though she had the confidence to accomplish anything.
They walked in arm in arm, which Adam didn't want to do but didn't want to make Sarah feel bad, as they caught the eye of all the youths inside who sward to welco them.
"Sarah" squealed a girl that scurried towards her in heels.
It was a girl with straight black hair, fair skin and was also very pretty on a similar level to Sarah in beauty.
"Emma" scread Sarah joyously, as she was passionately hugged by the girl who had run towards her.
Whereas Adam had locked eyes with another man as they rushed towards each other.
