Forty-One: The Waldorf Reunion

IT WAS finally the reunion party of Waldorf High.
Michaela is currently driving the car, while Sally is at the passenger's seat. Michaela's parents let her drive the car as she already has a student's driver's license, and their house is not that far from her former school.
"Are you excited to see everyone again, Michaela?" Sally suddenly asked her.
"I'm excited and a bit nervous, Sally? I mean, I'm excited to see and talk to our high school friends again, but I'm also nervous because I know the expectations of each one of us are high. You know, everyone's expecting you to be successful..." Michaela tries to express her feelings.
"Don't worry, everything's going to be okay." Sally reassures her, as she's trying to calm her best friend.
"Thanks, bestie." Michaela smiles back at her.
===============================
One hour have passed.
Michaela has been craning her neck as she roams her eyes around the party venue. She's been looking for Daniel, but he's still nowhere to be found.
"Hey, aren't you getting tired of craning your neck and roaming your eyes around? You might get a stiff neck." Sally whispered at her.
"Oh, I'm just looking around and admiring the place, you know..." Michaela tries to reason out.
"Yeah, who are you kidding? I know you're looking for Daniel!" Sally teasingly told her.
"Shh! They might hear you!" Michael tries to hush her.
"Girl, you're acting like a highschool girl! I don't see anything wrong if you're looking forward on seeing Daniel. He's our classmate, afterall."  Michaela relayed.
"Well, you're right." Michaela nodded in return.
"But I would advice you that you shouldn't expect too much, Michaela. Or else you might get deeply hurt." Sally reminded her.
Michaela just decided to enjoy her time talking to others, as they try to reminisce the good times she spent with them back in highschool...
===============================
After a few hours.
Everyone's enjoying the reunion party. They are all having good food, great drinks, and awesome fun. There is now a game for everyone in attendance. They are currently playing the "Bring Me" game. The hosts will instruct the guests to bring something they can think of and they will bring it to the hosts who are standing onstage.
Whoever comes first will be given a prize to the winner such as small appliances or monetary prizes...
One of their batchmates, William and Sherry are serving as the masters of the ceremony. They are currently giving the prices to the winners onstage.
"Alright... Bring me a man and a woman wearing the same color of clothes!" William, the emcee suddenly announces.
"I'm so sorry, Michaela, but I have to do this!" Sally suddenly said, as she stood up and pulled Michaela to go onstage.
"What are you doing---?" before Michaela could finish her sentence, Sally is already pulling her, and she had a surprise of her life when she saw Daniel, being pulled onstage as well.
They both wearing the same color if clothes, which is light blue...
"M-Michaela?" Daniel unbelievably calls her name.
"D-Daniel? Is that really you?" Michaela said, while equally surprised.
Before Michaela and Daniel could speak again, Sally and the other pulled them up to the stage again.
"And we have a winner! And it looks like destiny made the meet again. Remember what happened to Daniel and Michaela before?" the female emcee asked their batchmates.
"Yes!" answered the audience, while smiling and clapping at the same time.
"And look at them, they even have the same color of clothes! It's like taking us back to the past!" the male emcee added.
"Okay, let's give them the prize!"
They immediately gave the prizes to Sally and their other batchmate.
"Alright, the game is over. Let's call on our next performer. If you still remember, she is always the star  of our school in the singing contests. Let's all welcome, Jessica Simmons!"  the emcees called the next performer to sing for everybody...
A few moments later, Daniel, Michaela and Sally came down from the stage. When they were seated at their designated table, Michaela suddenly spoke.
"I almost had a heart attack with what you did, Sally. Give me a warning next time, okay?" she said, while helplessly shaking her head.
"Sorry, Michaela. I just got really excited with the game!" Sally responded, while giving her a teasing smile.
"---By the way, it's been a long time, Michaela." Daniel suddenly spoke, who suddenly sat beside her.
"Yes, it's been a long time, Daniel." Michaela said in return.
"I'm so glad we finally met again. I'm actually good. So, how have you been? Where are you studying now? Are you enjoying your University life?" Daniel smilingly bombarded Michaela with questions.
Michaela started talking about her College life. She told him that she's taking up a Business Management course, and she's going to same University just like Sally, who's taking up Tourism. She also told him that she's been active with numerous academic activities, and she told him that she has more freedom comparison back to their high school days.
Michaela then realizes that she's the one who's been talking a lot, and Daniel was just listening to her with a smile on his face. Michaela decided to stop talking and let Daniel speak  this time...
"How about you, Daniel? What happened to you after high school?" she curiously asks him.
Daniel lets out a smile before he decided to speak again. 
Well, after graduating from Waldorf High, I went to another city which requires me 8 hours of travel time by bus. I've decided to enroll myself in a seminary, as a first step for me to become a priest. However, after my stay there, I suddenly had this realization that it wasn't meant for me, and I was able to finally realize that I left my heart to someone at Walnut Creek..." Daniel relayed what happened to his life, as he was intently staring at Michaela.
Meanwhile, Michaela suddenly looks down and pretended that she's looking at her plate. She's not stupid not to catch the gist of what he's trying to say.
