Judy's POV

“That dress is gorgeous on you," Irene breathed with a large smile on her face. "And you are glowing. Have you always glowed like this?"

"She's right," Nan said, her eyes wide. "You are glowing, Judy."

I looked down at the sundress I was wearing, my cheeks flushed. I was graduating tonight, as was Nan. Today was the second biggest day of my life; the first being winning the Gamma competition. My entire family was going to be there, all of my friends; pretty much the whole pack, though I'm not expecting the Cash family to arrive, and some members of the Silver Crescent pack will be there as well.

Rumors were already flying all around that Gavin was planning on making an appearance as well. My heart was thudding wildly in my chest. It's been about 2 weeks since I last saw him, and every time I ask someone about him, like Matt, Irene, Erik, or even Beta Taylor, they would all tell me the same things.

"He's been busy."

"He's barely around anymore."

"I never saw or talked to him either."

I felt a little better knowing it wasn't just me but also felt crappy knowing that he slept with me and then went off the grid for 2 weeks. The last official thing I knew of him was that he was with Rachel at the hospital, and now, nothing. I tried to brush the thought from my mind because today was supposed to be a joyous day. I had worked hard to get to where I am. I was finally graduating and starting my life, which meant I had some serious decisions to make.

I've had job offers left and right since the competition and now I was finally ready to think more seriously about them.
