Plot Summary
Quinn watches her classmates as they graduate from Lawndale High. She is not graduating along side them ,though it is not immediately clear why. Quinn resents the fact she has been left out and feels some anger at the students who don't seem to apprciate the accomplishment and future they've been given.

Trivia

 * Angel is the one who tells Quinn it is time to go.


 * The Angst Guy suggested this was a good tie-in to Angelinhel's other story 91404, though the author did not intentionally write it as such.
