OOC: I'm starting this thread with a new writer to the BB. Help me welcome Diana. I'm going to be the high school nerd who hit it big and comes back, hoping his high school crush is still available. Reunions have lots of people at them so I quess there is room for anyone.
IC: The invitation had gotten forwarded several time before it caught up with me. A 20 year reunion, back in my old home town. Part of me didn't want to go back, back where I was the class nerd, a really smart kid from the wrong side of the tracks. Never very physical, I was easy prey for the boys to pick on, starting with my pocket protector, down to my high water jeans. But another part wanted to go back and rub their noses in it, to show them what I had become. In college, my body filled out, I took to the gym and weight room and at 38, I was no longer a guy to overlook. That and the fact that my company had just gone public with our first public offering and the stocks had taken off, making me a very rich man.
But the reason that made up my mind to return was Diana. She was my high school crush, the girl I dreamed about when I had those awkward wet dreams, the girl I thought about when I found out about masturbation. My family had moved out of town just after graduation and I hadn't really had any good friends so I had no ties to find out anyting about her. Was she still single, or single again? Was she still hot or had she had 5 kids and turned into a blimp? Funny thing was, I found I didn't really care, I just wanted to see her, to talk to her. Rubbing it into the others really didn't appeal to me. I had sent back my reservation with a large check and asked not to recognized for it, but to make sure that the folks organizing the reunion made it a class event.
My secretary had made all my travel arrangements, booking me the largest suite in the hotel where the reunion was being held. She arranged for a limo to pick me up at the airport with instructions for it to be at my dispossal for the whole weekend. My wealth had come so suddenly, I was still not used to the trappings and the stares. I dressed comfortably in well worn jeans, polo style shirt with a pair of well worn boat shoes. The limo driver seemed surprised when I walked up to him and said "I'm Bill Watson", he recovered quickly and we picked up my bags and headed for the hotel.
