High School High Reunion

If you remember last, I mentioned an early high school reunion taking place this month, and I still was sweating the small stuff, as far as my appearance goes. I had my outfit planned out, was going to wear all black to make myself look smaller. That plan quickly went down the drain once, I popped the zipper on my dress, uggh talk about irked?! I haven't been down Dave & Buster's in years, so I was surprised when I saw the $5 cover charge, I was like what is this a club?! I played a few games with my boyfriend before he went to hang out with his friends. I turned to my left and saw some of the same people who were either my friends or associates, and realized how fast 8 years passed by, without me even seeing most of them since graduation. Quick hugs, and smiles and conversation lead us to having drinks and talking about different events from high school, such as Big Steve slamming Chris C. everybody was in school that day and it was hilarious. I began talking with one of my friends, telling her about my fear of people judging the way I look. She put it in this prospective, we're all grown now, and we can't expect our bodies to look the way it did when we were kids, the same exact sentiment of another friend echoed just three weeks earlier. I started looking around at my classmates and realized that Steph was right, some were married, others have children, and the guys no longer look like the boys I used to roll with in high school, the were men now. I thought of my smaller frame and thought I don't want my 18-year-old body back, I want my 21-year-old body back lol! Some funny things happened while we were there, my boi Reese drank one drink and was sweating like he stole something, we were laughing because naturally we knew he probably couldn't handle his liquior, he's not a drinker. Then my boi Sunny said I was weird when I was in school, I said everyone was kind of weird so what made me any different, his reply "Cuz I ain't hit that it school." My reply was I was interested in you then, or now, he was drunk so I didn't get too offended, but the icing on the cake was from Shawn, "Why haven't you settled down yet, let a ni**a buss in you, have a few babies." What kind of sh*t is that to say to someone? Sorry, I'm just not down for being somebody's random baby mom, plus I have some more living to do before I settle down with kids. All in all, it was a great reunion, and we made a vow to spend more time together and hopefully have more of our classmates come out to catch up and reminisce.
