I’ve seen all the photographs from the reunion. Betty is as gorgeous as when we dated. The others also don’t seem to have changed much. Maybe a gray hair here and a pound there, but that’s about it. I wish I’d been there. I’m sure I would have had a great time remembering the pranks we played on our teachers. I’ll certainly try to stay in touch with my ex-classmates, especially now that I have moved to Australia. The job shortage at home simply forced me to make drastic changes in my life. | When I entered the hall, it was packed with plump, bald men and middle-aged women. At that moment it dawned upon me that I was no longer a young man either. I distinctly remembered all my classmates’ names, but I couldn’t put the faces and the names together. I wanted to leave straightaway. It was Linda, my wife, who stopped me, of course. Even during our school days she was more reasonable than me. At the time nobody believed we would last a month together. And now we have two sons and we run a family business. |

That day I was in Stockholm at a meeting and managed to negotiate the takeover of a large pharmaceutical company. My flight was delayed, so I didn’t even have time to change my clothes and I nearly missed the reunion. If only I had. I had been looking forward to it so much, but once I was there, I had a feeling I was among strangers. We had nothing to say to each other. That’s sad considering how close we used to be. I should have left immediately. One thing is sure, I’ll never go to a reunion again. | My husband and I almost didn’t come at all because the babysitter was available only until 10. People were amazed to see us together as we had hardly ever spoken in high school. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw my best school friend, Jessica, since I didn’t expect to see her. I knew she spent a lot of time travelling around the world. Our paths had gone different ways after school, but she was as likeable as she had been 20 years ago and it was great talking to her. It was a shame we were the first to go. |

In high school I was considered a nerd. Maybe it’s because of the thick glasses and knitted pullovers I used to wear. So, I wondered what it would be like to meet again the people who had so often teased me. The way they behaved was surprisingly immature. As if there hadn’t been a 15-year gap. I wouldn’t mind seeing them again, though I doubt they will ever be any different. I don’t bear any grudges. I am a successful and happy person now, but I wonder if they are. | I was in two minds whether to go or not to go as I hadn’t been in touch with any of my ex-classmates since school. When I finally made up my mind, it took me two weeks to decide what I would wear for the occasion. Being without work, I rarely buy fancy clothes these days and I wanted to wear something that would hide those 10 extra kilos. At the reunion, I felt uncomfortable and wanted to leave early, but I thought that would be impolite so I endured it. |
