10 years later

my high school reunion was this weekend. i actually enjoyed high school. i had an amazing group of friends, spent enough time on stage, on the football field and in the library. i was a dork and 10 years really hasn't changed all that.

if you've never been to yours, you're not really missing much. while it was nice to see some people, the cliques that grouped us - defines us still.

i arrived with a friend and we just stood barely inside the pavilion in the park. the ones that came up to us to give us hugs were our old friends and classmates that greeted us the same way 10 years ago.

and the ones that ignored us and kept to themselves? 10 years later, there is still a cool table and no matter how successful you are, you will never be a part of that.

i didn't go to the actual night shinding. i didn't really need to. the picnic spoke volumes. while, i'm sure not of the coldness were intentional, its hard to erase 10 years of acting a certain way and being a certain way.

the nice ones will always be the nice ones. the mean ones, well....some stayed mean, others got nicer.
