I Was Teased Throughout School – At Our 10-Year Reunion, Nobody Recognized Me, so I Took Advantage of It

“Don’t,” I said. “You’re not the only one.”

She laughed politely and walked away.

“Sorry, were you in our class?”

Nobody recognized me.

Not one person.

At first, it hurt. Then, when Ashley stopped in front of me with Brielle at her side, it became useful.

“I love your dress,” Ashley said.

“Thanks.”

Brielle smiled. “Are you someone’s plus-one? I swear I’d remember you.”

“I came alone.”

“I swear I’d remember you.”

Ashley lifted her eyebrows. “Brave.”

“Curious,” I said.

Brielle laughed. “Then come sit with us. Our table needs better energy and more younger-looking faces.”

I looked past them to their table. They all had the same smiles and the same sharp eyes, just with better makeup.

“I can sit for a few minutes.”

“Then come sit with us.”

Ashley pulled out a chair for me. “So, what do you do?”

“I manage a marketing team.”
