For the last few weeks, my sister has been raving about this bar she discovered in downtown Walnut Creek. So of course, one of the first free nights I had in the Bay Area, my sister took me to Crogan\’s because it was karaoke night. Being back where I grew up gave me a very bad uncomfortable feeling that started growing in my chest.

The moment I stepped in the bar, I almost wanted to turn around. I saw a group of girls I recognized from high school. It has been five years since I graduated yet the discomfort was still there. Even though I believed that I grew past that, I couldn\’t help but feel slight bitterness as well the distaste left from rejection from five years ago. Even though they most likely didn\’t recognize me since I definitely don\’t look the same, I just felt their eyes going over me, criticizing, judging. But when I looked again, they weren\’t. It was just me thinking.

The blond girls. With their tiny tops. One I remembered received a regent scholarship to Berkeley but had it revoked. Another, the water polo popular group. They sang country. And I almost winced.

I told myself that I won\’t see them again. I guess I am still not ready for a reunion.

  1. who cares about reunion haha. i dunno if i would go. i guess it would be interesting, but…i rather just have a small reunion with the people i do actually hang out with in high school.

  2. That\’s why reunions happen every 10 years… I think.
    Anyways, don\’t care what people think so much. They don\’t really matter!

    Hehehe, what matters on the other hand is that you need to change the 6th line of your CSS file to position your BG image to the \’left\’ instead of \’center\’.
    It looks like you may have to add a few pixels to the left of the BG image though :)
