I'm walking through the hallways where i spent the worst 4 years in my life and now, i'm going to meet the people who made those years so shitty. I have to forgive them a ton of things.
Luckily, they've chosen Saturday as the meeting day, so there are no children here.
I see the same slim woman figure but now she's heading to me. I'm trying so hard to remember her name but you know, it's been 8 years. People change, especially from the outside.
"Hey, Ashley!" She says loudly.
"Hi" I silently say because i dont want her to notice that i don't remember her.
"So, how's life, gurl?" She asks.
Oh. She named me 'gurl', so if i'm right her name is Alice.
Ah, Alice. This name means more than a lot for sheerios. I've completely forgotten that i had a classmate named like a '+ person'.
"Mine is great, I'm really enjoying my summer" I smile. "What about you? "
I'm not interested in that but i listen carefully because i'm that kind of person, who always listens to everyone but rarely says something about myself. She said, that everything in her life is going well, she'll be studying somewhere in America and will get married in four months.
"Wow! Married? I can't find a proper boyfriend for myself while you are getting married. For real??" I say kinda frustrated and surprised at the same time.
She laughs, looks at me from the bottom to the top and says:
"You have changed a lot! In a good way, of course."
I grin, say thanks and we head to the place where all the people are gathering.
We go in awkward silence but i can already hear people talking.
When she opens a door of class, i see a lot of men in suits and women in formal dresses, I look down to my appearance and silently start wondering if there is a way how to get the hell out of here and not be seen.
A few people turn around and start slowly walking to me and Alice. I can hardly remember their names. Actually, i can't remember any boy names from my class. Oh, except Robert. But i dont know how does Robert look like. One of them suddenly interrupts my thoughts.
"Oh hey, Ashley! We were waiting for you" he smiles.
I smile back.
I can see few people looking at me as i am a total idiot. I sit down somewhere in a corner of a class and listen what everyone are talking about.
So, basically everyone has well-paid jobs or got to the best universities.
All of a sudden, someone says loudly:
"The concert starts after 30 mins, so we can head outside after 20."
I'm really surprised, because there wasn't any concert planned. Then, i get super excited so i started running outside.
I heard people talking in other classes.
I guess other classes are doing meet-ups today too.
I break through the door outside, run around the building and i see a stage. It is really small, like for a small band. But everyone will be just talking, drinking champagne and eating, because i can see four tables covered with snacks and drinks.
Then i look down again to my appearance and feelings about Ed comes. I start crying, sit down on the grass. I start humming few of his songs, which i somehow mashups with Jamie's songs, I stand up, go near the stage and stand right in front of that place where the artist will stand.
