Hello one and all and welcome to your highly anticipated high school reunion. There are fifty RSVPS' so hopefully everyone will come. I am your hostess and for those of you who don't know me, the name is Cheyenne. I would like to start tonight's festivities with a little speech just to get the mood of reuniting started. Hopefully through this speech you will start to mingle.
Long ago, five years to be exact, there was a class of freshman that were wild, and needed to be tamed. The wildest of the bunch, H block class with seven teachers eventually leading to Arielle. You were the lively part of every teacher's day, in good and bad ways, mostly bad. That was our problem, we felt like everyone gave up on us, so we gave up on ourselves.
It all started with a certain Elizabeth. Yeah, ya'll remember her. She was the pregnant emotional one that was always crying. It's as if our class gave off an incredibly negative aura. She walked into the room and we were just the ice melting underneath her feet while trying to walk out of a freezing room. She left. Then there were so many others actually, but only a few were really interesting. There was also Krystal…or Ms. Krystal to be more precise. She was something in disguise. Way too much testosterone kicking in there. I mean seriously you can maybe push a student in a chair like a centimeter on average, but for those of you who know me, know that a centimeter turned into half way across the room. But then the apple hit her in the head the next day, so all was taken care of. Then we had some dude for two days and then we got Jason. I don't know what they were thinking to give us a math teacher for English, but even if you did all of his crosswords in less than two minutes, he still failed you. So finally we got someone who actually stuck around. I never understood why she did, and neither did the rest of the class that was trying to get rid of her.
For some reason we were so dead in sophomore year. It's such a shame too because we went from people trying to get us to work in their class, to people trying to get us out of their class. We weren't even given a chance by most of our teachers, but Kim really was there for us. She wanted to get us back on track, and we did. Well half of us did by the end of sophomore year. Those of us who didn't were either transferring schools or dropping out. Guess we found out who we really should be around then huh? Junior year was the start of the separation between our classes. People really found one group of people to talk to and that was it. But the AP class was the strongest. We weren't built as a strong unit at first and had to work hard to break those little division lines but by the end we had a family, thanks to all those bug outs in Collin's and Marci class.
Senior year really sucked because by then we just wanted to be left alone. Ok so we took the regents scored well, aced some of them, and then most of us failed the AP test. That's ok though, we passed them all next year…. Except for history, but that's for another reunion.
There were some people who made these four years special and I just want to give a shout out to them. My close friends and teachers and family you guys were all there to keep me from dropping out and coming back, but one in particular that I owe a big thank you to.
Diemar even though you were the worst girlfriend in the history of girlfriends I feel that our collapse wasn't your entire fault. Yes you were a jerk to me and only hung out with me once a month, but you did try to change and I didn't let you because something happened to me. I know it isn't fair and I am so sorry that I did that to you. I never meant to hurt you. And leaving you so suddenly just when you thought things were going in a good direction was because of my own insecurities. I can't tell you how much I've wanted to apologize for not telling you why, but I couldn't. You would've tried to help me and I would have just made things worse by running away. I mean it wasn't easy to tell someone you got raped and that's why I hid it for so long. But I don't want you to think I am trying to ruin your night. I just wanted to tell you. So now you know. Hopefully things won't get even more silent and awkward between us. I hope you can forgive me. I was wrong for putting your esteem down even more, because I had personal issues. It's not excusable I know, but if you could forgive me, it would mean the world to both of us.
