I Found Out About Our 20-Year High School Reunion from an Old Friend Because Nobody Had Bothered to Invite Me – But the Moment I Walked Through Those Doors, I Realized Why
I thought she might turn around and tell me the truth.
Alison wasn’t trying to spare my feelings.
She was trying to keep me away from something.
And if she wasn’t going to tell me what was going on, then I’d have to find out for myself.
I looked up the reunion website.
And what I saw there immediately proved that Alison’s offhand comment about how I’d been excluded due to poor organization was wrong.
I’d have to find out for myself.
Whoever had organized the reunion had gone all out.
The website featured professional photos, detailed schedules, personalized name tags, and RSVP tracking.
It hit me all at once: it hadn’t been an accident that I didn’t get invited to the reunion.
Someone didn’t want me there.
And Alison, who had protected me all through high school, had to be trying to protect me again from whoever was determined to keep me away.
