I went to my ten-year reunion hoping to prove I’d moved on from the girl everyone mocked. Nobody recognized me, not even the classmates who hurt me the most. So I stayed quiet, listened closely, and waited until Madison said my name.
I almost wore black to my ten-year reunion because part of me still wanted to disappear.
Instead, I walked into that hotel ballroom wearing red, and nobody recognized the girl they’d spent years laughing at.
