The Reunion 同學會
Lisa Smith jumped up from her nightmare. In the dream, a boy on the high school football team was making fun of her thick glasses and greasy hair. As soon as she opened her eyes, Lisa had butterflies in her stomach. She realized today was her 10-year reunion.
For Lisa, high school wasn't all bad. She got great grades and learned a lot about many different things. She even kept in touch with some of her friends from that time. But it was him, Jim Cower, that she still felt angry at. Even though she had gone through college and medical school, Lisa was very upset about the way Jim treated her every morning in high school. He would make fun of her, and all of his friends would laugh in her face. These bad memories were still fresh in her mind even after 10 years. But Lisa has blossomed into a beautiful lady since she graduated from high school. Her glasses have been replaced by contacts and her hair is now long and flowing.
麗莎‧史密斯從惡夢中驚醒。在夢裡，一名高中美式足球校隊的男孩正在取笑她厚重的眼鏡和油膩膩的頭髮。麗莎一睜開眼睛便感到緊張。她想到今天是高中第十年的同學會。
對麗莎而言，高中並非都是些不好的事。她成績優異，學到了很多不同的事情。她甚至和一些高中時代的朋友保持聯繫。但是她依然很氣吉姆‧考渥這個人。雖然麗莎早已唸完大學和醫學院，她仍舊會對高中時代吉姆每天早上對待她的方式感到不愉快。他會尋她開心，而且他所有朋友也會當面嘲笑她。十年過後，這些不好的回憶卻仍然在她腦海中記憶猶新。不過麗莎自高中畢業後已經變成一位美女。她的眼鏡已被隱形眼鏡取代，而她也有一頭飄逸的長髮。
