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 Her glasses have been replaced by contacts and her hair is now long and flowing.
