My High School Reunion

Chapter 9

Amelia's P.O.V:

 

The week I spent in Paris was absolutely amazing! The sights were indescribable and the food was exquisite! I hope that I can go back again some day, everything seemed so laid back and calm compared to being at home that living there would be an absolute dream.

I awoke at 9 am on Saturday and began my day with a coffee and reviewing the plans for the reunion tonight. I wanted everything to be perfect, nothing could go wrong as I had spent a lot of time ensuring that tonight would end up being a good night. All I needed to do was buy myself a dress and a pair of heels and I was set! Deciding on that plan of action I jumped in the shower and then got dressed to go shopping.

Stepping into the shopping centre I was astonished at how I was supposed to pick one dress - no I wanted a drop dead gorgeous dress to show off to my old bullies - and a pair of heels. I started off in Ann Summers because I figured why buy a nice outfit and not nice underwear? So that's exactly what I did, I brought a new bra and knickers that are by far the most outrageous pair I have ever brought for myself. After leaving Ann Summers I walked into a new shop called 'The Knot Dress' which was a mix of wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, prom dresses and really nice evening dresses. The mix in here was shocking; for such a small shop there was a lot of variety to choose from. I spent over an hour trying on dresses but I finally found the one that fit me perfectly. The red gave the whole thing a sexy vibe whilst the shape showed of my killer curves. Men, eat your heart out!

After spending £135 on a dress and £12 on a pair of black platform court heels I made my way over to Starbucks and brought myself a large coffee; I could feel my eyes drooping from tiredness so I knew that a bit of caffeine could sort that problem right out. After buying my coffee I walked over to the entrance to the car park but was stopped when someone bumped into me and sent my coffee spilling all down my white shirt. "Sorry are you alright?" I shook my head, tears filling my eyes "No I'm not alright. You bumped into me and now I'm covered in scolding hot coffee!" he looked up at me and I recognised him from somewhere and sadly I recognised him "Jordan?" I whispered. He nodded "Hey Amelia" he replied "What are you doing here?" he looked shocked to see me but I felt myself getting angry, he greeted me like we were friends and we were definitely far from that!

"I'm on my way to buy something nice to wear tonight for the reunion, make an effort you know? I also want to look nice when I see Isabelle so that I can apologize without her getting angry" I snorted "Apologize? You hope that looking nice will make her accept your apology? That it will make up for all the years of you bullying her and putting her down? If I had my way she'd never look in your direction again after tonight." he visibly shrunk back and looked down "I take you haven't forgiven us then?" I laughed "Forgiven you? When hell freezes over. All three of you at some point made my life hell, even more so than Isabelle and Roxanne. What I don't understand though is why? I get Nate did it because he hated me-" "What?!" I raised an eyebrow, confused "What do you mean what?" he shook his head "You said that Nate hated you" I nodded "Yeah because he did, you don't treat someone like shit if you like them"

"Look Amelia, I know that you won't believe me but Nate really did like you - still does really like you, you're the only person he talks about" I looked into his eyes "Really? So when he slept with Mindy he was trying to make up for all the years of abuse or how since he RSVP to the reunion he hasn't made any effort to contact me to even try to apologise? Look Jordan, you're right I don't believe you and I really do want nothing more than to ring his neck when I see him but as long as he stays out of my way tonight then everything will be perfect." he rubbed his face and mumbled quietly "That's not possible" but I'm sure it was supposed to be so that I couldn't hear but he wasn't as quiet as he thought he was "What do you mean?" he choked on the air "Tell me, you're hiding something from me aren't you?" Jordan shook his head and went to make a hasty exit "Of course not Amelia but I really have to go so I'll see you tonight" and he ran off.
