EXCERPT:
  Sorry, I just realised I hadn't told you about myself at all. My name is Mia Daye. I'm going on 28, hails from India and now works at Oxford as a Professor, specializing in Norse and Greco-Roman Mythology. I know it sounds terribly boring but it's fun to me, so Deal With It. I guess I need to explain more about the scenario that surrounds me and my life, considering that you are an impartial judge I'm consulting, but I can't. You'll know shortly enough why I need an impartial judge in the first place.
  ---------------------------------------------;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;------------------------------------------------
  A tale that starts invitingly (excuse my pun), as it literally starts off with the protagonist getting invited to her high school reunion, this story deals with cliche as well as very original scenarios pertaining to memories and life.
  The story presented itself to me, the author, when I was thinking about MY high school life and my future, when both just merged together to form this thing.
  I hate cliches, but I just had to insert some into this story as it fitted the situations. I have tried my best to avoid the expected, though.(CC) Attrib. NonComm. ShareAlike
