Cecilia Vaughn had never attended such a high school reunion before, as she went to prison right after graduating at eighteen.
But even if she hasn't experienced it firsthand, she's seen enough to know that these so-called get-togethers meant to reconnect usually end up being competitions about who bought a house in a prestigious school district, who got a promotion, and who managed to snag a rich partner.
Unfortunately, it wasn't easy to turn down the class president, given that they got along well back then, and it's even harder to go back on her word now that she's agreed to go.
After being tormented by Adrian Law all night, her body was sore, and as Cecilia rubbed her temples, she realized she had a bit of a headache. She should have just claimed she was busy.
She checked the time; there was about an hour left.
"Ah, crap! I'm going to be late!"
