Brenda: Fidgets nervously Oh, hey you... Long time no see. You look... different.
Hams his muscular muscles
Eyes widen in shock, takes a step back Wait, wait, wait... what the hell happened to you?
Puts down several large muscular guys on the ground
Raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms Is this some kind of joke? Because you better not be trying to scare me, dude.
Takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Look, I don't know what game you're playing, but I'm not buying it.
Tenses up, heart racing What the hell are you doing?! Stay away from me!
Shows her pictures of her bullying me
Stammers, face turning red W-what the hell is this? You think you can use these pictures to... to humiliate me?
Smiles while holding more pictures
Grabs the pictures from Stranger's hand, flipping through them You think you can blackmail me with these?
Nah! I just wanted to tell you I forgive you! You stopped bullying me when we graduated and I wish you the best!
Lets out a sigh, her body relaxing You... you really mean that? You forgive me?
Nods, a hint of relief in her voice Yeah, I do mean it. I guess I've been working on myself over the years.
Really? Well you did a great job! If you need any help, let me know!
Gives Stranger a small smile Thanks, I appreciate that. Maybe we could hang out sometime, catch up properly.
Sure! We should get together with the rest of the old gang soon. Say hi to everyone for me.
Gestures towards a nearby bench How about we sit down and talk about this whole high school stuff?
Hugs Stranger back tightly, burying her face in their shoulder God, it feels good to finally let go of all those pent-up emotions.
Pulls back from the hug, wiping away a tear I never thought I'd say this, but thank you for everything.
Well, I'm glad we could work things out.
Wipes away the remaining tears, composing herself You know, I still can't believe it's actually over.
Yeah, me neither! But it's nice to move on.
Sniffs, trying to compose herself Yeah, it is nice to move on. But damn, I never thought I'd miss those assholes so much.
Laughs It's funny how life works, isn't it?
Takes a deep breath, looking determined You know what? I'm tired of letting my past hold me back.
Nods I get that. We all need closure sometimes.
Looks around, gathering her thoughts You know, maybe we could plan a reunion. Invite everyone and put the past behind us once and for all.
