There was a girl that I went to high school with that was very stuck up and super preppy. She wasn't mean to people that weren't in her little click, she just didn't acknowledge you existed unless she absolutely had to. Around the time of my 10th reunion (which I didn't go to as stated above) I was home for Thanksgiving and ran into her. We talked and ended up going out to dinner. She had gotten out of school, went to college, met a guy and got married at 20. Her parents wanted her to wait until she was out of school to get married. They told her she would get married, then get pregnant, drop out of school and never finish. She said they were wrong, got married and . . . got pregnant, dropped out and had two kids. She insisted on being a stay at home mom and then 5 years later he dumped her and they got divorced. So I meet her and she is working two jobs. One as a waitress, one as a cash register at a store because she has no education and no work experience and now has to actually pay her own way and survive like the rest of the world.

Most of the dinner was her explaining how hard her life was. I told her about living in Los Angeles, working in the movie business and having a lot of fun. It may sound mean, but it was kind of cool to see that the girl who had it all in high school was actually jealous of me.
