Title: Prom Party 2005 (56)
Uploaded By: qsimmons
I graduated from Ben Davis High School, on the west side of Indianapolis, in 1995, with a graduating class of 848. Tomorrow is our big 10 year reunion, which is being held at a banquet hall on the west side near the high school.
I was originally reluctant to attend because I really didn’t enjoy the last one in 2000. Many of the classmates I wanted to see weren’t there and the whole thing just felt weird and awkward, as if I were still in high school. I ended up not reconnecting with anyone.
Of course, I’ve grown up since then and am certainly more comfortable in my own skin than ever, but it took the convincing of my sister Lisa to make me decide to go. The worst that could happen is that I’m out $30 and leave early, but, at least, I won’t regret not having done it.
I’m hoping that I’ll get the chance to reconnect with old high school friends, especially my friend Brandon who’s a great guy and was really cool when I came out of the closet to him. It happened while giving him a ride home after marching band practice one night during our senior year.
So, in preparation for tomorrow, I’m going to head over to the mall and buy a nice shirt or something.
