"Greg!"
I turn to see who's calling me, and when I see Jennifer walking toward me, I feel like my world is collapsing. Suddenly, I feel like I'm in high school all over again.
We are in Mrs. Smith's algebra class, and Jennifer is sitting in front of me. She turns around every few minutes to give me a funny look or to ask a question that has nothing to do with math. I stare at her long black hair and have trouble concentrating on a word that Mrs. Smith is saying.
Jennifer continues to walk toward me. I attempt to wave and say "hello," but my hand won't move, and my throat closes up. I've spent the last ten years running from my past, and here she is walking toward me.
