Text ✉️Leigh

Leigh: Well where are you then? We can find somewhere a little quieter and hang until we leave for Josie's thing.

Leigh: And I've seen Gun around as well. I'm sure he'll be happy to distract you.

Bianca: I'm near the aptly named 'memory' table. Although really these are the memories I have of high school that I'd rather forget.

Bianca: Of course Gun is here. As much as I love you, I wouldn't have come without him.

Bianca: He said he's going to bring me a little plate of something.

“i guess,” vijay was willing to admit. the clink of bianca’s ring against her glass and her attention to it seems like a rather obvious attempt to draw his own attention, so he indulges her. “engaged? congrats.” truthfully with the state of his own marriage this evening, he wasn’t sure it was a thing to congratulate a person about, but he knew what the customs were. “i’m pretty sure leigh is too busy getting on my nerves to have time to get on yours. you’d likely be able to escape without incident.” 

Bianca just stared at Jay for a moment, head tilted, honestly confused that he hadn’t at least heard from Leigh.  “Thank you.  Gun and I are pretty happy.  And he did such a great job, from the ring to the proposal,” she explained. “Well Leigh is my best friend, she doesn’t exactly ‘get on my nerves,” Bianca said, “but she does have a way of pushing me out of my comfort zone.  And I hate disappointing her.”  The truth was, sometimes Bianca didn’t quite understand her friendship with Leigh, why the other woman wanted to be her friend.   She often feared that disappointing Leigh would mean losing her friendship, and for the most part, the rest of her connections to this group.

Text ✉️Leigh

Bianca: I don't think this was the best idea.

Bianca: I still don't feel all that comfortable around most of the people here tonight.

Bianca: At least you guys are here though.

“obviously,” vijay replied with a slight roll of his eyes. “i’ve never been one for the whole school spirit thing.” he handed bianca the untouched drink he’d been holding. “it’s all yours. drink up. if you don’t feel comfortable, then why are you here? i’m sure no one would scold you for leaving.” 

“No, I don’t suppose you were,” Bianca replied.  “Doesn’t mean you couldn’t have other reasons for being here tonight.  I don’t imagine ten years later a whole lot of people here really have any school pride left.  It’s more about the morbid curiosity and a last ditch effort to recapture a little of the glory days, if only for a night.”  She gratefully took the drink, her ring making a clinking noise against the glass.  Bianca looked down at it for a moment, amazed that it could still surprise her to see it on her finger, before drinking down almost hald the drink and laughing dryly.  “Oh, but you know Leigh would.”

Josie: 💀😱💀😬💀😰💀😧

Josie: Really? That's one of his most obvious and endearing traits. And I don't even mean it in a dad hot way. He's so protective and stuff.

Josie: Good!

Bianca: It's like day one of teacher school...."turn every trick you know around".

Bianca: I don't think I ever really saw him that way at all. Maybe I'm just used to Gun being the one protecting me now.

Bianca: Oh, and yeah, Gun is good to go too so we'll see you later.

Josie: Oh no! I can't believe I accidentally gave away all my best sneaking tricks away to the enemy and didn't realize it until now! 😲😲😲

Josie: Considered what? How daddy he is or how you're not doing anything kinky with him?

Josie: Just making sure you don't decide to go get it cleaned or something #rood!

Bianca: Hahahaha! We're evil and sneaky infiltrating the enemy camps.

Bianca: How daddy he is.

Bianca: I wait when I have it cleaned.

G: I may or may not be stuffing my face full of whatever food I can find.

G: Don't @ me, but I'm hungry...

G: Yeah, babe. I'm cool with whatever you want.

G: Can I still get frisky as long as we're quiet?

B: You are so lucky.

B: You say that like I don't know you're always hungry.

B: Cool. I'll let her know we're game.

B: REALLY? I think that is definitely something we could try.

Josie: Fair enough 😜

Josie: You never know, B. They could just be the best at hiding them. 🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️

Josie: What's weird about it? It's not like you're doing anything weird with him. It's just a fact that Jay is daddy af.

Josie: Nope, not a thing! Just bring your lovely selves! Oh and your 💍 so I can see it irl!!

Bianca: Maybe. But I also learned hiding my cell phone in class from the best. AKA you so I don't know if they can pull anything over on me.

Bianca: Huh. Never really thought about it honestly.

Bianca: Like that ring ever comes off my finger honey.

Josie: But what if they can multitask or already know what you're going to teach?

Josie: Ummm at some point in high school? Idr? It suits him though doesn't it?

Josie: Awesomesauce! I hope to see you guys there!

Bianca: Then they wouldn't need to waste my time by asking me to re-explain in ten minutes later, or give me the excuse "my homework isn't done because I didn't understand it".

Bianca: Generally the ones that would already know what I'm going to teach are the ones that wouldn't be on their phones at that point in class anyway.

Bianca: Hmmm... I'm not sure. Maybe back then? But he's my best friend's husband and it just seems weird to call him "Daddy".

Bianca: For sure. Can we bring anything?

B: Hey. Where are you?

B: Josie wants to get everyone together tonight after the reunion. For a sleepover...

B: I'm game. Are you in?

Josie: Jeez 😦 I'm glad I'm not one of your students. I used to text everyone so much during class back in the day. But I'm sure you're a wonderful teacher to have regardless!

Josie: I will! Leigh and Daddy are in, btw. What about you and Gun?

Bianca: Honestly, if they're going to waste my time by texting instead of paying attention during my lesson, then I'm going to take the phones.

Bianca: Daddy? When did you start calling Jay Daddy?

Bianca: Sounds good to me, let me check with Gun.

Josie: You read your students' texts? 😮

Josie: I don't know actually? I haven't asked. Yikes! I hope no one had plans to leave immediately.

Bianca: If someone is going to text them in class... and they're going to do something worth me taking it away, then yes, I'll see the parts that flash up on the lock screen.

Bianca: I don't actually snoop through their phones. Although if I see something suspicious, I'm bound to hand it over to the proper authorities.

Bianca: You might want to do that!

“Oh it’s gotta be worse for you, right?” asked Addison with a smile. She recognized the woman and had somewhat kept up on her life given the fact that she was local. Even people you didn’t keep strictly in touch with had news about them floating around. “Have you been able to notice any difference between being around your students and our old classmates yet?” she joked. 

“Honestly?” Addi paused. “I think we’re gluttons for punishment. It’s the only explanation.” She moved closer to Bianca, ready to delve into someone else’s life for a minute. The ring was too big not to notice. “Okay, where’s the person who gave you that seriously gorgeous ring and where can I get one?” She was fully engaged now. “Ugh.” So jealous.

Bianca shook her head; “probably not in the way you’d think though.”  Perhaps Addison did remember her after all.  “It’s still as life or death and hormonal as I remember.  Except maybe more so.  And perhaps with the invention of technology, the news, and by that I mean gossip, moves at lightening speeds.  No more waiting to pass a note between classes or to read something on the bathroom wall.  It’s instantaneous between texts and emails.”  Bianca shivered slightly.  “It’s vicious.”  

“I don’t disagree.  I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to come but well...” Bi shrugged.  Part of her thought if she came tonight, if she got out of her shell a little more, she might be able to convince some people she’d actually done something with her life; apart from become just another boring high school teacher.  Her grin was instantaneous when Addison noticed and then commented on the ring.  Her cheeks flushed slightly, as they always did when she talked about Gunnie because sometimes it was too bizarre even by her dramatic standards.  

Bianca looked around but couldn’t immediately spot her fiance.  “Do you remember Gun Lee?  He’s a back up dancer now and has done some modelling.  We reconnected when I ended up in one of his weekend dance workshops a couple of years ago.  A coffee after class to catch up, turned into a dinner date, and quite a few more after that.  And the rest, as they say, is history.”    She looked at the other woman.  “What about you?  What have you been doing?”
