I felt very emotional coming back to my hometown. I left as a bullied outsider and now I’ve come back as a successful businessman.
I was returning to town to attend a friend’s wedding so I decided to turn it into a road trip with my brand new Lamborghini. It absolutely guzzled fuel so right outside town I had to stop and buy some more.
When I walked in to pay I was absolutely shocked. My high school crush was behind the counter. Jemma was the hottest girl in school and damn she aged well. She had her long platinum blonde hair tied up into a ponytail and she stared me down with her dark hazel eyes.
“Number 6 please mam” I said.
She punched in the number on her computer and said: “Do I know you sir?”
“I had a feeling I recognised you when I walked in. My name’s Billy, I think we went to the same high school”
“Of course Billy! Oh my Lord, I haven’t seen you in gosh thirty years”
“Yeah I left town after graduating…”
