I was busy looking for some boy’s apparel in the kid’s section at the mall yesterday when I felt somebody nudge me from behind. I was surprised to see that it was my classmate Ruth from grade school. She’s still the same as I remember her: quite shy and soft spoken. But one thing that has changed is that she’s not the same skinny Ruth that I remember. She’s gained a lot of weight. And I was so surprised to find that she’s still single. No offense meant, but I really thought she had given birth due to the shape her body was in.
We talked for a while and she couldn’t hide her jealousy towards me because, as per her, I looked more like a single woman than her when in fact I’ve already given birth to Yogi. She even asked if I’m into exercise or if I am using a certain fitness equipment to have kept my body in such good shape. We both laughed when I told her none of the above. I just told her that I watch my diet and told her to watch hers too and we laughed again.
It was nice seeing her once again. I’m hoping to see more of my grade school classmates soon. I hope, I hope!
