I was in the city today for business and I ran into one of my old high school classmates.

That was bizarre and I never want to do that again.

I feel so dirty now.

[xp_darcy]

...why do you feel dirty? Oh no, did you have to make pleasantries???

[xp_daredevil]

worse. I had to pretend to like him and catch up over coffee.

[xp_darcy]

Oh no. Next time you can use me as an excuse to get out of it. :P

[xp_daredevil]

I survived and he has all the same teeth now that he did before I met him.

He mostly just wanted to brag on himself.

[xp_darcy]

Well good, your superpower isn't dentistry. :p

[xp_daredevil]

hey, I can handle a basic tooth extraction when required!

[xp_darcy]

Hm, probably not a coincidence that my playlist chose "Dentist!" right as I read this...

[xp_daredevil]

of course. coincidence.

I assume not a high school friend from the dirty feeling?

You good, though? Want a twizzler?

[xp_daredevil]

I wasn't...close to most of the kids in my high school. Didn't really fit in.

I would love a twizzler please.

[xp_cypher]

oh god, if anyone I went to middle school with shows up in NYC I would probably just disappear up a building.

[xp_daredevil]

but would anyone recognize you from middle school?

and maybe I'm wrong, but aren't you...not from NYC?

[xp_cypher]

I mean, yeah, but NYC is a very popular tourist destination, so the possibility is nonzero...

[xp_daredevil]

true. but tourists thankfully tend to mostly stay in their area and leave the rest of us alone

[xp_tarot]

They would not. Middle School Doug is adorable, but has braces and sports glasses and weighs 8 pounds with a brick in his pocket and has both arms made of arm and not one arm made of nanite machines.

(I have seen pictures)

[xp_daredevil]

yeah, see no one would recognize him. though, apparently he and I looked very similar at that age.

I'm more identifiable.

[xp_hawkeye]

Wait, who was it?

[xp_daredevil]

Aaron Edelstein

why?

[xp_hawkeye]

Was that the dude whose smell you followed around for a month until he caught you?

[xp_daredevil]

NO! that was Christine Reynolds.

Aaron Edelstein was the guy that was a giant douche about me being adopted and stuff

[xp_hawkeye]

Ooooh.

I mean. Good thing I didn't meet up with him. He might've remembered me. Talk about awkward.

[xp_daredevil]

eh. I doubt he would have given our age difference?

but guys like him rarely change

[xp_hawkeye]

I mean it's more like he might've remembered that time I threatened to punch his balls so hard he'd be tasting his own pubes for the rest of his life if he kept hassling you.

He didn't give you any shit, did he?

[xp_daredevil]

oh I forgot you did that.

nah. he was mostly bragging on himself and stuff. he's a hospital administration manager
