An Old Classmate Invites Me to Her Wedding with My HusbandChapter 1
I was in the middle of a video call with several shareholders when my high school class group, which had been silent for a decade, suddenly exploded with notifications.
[Megan, did you see Felicity's post? She's getting married today! Are you really not coming?]
As the messages flooded in, I realized that Felicity Simons, the prom queen of our high school, was tying the knot.
All our old classmates were attending.
I replied, trying to keep it professional: [Sorry, I'm swamped with work at the moment.]
But the responses were swift and brutal.
[What could you possibly be busy with? Someone who hasn't posted in a hundred years must be doing pretty poorly!]
[Seriously, just admit you're embarrassed and stop pretending to be so busy.]
Felicity chimed in herself: [Remember our bet? I always said I'd marry someone better than you!]
I shot back: [Can't say I recall that.]
Immediately, others jumped in.
[Felicity's husband is the CEO of a publicly traded company! They even sent over a hundred luxury cars to pick her up today!]
[Sounds like you're worried about how your life compares, so you're pretending to forget!]
