The invitation landed on Sarah's kitchen counter with a gentle thud. She picked it up and held it up to the light, turning it over and over. It was a strange feeling, this nostalgia. A chuckle escaped her lips.

She remembered the cliques, the gossip, the unspoken rivalries. Now, after all this time, the playing field was level. She started to giggle as she imagined the reunion. A plan slowly began to form in her mind.

She grabbed a pen and started circling dates on her calendar. She decided to learn a new dance. She was going to shock and entertain them all. She knew this was going to be an experience she would cherish.
