High school reunions have a lot of potential for drama. Some attend simply because they want to catch up with old friends and revisit the past. But others are more interested in showing off, settling old scores, or comparing their lives to everyone else’s. The former geeks are hoping that they’re more successful than the former jocks, the former jocks are hoping that the former prom queen is still single, and everyone wants to know who got pregnant, who got rich, and who got fat.
Mason recently attended his 10 year high school reunion. Many high schools throw parties where you can meet up with your old classmates years after you graduated. Find out if Mason found that prom queen or found that everyone else was more successful than him.
catch up = to talk about things that have happened
showing off = brag; display one's wealth or beauty
Settling old scores = get even with someone; get revenge
geeks = a nerd, a dork; an odd person with uncool obsessions
jocks = athlete; usually an aggressive, brutish guy
Pah
