School reunions

A friend of mine went to a school reunion a while ago and it got me thinking about all the people I went to school with and what they might be doing now.

I think every school has its stereotypes. There’s always a Bully and a few morons behind him or her, a Heart Throb and a Swot. Ever wondered what happened to them? Here’s what I think happened to them.

The School Bully

We all know that bullies are really just cowards who are a bit thick and insecure. I know you’re meant to forgive and forget but I imagine there are a lot of people out there who will never be able to forgive the bully for making their life a misery. Here’s hoping that the bully is having a really shit life. Sorry. Hopefully working in a chip shop and smelling of battered Cod.

The Heart Throb

Oh this is an easy one. I guarantee that the school Heart Throb lost his looks when he was about 18. I bet you he’s balding and has a beer belly. He’ll often look at his school photos and wonder where it all went wrong.

Little Miss Popular

She’ll be married (unhappily) to the Heart Throb. Little Miss Popular will be trying desperately to cling on to her looks. Not adverse to a bit of surgery she’s the living embodiment of mutton dressed (badly) as lamb.

The Loner

The dark horse. Beneath the shy exterior lay a party animal desperate to get out. Probably a lap dancer or a stripper now. Or an actor dahling.

The one everyone picked on

Now a Wrestling champion. Or a heavy weight boxer.

The swot

Still a swot I’m afraid. This person will definitely have a high flying career, probably working 100 hours a week in the City and a member of the companies debating society.

The rebel

At school The Rebel was the one who always bunked off, dyed their hair and was probably the first in their class to lose their virginity. Now? Married with three children and attending Church every Sunday.
