Brian was in no mood for a high school reunion but his father had urged him to go. His father, every year, gave a sum of money to the school for facilities and last year they couldn't accept his kindness anymore as they had everything they needed for the children's rights at education. He drove through the ten foot gate and found a parking bay at the furthest end where he saw a lovely attraction stepping out of a car. As she turned and he saw her face, he couldn't believe his eyes. She had changed in so many ways. She wasn't the walking celery stick that she was back in school days.
She was a natural beauty, voluptuous, sensual, just plain exquisite. That brown hair that was long back then was cut to her shoulder blades, those hazel eyes asking, no, more like pleading for some attention. She hadn't gotten taller though, she was still five foot and a few inches, didn't matter; very lovely as she had always been. He stepped up to her and called her by her name, "Chanelle, oh my heavens, you're still as lovely. How are you?" She looked stunned but he saw appreciation in her eyes.
Cheeks reddening she replied, "Brian, I'm alright and yourself? Although, I must say, you haven't changed a bit." Her voice, angelic he thought. "No complaints." They stared at each other for a few moments when an old friend of Brian's came to a halt. "Hey there buddy. I wasn't sure if you were going to make it tonight. Oh and who is your, uh, friend Brian?" Pete was looking her over and Brian didn't like the way Pete was looking at her.
"Pete my man how well do you know me, I wouldn't have come if my father hadn't bullied me into coming. And my friend here also attended this school and maybe if you weren't too busy gallivanting and salivating after all the girls you would've noticed her. This is Chanelle Peterson." Thinking back, Brian was the only one to notice Chanelle, nobody else. Pete nodded and walked away. Brian also saw a hint of jealousy run across those smooth features on his friends face. Did he want Chanelle? He hoped not, she was going to be his, not Pete's or anyone else's.
