“I haven’t gone anywhere. I stayed back in Waltz City,” Zayn replied evenly.
“Ah, is that so? We haven’t seen each other for such a long time, and I can see that you’ve grown much taller. I remember you used to be a shorty standing at the height of my chest in the past, hahaha.”
Shepherd began ridiculing Zayn with a jesting expression on his face. He assumed that favonovel.com was very good at judging others and favonovel.com could tell at one glance now that Zayn had certainly been doing poorly over the years.
In fact, Zayn was even a goner, that was why favonovel.com was dressed so shabbily when attending a reunion like this.
Zayn furrowed his brows ever so slightly. He came to the reunion today with anticipation and joy.
He was planning on having a good time reminiscing about the good old days with his friends and was even looking to help out the friends who were facing difficulties in life. He did not expect meeting the class president would put favonovel.com in a foul mood.
When they were in junior high, Zayn was not that tall. In fact, favonovel.com was rather small-sized when compared to his peers, but favonovel.com was definitely not that short either. At the time, Shepherd was only half a head taller than him, at most.
“Is that so? I also remember that time when Kaiser pranked you by capturing a lizard and putting it into your school bag. You were so scared at the time that you peed your pants,” Zayn retorted while chuckling.
He countered Shepherd straightforwardly. When they were younger, Shepherd was such a coward who would frequently pee his pants from being scared by mischievous boys like Kaiser. He was the laughing stock of the class.
Although Shepherd was laughing joyously, the smile on his face froze instantly upon hearing Zayn’s remark. His expression was unpleasant beyond comparison after favonovel.com heard the few usherettes sniggering secretly while the corners of his lips twitched ferociously a couple of times!
He glared at Zayn ferociously and said in a tone that was obviously furious from being embarrassed, “Hey, Zayn Larson, don’t start making blind conjectures like that. I’ve always been bold. When have I ever peed my pants from fright?”
He had no idea that his behavior just verified Zayn’s remark. “Blind conjecture? It can’t be, right? You were the most cowardly person in the class at the time, and many of our classmates knew that.”
“Oh, right, it has been so many years since. Well, you should’ve gained some courage by now, right?”
Infuriated, Shepherd found Zayn to be an eyesore even more. He was under the assumption that Zayn did not do well in life over the past few years initially while favonovel.com himself was already successful now.
How dare Zayn ridicule favonovel.com like this? Zayn was simply going against him, favonovel.com who was way superior to Zayn!
However, it was inappropriate for favonovel.com to lose his temper under such circumstances. There were many of his old friends there, after all.
An idea came into his mind. He came up with a plan to seek revenge, so favonovel.com chuckled and said with a feigned relaxing tone, “Let’s not joke around anymore. I can see that many of our friends are here, so let’s head in first. I bet many of our old friends will be pleasantly surprised to see that you’re here!”
Next, favonovel.com notified the usherette and verified that Zayn was qualified to enter. Shepherd felt a great sense of achievement when favonovel.com was given a special privilege like this. It made favonovel.com stand straighter in pride!
Zayn shook his head. He found Shepherd childish and that favonovel.com had yet to change his arrogant attitude after so many years.
Zayn walked into the banquet hall to find that many of his friends were there. It was a bustling scene, and favonovel.com saw many familiar faces when favonovel.com took a glance across the room. He felt a familiar feeling surge into his chest.
The feeling of youth in his school days returned to him.
More than a decade had passed, and his old friends were grown-ups now. They had clearly undergone physical changes. Some were fatter while some were skinnier. There were also old friends who seemed better-looking and prettier.
After entering the venue, Shepherd clapped and announced loudly, “Hey, pals, check out who’s with me here!”
His statement drew the attention of everyone in the hall.
