      Our Reunion - Chai Rose

      Nobody expected Robert Lewiston to attend his 25th high school reunion. He was too big of a movie star. Surely he had better things to do out in Los Angeles partying with his Hollywood friends or maybe working 20 hour days on his next movie. He’d starred in 15 films over the past 20 years and his last movie, Meet Me in Paris, grossed over 100 million worldwide. He was an A-List movie star. He had better things to do.

      But the rumors began a few weeks before the reunion. Someone’s cousin or brother or best friend said Robert Lewiston returned his invitation indicating he’d be attending. But that couldn’t be true. Since he left on a plane for New York City, just two weeks after high school graduation, he’d never been back. First he lived in New York City for a couple years and then he moved to LA. He even moved his parents out to California with him.

      There was no reason to ever go back.

      At the 10th reunion his name came-up often: Can you believe how famous Robbie has gotten? And Robbie never looked that good in school. And of course: I always knew there was something about him. I knew he’d be a star.

      But nobody had heard from him since high school, and nobody expected to ever hear from him again.

      Yet there he was, walking into the Adieno High School gymnasium. He wore khaki pants and a stripped button-up shirt that was open at the neck, with no tie. Only the top button was buttoned on his dark blue blazer. Robert felt the eyes of the room all pull to him. He sucked in a deep breath and walked to the bar in the far corner.

      He knew why he was there, but he couldn’t tell anyone. His agent thought he was crazy, his publicist thought it was cute but ridiculous, and his therapist warned that he might be setting himself up for disappointment. But he felt like he had to go. He had to try.

      He’d lived a life beyond his dreams – beyond anyone’s dreams, really He’d been everywhere that was anywhere, and he’d met everyone who was anyone. He’d made love to some of the most beautiful and sought after women in the world. He was rich. He was famous. And yet none of it meant as much as it should. Because it wasn’t what he truly wanted. As great and as amazing as his life was, he always knew it could be better.

      Because it had been better with her.

      Everything was perfect with Emma.

      She was the real reason he’d come here. What did she look like after 25 years? What was her life like? Was she married? Did she have a family? Did she become a doctor like she’d always wanted to? Was she still the most beautiful woman in the world? Or had his memory played tricks on him through the years? Was he really just chasing fool’s gold?

      Robert grabbed his Vodka and tonic and turned around facing the gym. He guessed there were about 125 people in the gym. He’d gotten good at estimating how many people were in a room back in the early days when he used to look out at a theater after the show, just after they took their bows, when the house lights came-up, and guess in his head how many were watching him. Afterward he’d look the ticket sales and adjust his next guess accordingly. Toward the end
