Yesterday, I went to a primary school reunion. It was the first time I’d seen my old classmates for five years – since I left primary school. The others get together quite often, but my family moved to another area when I was eleven, so I hadn’t seen them for a long time.
Poppy Symonds was there. I didn’t recognize her at first. Her hair had changed a lot. She used to have short, dark hair and now it’s long and blonde. Her personality hadn’t changed. She always used to joke and was friendly with everyone. She used to be good friends with Jamie, but they’d argued and he’d made new friends. She’d got quite upset at first, but now she’s got a different best friend called Ben. I hadn’t expected to see Simon. His mother had got an important job in Paris and his family moved there when he finished his last year at primary school. He had made a lot of new friends in Paris because he started his new secondary school at the same time as the other children. He used to be quiet and quite shy at primary school, but we talked a lot last night. It was a good evening!
