high school reunion and high school drama

I graduated high school June 3, 2000. They have just now got around to planning a 10 year reunion. We have talked about it for a long time, what we were going to do and where we were going to have it. Then all of the sudden, nothing. The people that planned it disappeared and no one heard from them for months. Then all of the sudden they are planning a reunion at a welding shop at $30 a person & no alcohol. and We have to pay in 30 days or not go. Normally I would no condone drinking at such an event but I know these people and I would most definitely need a buzz around that lot.

I committed a sin by asking why so much and what all are we paying for and got blessed out by someone I used to be OK with. (blessed out - that's a southern term). needless to say I will not be going. Also Dear Boyfriend has to work and I will not have a big and scary body guard. He is 6'1 and 250. Big scary Filipino body guard at that. I also don't know how they would react to me taking someone that's not from this country. I grew up in a very uh small and uh Caucasian town. We were also referred to as the "country" or "redneck" school.

I was rudely reminded of why I left and not a minute too soon because I was starting to miss it.

I hate dramatic people even thought I've been accused of being dramatic. I don't know what it is about me but mean people can somehow sense my weakness. Bullys tend to separate me from the herd and focus on me. Why? I don't know but I do need to work on it. I really did think that we were grown up and beyond all that nonsense but apparently not. I was nothing but nice to this person and they were hateful and spiteful anyway. I am tired of being the one people always dump on.
