It all happens so fast. One moment, I’m trying to outrun paparazzi on Sunset Strip by sprinting across the street—the next, a car knocks me a few feet airborne, and I land on my back with all the wind knocked out of me. I try to sit up, but my vision is blurry. Someone is trying to ask me if I’m okay. Something about their voice is oddly familiar. A nearby bike cop rushes over, pulling whoever it is back and keeping the small group of haranguing paparazzi away.
I’m okay. No worries. Don’t call an ambulance.
My vision finally returns. I wish it never did. I’m speechless.
It’s you. You, the person I made life a living hell for in high school. You, the person I would trip every day in the hallways. You, the person I would take embarassing photos of and send around groupchats with our peers, making sure you never caught a break from my torment even when you tried to escape into your social media.
You look…different. Less quiet. Less afraid of your shadow. My gut twists in a mix of indignance and guilt.
Shoot, guess you still can’t drive.
My joke lands weak. You’re just staring, in shock, mortification, anger, I don’t know. I can’t even feel the ache in my back anymore. Just a ball of dread in my stomach. I let out a deep shuddering breath and stand to my feet, reaching out a hand to you to shake. An olive branch.
I won’t sue. Don’t worry. But the least you could do is grab me a beer at The Rainbow Bar and Grill, now that you’ve realigned my spine. Punk.
