After 5 years...what happened to my schoolmates...

On Friday we had the meeting with my schoolmates from highschool. Pub called "The library", full of cigarettes' smoke, a little bit dark... And we - after five years. Five long years we did not see each other, contact each other... Somehow we made our ways in a different dirrections in life... I see maybe three people from my school regularly. About maybe two more I know what they are doing. We tried to keep in touch with more, but it simply didn't work out. With some, I never had a good contact, so it faded away immediately... And now...
When I went to the table, there were only 4 of them... And two of them I barely recognised! They changed so much, grew up... I would pass them by on the street probably not even noticing that that face is familiar. Actually about one of my friends at the beginning I though was "an avec"!!! :) Then few more came, and we started talking about us... I noticed some of my friends haven't changed. They still laugh in the same way as before, have exactly the same way of talking, they just do a bit more serious things in life... few have already graduated, few still study... and we all have been abroad for longer then 4 months... we exchanged information about the colleagues that were not present, because they live somewhere else, far away in other countries, or a bit closer, or because they had something else to do. We waited so much for the information if we already have "our first kid" :) The answer is "yes we do!" :) there are very few married ones, many are in long-term relationships, some still singles :) So in a way we did grew up, in some we are still the same kids we were before... maybe there is still not many things we have in common, but for sure there is something we share. Time we spent together. Memories. Part of our youth...
