We used to go to Springfield East together. You were the first person I got to know when I started there. We used to sit next to each other in class, but then the teachers made us sit apart because we were always giggling so much. I remember wed go back to your house after school every day and listen to music for hours on end. Wed get all the Beatles records as soon as they came out. Once we ate all the food in your fridge and your mother was furious. Do you remember that time we nearly blew up the science lab? The teacher went crazy, but it wasnt our fault. We used to call him Mickey Mouse because he had sticky-out ears. I still see Penny, and shes still as wild as ever. We meet up every now and then, and well always end up chatting about old times together. Shes always talking about a class reunion.
