    I did, but undercover. It was hilarious!

    A lot changed in my life after graduation, including my first name and my surname (the latter due to marriage, the first thanks to deed poll, I always disliked the name my parents gave me…).

    A few dear old friends from school knew about me living abroad, about all the other changes going on in my life and since all of us were the weird folks back then, we decided to prank everyone else big time.

    So, I went there as a friend of one attending. Fricking no one recognised me. Not a soul. But they kept asking why person x was the only one no one found contact details of online, or any other way of contact. The person they knew just disappeared into thin air after graduation.

    A big mystery no one could figure out who wasn’t in on the ruse. Some great theories we’ve overheard that evening included, but were not limited to:

    A) dead

    B) in prison

    C) became a hermit

    I stood right next to those people I went to school with for over 10 years, some I knew even longer.

    It was a fun challenge for me keeping a straight face for the entire evening while drinks were also involved. Not one person could figure out they knew me in the first place. :D
