Answer 1

Well, it doesn’t happen a lot when you unexpectedly meet someone you know. But a couple of days ago when I was out for lunch, I bumped into a high school classmate whom I haven’t seen since we graduated.

I was walking along the street when I saw him standing in front of a restaurant. He hasn’t changed a bit, so I recognized him right immediately. I approached him and said hi; however, it took him a while to realize that I was his high school classmate. At that moment, I felt very awkward. Luckily, it didn’t last long and we started to give each other a quick update about our lives recently, such as where we are working currently, our families and, of course, we swapped phone numbers and promised to keep in touch in future.

Since we were both in hurry, we didn’t spend much time chatting to each other. However, it always feels good when you unexpectedly meet a long-lost friend. If we had more time, we’d probably reminisced [remi’nis] about our high school memories with all the crazy things that we did.
