Everyone froze as they waited in eager anticipation of where they would assign Zoe.
"Where would Zoe be assigned?"
"I don't like to be with her."
In general, most felt awkward towards her.
It was not just because of the unfortunate events that happened to her then. They totally twisted her reputation 180 degrees, from being the most attractive and sought-after girl in their school, to being the most pitiful and crestfallen one.
"Yeah, we haven't seen her for fifteen long years!"
Most of them were always present in their annual gatherings, so they have an idea about what the others have been through.
"That's right! This was the first time we will be with Zoe. And the first time we will have a grand team-building with challenges such as this!"
Zoe, on the other hand, was unaffected. She looked at them but she was not at all intimidated.
But she was uncomfortable being with them after a decade and a half.
