How do you define an acquaintance? I define ‘acquaintance’ as a person that is known but should not be bothered to befriend.

I recently went out to eat lunch at a commonplace with two of my old schoolmates back in elementary school. You have to realize that I had not seen them for nearly several years so it was quite a shock to me to see that they had changed so much. However, notwithstanding my own changes. To continue, one was loud and raucous and the other was a lot more diminished in sociability than before and to add to it, he was in love (or more like an infatuation).
In addition, these particular two brought two more friends, both were girls whom I did not know at all. As it is, when they invited me, they did not mention the addition of others which I thought was a bit reprehensible but it doesn’t matter - I played the civil one.
I was a bit annoyed at myself throughout the luncheon, I percieved quite a lot of things that I would have liked to escape me. Subtle flirtatious movements, coarse and boorish type of words, actions that were indelicate and their crass manners. I should have liked to have my childish mind take over so these things would have not caught my notice, but it’s impossible.
I would have liked it if things would return to the years in elementary, everyone knew each other, the feeling of being outcasted was never apparent - that would be nice. Perhaps I’ll dream of it when I sleep.
