The year is 2030, and Loretto Academy has called back the class of 2020 to gather for their 10 year reunion. 

The class of 2020 has anxiously awaited gathering together again to remember those four years of high school and their unexpected ending.

Every girl has taken time off from their busy and successful lives to come back together in the place where everything began. 

The first girl to arrive is Nadia Chabre — she has been working as an artist for one of the biggest marketing firms in America, and the beautiful decorations around the gym are all courtesy of her.

Shortly after her arrival, more and more girls begin to enter into the gym, such as Andrea Santos and Norma Silva. 

Andrea Santos arrived early, making sure not to miss one moment of the reunion; a natural in her field, Andrea flew through medical school and her residency and now works as one of the top neurosurgeons in Juarez.

Norma Silva flew back in for the reunion, but she arrives at Loretto in a flashy limo; over the past ten years, she has been building up her own business in Boston and become wildly successful. 

Rebecca Terrazas and Victoria Villarreal arrive together, and though they have not seen each other in many years, their friendship is still as strong as ever, and they are happy to spend a night away from their responsibilities. 

Rebecca’s famous graphic design company has designed eye-catching advertisements for America’s most popular movies and TV shows, while Victoria is the head of her own laboratory which is currently developing the vaccine that will completely eradicate coronavirus.

Victoria Torres arrives soon after, still in her scrubs and speaking fluent French with Lupita Lucero.

Victoria has spent the last few years in France saving hundreds of lives with Médecins Sans Frontières, and she has kept in touch with Lupita, who has been the United States ambassador to France for the past two years.

The girls hear the sound of a plane flying overhead, and when they go outside to investigate, they see Air Force One land on top of the building and President Zoe Andritsos steps out and greets her former classmates.

Zoe went through law school after leaving Loretto and became such a successful, compassionate lawyer that the Constitution was amended to lower the required age for the presidency just so Zoe could run in 2028 at the age of 26.

Lifelong friends Victoria DuBois and Mia Gates enter the gym, laughing as always at something Victoria did. 

Victoria is a lawyer who has given legal advice to big-name companies like Apple and Disney, and Mia is a certified registered nurse anesthetist. 

Cassandra Quintero arrives in her catering truck, bringing everyone many of her delicious desserts that she made at her own restaurant.

After traveling all over Europe, Brianna Diaz has come back home for the reunion; she is a worldwide advocate and speaker for the bright future of business, as she has become an international affairs businesswoman.

Briefcase in hand, Fernanda Ochoa steps into the gym to greet everyone; after she earned her degree in criminology, she became a formidable lawyer. 

The bright flashing of cameras catches everyone’s eyes, and pursued by paparazzi, Jacqueline Porras enters the gym as if she were on a runway; she has modeled in every New York Fashion Week since 2024.

Emilia Ramirez and Marcia Gonzalez-Wisbrun arrive together, talking as if no time has passed since they last saw each other. 

Emilia is currently the marketing director for Zara, and Marcia is a rising architect currently planning out Emilia’s future third mansion.

The doors to the gym burst wide open, and a flood of girls pour in.

Genesis Aguirre, Bryanna Alcantar, Savina Verdugo, Paulina Ponce, and Lynnette Garcia all arrive together, laughing and causing a commotion and reminiscing on all of the lunches in senior year they spent giggling in the foyer.

Lynnette, Genesis, and Paulina each found their passion in the field of medicine; Lynnette and Genesis became nurses, while Paulina became a physical therapist.

Both stylish and smart, Savina Verdugo became a crime scene investigator who has helped crack open the case and deliver justice to some of America’s most heinous criminals.

Bryanna Alcantar built up her own real estate company from the ground, and she has made sure that she and her friends have been living in the lap of luxury in their beautiful mansions.

The sound of hooves on the ground interrupts the flow of conversation, and everyone looks up as Alexis Diaz rides into the gym on her horse, confident in herself as ever; after high school, she went on to become a cattle breeder and a championship-winning jockey.

Cheers erupt from those gathered when the Leyva twins, Ashley and Madison, finally arrive on the scene.

Ashley went on to become a medical doctor earning hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, and Madison became a forensic scientist, analyzing evidence from crime scenes and fulfilling the core value of justice.

The dynamic trio of Catherine Carreon, Mizuki Nagae, and Bianca Ramos arrive together soon after; though life has separated them, their friendship has remained as strong as ever over the years.

Catherine went on to perfect her craft and become a master set designer for Broadway and even a couple of Hollywood movies.

Mizuki earned her degree in engineering, but she has retained her passion for art; her most famous and impressive accomplishment has been the massive bridge she designed in the shape of a dragon.

Bianca went on to become a New York Times bestselling author, releasing dozens of hit books that quickly found their way to the silver screen.

Anacristina Muniz arrives soon after, waving to her classmates from atop a Disney float, playing from a beautiful grand piano and leading the class once more in singing Oceans.  

After Loretto, Cristy went on to become a Disney Imagineer, and she led the effort to build a Disney theme park right here in El Paso. (That’s sure to make Mr. Chavez happy!)

The sound of four wheels on the pavement can be heard, and Melina Olivas rides into the gym on a skateboard, camera hanging around her neck; she has been working as a photojournalist for National Geographic for the past few years.

Arriving late as always, Melissa Hidalgo flew home from Los Angeles and headed straight from the airport to the reunion. 

She is the plastic surgeon for all the superstars in Los Angeles — if anyone wants any work done, she’s the person to call. 

Now that everyone has arrived, the class of 2020 gathers around the gym to discuss their lives and careers, catching up on all the things they missed in the last 10 years.

Although Claudia never learned the importance of punctuality, she dedicated herself to her career and became a highly talented plastic surgeon, the crown jewel in her field.
