If you were me what would the message be like?? Any suggestion?
With a sincere apology, detailing how you feel. I'd say something like,

"I'm so sorry I hurt you in high school."

LMAO! I do not know if you are for real or not but here goes it…
Lol..OF COURSE people who did “bad” things back in hs do not recall the event until it pasted in their ignorant faces!
I have never been bullied myself I was reminded of this on fb recently.
However HS is serious business. My hs reunion is coming up in august and one of our dearest friends is chair, ‘
She stated “I hope your sis is going to be there” I was honest and stated “Sis stated that she could not STAND some of the people going so why should she go now and see them when she wants to pound them out of existence now like she did in hs?’ Our friend stated “Best time, to laugh at them”
Honestly I HAVE NEVER been ridiculed in HS and I loathed some and if someone ridiculed me? And tried to walk up like nothing happened? Very little has changed,
If you gave me a hard time in HS and somehow grew some balls and learned your place in this time? Does not mean this person OWES you anything So throwing a drink in your face? Consider yourself lucky. If it were my sister? You would have been on the floor, lol, ‘
If you had it coming then? Consider it karma. Just saying

You know kid stuff. My friends and I didn't see it as harmful.

But she seems to have blown it out of proportion and treated me like I'm the worst of worst on the party.
If you knew this was what she was talking about, you should have appologized. Seriously, what would an appology have cost you? What is your reason for not giving one? You treated her mean and never appologized. The fact you refuse to appologize now tells me you think what you did was ok even though you, obviously, hurt her and it still bothers her. You claim she's stuck on the past but so are you. If you had grown up since then you would have appologized. You haven't. A big person appologizes when they realize they've hurt someone or, at least, when the opportunity presents itself. The opportunity presented itself and you, arrogantly, refused to appologize for your past actions which shows you have not changed.

She didn't take the high road here but neither did you. Look at your hand. When you point that one finger at her, you're pointing three back at yourself. You treated her crapily. You owe her an appology.

you treated this person like crap for years in hs and think she should magically get over it when you arent even a decent enough person to apologize for it when she brings it up
instead you play dumb when you know exactly what she's mad about and wonder why that got her more upset
grow up

she didnt come running up to the op and throw a drink on her
she clearly made reference to the crap the op put her through for years and the op played dumb acting like she had no idea what this person was referring to which set her off

Anyways she is so stuck on the past that she threw a drink in my dress in front of everyone (my bf was there too). I didn't even think she would be on the party but apparently she's friends with certain people too.
I was just trying to talk to her normally and said ''Hey how's it been Marcie'' and immediately she goes on ''Hi, no wait I know who you are''. Ok for several seconds I forgot but then play along and said ''What are you talking about''? It seems that she was too focused with an apology but I wouldn't give it because I just think it's pathetic when you are begging for one and being stuck on ages ago. When I didn't give it to her, that's when she threw the drink and well I end up throwing juice at her too. A fight was about to break but someone separated us.
It was something along this line (a couple moments before the fight):
Her: So you have no regrets at all?
Me: I don't know. I think one needs to get stop focusing on the past and live in the present.
Her: But do you remembered me?
Me: (By this moment I knew clearly what she meant but play along) Well yes sort of but you know it's been a long time, I'm forgetful at times (giggles as I was trying to joke with her and be as polite as possible)
Then that's when she threw the drink and fight started.
Good Grief...a "Jerry Springer Moment"..??? Yes, there are people who can't forget the past and you didn't say what you may or may not have done in the past. As soon as you did remember, why didn't you walk away? I would have excused myself and walked away especially if you were not willing to apologize. Tossing drinks in each others faces was childish and a true sign that you two probably had an explosive relationship back "in the day" and like I said, walking away when you became aware might have been best. Talk about remembering the past?? Now everyone at this affair will say "Oh yeah, remember when XXX tossed a drink in XXX's face and that fight broke out? Ha, ha, ha..." Nice memory you just created.

I agree. She, basically, asked for an appology and when it didn't come, threw a drink on her. An appology could have stopped all of this but the OP was too arrogant to give one. I doubt one will be accepted now. Now it's being done because the OP realizes she looks bad for not giving one. If she meant it, she would have appologized when the opportunity presented itself.

While throwing a drink on someone isn't a sign of maturity, it's kind of undertandable when someone stands there and act like YOU are the problem when THEY are the one who tormented you in high school.

I have never and never will attend a high school reuinion because of crap that happened in high school. I don't need to be reminded that high school was the 4 most miserable years of my life. Bullies, unfortuantely, do not care that they leave scars. The OP was a bully. Bullies never appologise unless they get caught and then they don't mean it. They just do it to try and make themselves look better.

And before anyone accuses me of being stuck on the past, I am not. I just refuse to relive it. High school is not a time I remember fondly so I have no need to get together with the people I went to high school with.

You glorify the past when the future dries up.
