When We Were Young
Rooted to where I stood beside my sister Kit and her boyfriend, I quietly observed as my mother, the ever gracious host, welcomed our newest neighbors into our humble home. Maxine Porter, the soft spoken housewife, still knew how to turn on the charm when the need arose. The golden haired family met her warm smile with matching ones of their own, exchanging the usual pleasantries. The adults then immersed themselves in mindlessly polite small talk while the behaved children stood idly by – trying to hide the fact that they wanted to break free from the old ones to join in on the fun happening at the garden outside. Christie Kennard motioned to her girls and introduced them one by one. I found myself straightening up and straining my ears in reflex. I wanted to hear her name. It was just too bad that I was standing too far away to hear what her lips had so shyly said.
When their parents finally gave the girls permission to roam the party on their own, I sprung into action like my ass had been lit on fire. Surprised, Kit glanced at me weirdly, but quickly brushed my queer behavior aside and returned all her attention to her boyfriend.
This new girl already had me captivated, that’s for sure, but the mystery surrounding her name intrigued me to painful proportions. I was hell bent on walking up to her and introducing myself, I’m sure she wouldn’t ignore me like her sisters would since we looked close in age. The pretty blonde had her back on me while she studied an array of my mom’s awesome cooking on the buffet table. I had always been so cocky and sure of myself, but with every step I took, I was petrified to realize that my confidence was leaving my body in waves. As I bridged the distance between us, I distinctly remember the peculiar feeling of my mouth growing bone dry. Not only that, but the sensation of my heart beating hard and fast inside my chest made me second guess my actions as well. Was I doing the right thing? This only happened to me when I knew I was in some sort of trouble with my parents for a misdeed. Was I in trouble now? I asked myself when I stood beside the girl, pretending to peruse the food too. My palms began to sweat in reflex. I was nervous, yet I didn’t know why. What was wrong with me? I had wondered at that moment. None of the kids in my neighborhood made me feel so anxious and unsure of myself like I did now. I was too caught up in the moment to think about why I was feeling this way for another girl – which I guess, wasn’t such a bad thing. Overanalyzing things never did me any good. I approached her intent on blowing her away with my inherent charm. But now that I’m here beside her.. I am utterly.. clueless. What will I say? What will I do? I was lost. I was charming alright, but my father was right when he said that charm without the proper words to go along with it was meaningless.
