When We Were Young
I felt like a fool.
And in order not to look like one, I quickly snatched up a piece of those bright red mini-hot dogs, threw it in the air and caught it with my mouth. Yeah, I wanted to show off. Maybe if I impressed her enough before attempting a conversation, she’d be more inclined to hang out with me at this lame party. I was grinning proudly of myself while I chewed. You have to admit, chucking a piece of food high in the air and catching it with your mouth was pretty darn impressive. Or.. at least I thought it was. She barely blinked an eye. Actually, she didn’t even look at me.
If it was even possible, I felt like an even bigger fool.
And to make matters worse.. I began to panic. And when I panic, I say the most stupid and obnoxious things. Case in point..
“Hey Goldilocks.. what’s your name?”
Idiotic Bette, very idiotic. At that time, how was I to know that one of her greatest pet peeves was being called names by others? So yes, during our first meeting, I offended her off the bat.
So quite expectedly, my lame conversation starter blew up on my face.
“None of your business, curly tops.” She shoots me the evil eye before stalking away to follow after her sisters outside.
I stood alone by the buffet table, my eyes growing even wider than before. I was too floored by the unique sound of her voice to even show or feel disappointment that I was shot down bad. Her voice resonated inside my body like a captivating melody that paralyzes its prey. Our small, upscale neighborhood was mostly comprised of home grown Philadelphians and a few New Yorkers and Bostonians in the mix. When you hear something everyday, your ear gets so used to it and you don’t notice their accents anymore; their voices was never a cause for pause for me like hers was. Her voice was unmistakably from the south. And to my ears, who had never encountered such a sound in the flesh except on TV, that was as foreign as can be – heck, exotic even. I was enthralled. I was too young to make big important decisions regarding my future.. but I decided then and there that I could get used to hearing that wonderful sound every single day for the rest of my life. But.. it seems it was not meant to be. Cause when I approached her and tried my darndest to get her to speak to me again, she scowled, flipped her hair back and hurriedly walked away. She wanted to get away from me so bad you’d think I had some sort of contagious disease.
