So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

High School Memories: Part I
Friday. 6.8.12 1:37 am
I first met him in middle school. I remember him running after the bus. The kid I hated said, "Hey, look at that kid running! Ha-ha! All those guys look like cartoon characters."

By "those guys", he meant my friends. I didn't say anything because I wasn't very good at witty retorts. Plus he was kind of right.

By the time ninth grade came around I was in love with him, of course. My best friend and I admired his triceps from afar. He had at least five different code names that evolved every couple of months. All of the girls in history class were in love with him, too, but I was in love with him more and I was in love with him first. I suddenly cared desperately about a bunch of things that I hadn't thought that much about before, like the Green Bay Packers, Blink-182, and freeing Tibet. His necklace broke when we were playing football and I spent maybe an hour trying to find all of the pieces in the grass.

We had stupid things in common. We both liked Tibet, we both liked Blink-182, we both liked staring off into space for long periods of time. Ok, so maybe staring off into space was the only thing we had in common. We went bowling with our friends and he asked me if I wanted to come out to his car and check out his new stereo system. I sat in his car and he played me some music and nothing else happened. My best friend and I drove by his house one time and we were so distracted that she side-swiped a concrete guardrail.

I called him and talked to him for an hour about nothing before I got up the nerve to ask him to our school's Sadie Hawkins.

He said yes.

I got grounded for staying out too late that night. It was the only time I was ever grounded in my life. My parents said I couldn't take any phone calls for two weeks, unless it was him calling.

But he didn't call.


THE END
4 Comments.


My school never had a Sadie Hawkins dance. I guess I'm grateful for that; I probably would just feel bad when no one asked me.

I think you're completely neglecting the most important part of that letter.. I said "God bless." I mean, no matter how mean it may have been, once you tell them that you hope God blesses them, then you're covered right?

Right?


In any event, it was harsh.. but he locked me out of a room I paid for, essentially relegating me to sleep on the streets since I came home after the last bus back into town and couldn't have gotten to a hostel or hotel that evening. I know it was pretty harsh, but I have little sympathy for that guy.


The PACKERS? Wtf? You're a bronco, girl, never forget that again.

BTW, you know why he never called?















He's not me.

Way back, our school tried to have a Sadie Hawkins but they canceled when not enough people bought tickets. :|
