Hair pressed to a silky straight, pinned to accentuate the purposefully placed curls.
Pink and red party dresses wrinkled from schlepping around a backpack.
Toes painted and blistered from the small clicking high heels.
7th grade girls await gifts, winks or "the look" for the special boy.
It doesn't come.
8th period is heartache.

ReplyDeleteI love your use of the words "wrinkled" and "schlepping" and "clicking" - makes the entire piece very vivid.
