Ok so I do not ever dance again with Mary...
I start into high school and life is normal.
Most of the class I am in are people I know from grade school, and there is one new girl I like. So like freight train I go after her. I stand next to her in the class picture, I try to sit near her in classes, I ask her out, I try EVERYTHING and she will not go out with me....but another guy who frankly to this day I can not figure out why, she flocks to.
Listen, if he was a bad boy, or good looking, or a brain, or funny, or anything I would get it. I might not like it but I get it. Even his name Joe Duck was a joke. But she wanted him. Finally I got the message but every so often in the next 4 years I would ask her out, get a no and move on.
Duck left after freshman year.
Now here is where life can be funny.....There was this other guy that was even deeper in love w/ her, bought her flowers, gifts, and really tried. On some level I saw his trying as noble. But when we all discovered a few years later that "Linda" was now "Lou" I laughed. I figure I never really had a chance. The other guy though has never shown his face at reunions, I hear because he fears being mocked for chasing what became a man...I just laugh at the situation and even the one time he came to the reunion I asked if I could get the dance I never got in high school. he said yes and we danced a few steps as a gag.
BACK TO HS......(next time)
