Crunch time—I mean literally. My extra credit courses behind me and a pretty wide assortment of messing around during the summer meant it was time to pay attention if I were really EVER going to that high school diploma. Senior year🤦♀️😏 I took the cheesy classes just to make sure I didn’t mess anything else up Incase things got too crazy—so I did what I had to do.
Mostly I couldn’t, wait to see Leo. He picked me up from school often—so after classes I’d stand and watch for him from the second story at the high school.
Admittedly there was a particular feeling of snobbery and pride that I was going downstairs and booking it out the road in a Corvette —with a good looking guy that really wanted to be with me.
You see —- I was pretty lonely at this school—THE WHOLE DAMN TIME! Probably because there wasn’t exactly love at home and I really didn’t fit in at school either. The friends I had in the first two years were the “intellect” group at the school. The only way I ended up hanging with these guys was because of Zeke. So by proxy—they let me cruise along with them—I mean like (I was glad they let me cause I didn’t have any body else to hang with). Ultimately they were a great group of people that had their own eccentricities, brilliant minds and surprisingly a lot less snobbery than others. And they saved me from an absolute solitary existence.
But when Zeke and I ended, the core group I had, kinda slipped away too.(ps—it was super great seeing them at the 40th reunion).
There will be many times I will reference back to those two years. As they were going to be formative—-I just didn’t know it then.
Beautiful life
