Chapter 7 - I was smiling because he was smiling

August 13 93

I just got back from handing out flyers for a show at Rum Runners. Crawl is playing and Marie's older brother is the drummer, so we got the job to distribute. It kinda sucked. We wanted to just put them on people's cars but we were told that is illegal so we'd actually have to hand them to people and it really sucks when they look at you like you are dumb or funny looking or crazy.

We stopped at all these groups of teenagers, it was so embarrassing interrupting them and having to hand them out. I really hate talking to strangers. But mostly the guys our age were cool about it, though we did get a few viper stares from the girls. Not a lot, some were very cool and friendly.

Then we stopped at this one group who were hanging outside of Taco Bell and holy shit, Trevor was there! He was my first real boyfriend back in grade 9. God, he still looked so cute! He goes, "Man, I haven't seen you in so long" and "I want to call you so bad." And he was just non stop staring at me and smiling. And I was smiling because he was smiling and we just couldn't stop staring at each other cause we both couldn't believe it was happening. See, we live in the same neigbourhood, but he goes to a public school and I go to a Catholic school, and we don't hang with the same crowd at all.

So I go, "are you gonna go?"

He goes "where?"

I go "open the flyer." And point to the flyer he has in his hands.

He goes "oh cool yeah," without really even reading it and says " I want to call you so bad, you look so cute."

I go "go for it, do you still have my number?"

He goes "ya."

I said I'd talk to him later and off we drove. It was so cool cause I've been thinking about him a lot lately, I'm not sure why. Cool. This is cool. He's a rapper but he is sweet. Maybe I should have given him a second chance when he wanted one. Things are looking up though! I'm kind of excited!

Until Later
