The party room was loud; everyone was enjoying themselves until he walked in. It was an all white affair, he didn’t understand why everything stopped, he was in his all white suit with his whit top hat and white dress shoes, was he too overdressed.
The girls walked into the train being loud and talking about things that were quite inappropriate for their age. An older woman looked at the tallest girl there and murmured “she probably influenced them all.”
He volunteered at hospitals when he had free time. He took all AP science and math classes to ensure the highest score on the MCAT.
She had bottles and bottles on hair dye in her bathroom cupboard, she grabbed one to touch up the grey hairs that she saw. She went to bed with an ache and reached over for the bengay near the dresser.
She walked into the church singing the song that she used to sing when she was in the choir back home. She started to cry when the lyric “here I am God, help me see the wrong in my ways” came on.
Her clothes were tattered up, holes in her socks, shoes and shirts. She laid there in the park holding the cup in her hand shaking it.
She stepped inside the store looking around the juniors section and quickly became irritated because she couldn’t find anything. She walked over to the women’s section surprised to find a pair of jeans that actually fit her.
He felt so betrayed as he lifted the box of condoms from under the bed. He thought long and hard about why she needed condoms if they were trying to have a baby.
She put on her puppy dog face as she walked into her father’s office. If she was going to get the new Mercedes that she wanted then she had to make the face of the sweet innocent girl who didn’t care about her daddy having money.
They had put him in cuffs and drove him downtown to the police station. He had been there so many times he already knew the routine and spread his legs apart to be frisked.
