I was in 7th grade
Weighed 110 lbs
I was eating lunch
Minding my own
When a boy called me
A fat cow and mooed
Enter another boy
Out of nowhere
I didn’t know
Had never seen
Who stood up for me
Curly blonde hair
Tall and adorable
He sat next to me
Said I wasn’t a cow
And he asked me on a date
My first date. Roller skating.
My mom dropped me off
We rented our skates
My stomach was knotted
My knees were weak
He liked me
And I didn’t feel
Like a fat cow
Then the lights went out
The disco ball twinkled
And a slow song came on
We were going to hold hands
Until this blonde girl
A Marsha Brady look alike
Asked him to dance
And he did
He did dance with her
He did leave me standing
Alone. Heart in hand.
To dance with her
Marsha! Marsha! Marsha!
And I called my mom
And went home
A fat cow

I wasn’t dating in 7th Grade. I read this and feel some gratitude for that, for not hurting or being hurt as in this story.

The only thing meaner than most teenage girls is most teenage boys. It’s a wonder that humans as a species have survived.

This is heartfelt. Exactly that. Such strong writing. Nothing better than writing that can make us feel something. The world is a mean place at times. Hopefully more happiness and sweetness shines through.

It’s just an odd moment I remembered. So many of those we just let fly away in the wind.

Maybe it’s just me but fat isn’t unattractive. Guys are just to consciencous about their buddies.
