Re: Tales of a 7th Grade Dance
Epilogue!
Last Friday, while Angela and I (and Angela's friend Rachel...) were sitting around in my car during lunch, this girl ran up to the car and started telling Angela about how all the people who smoke pot at a local convienance store were all arrested (ha HA! ^_^).
Once the girl was done telling her story, she looked past Angela to me and said, "We used to date. We went to the Winter Formal together in 7th grade."
O_O
I didn't recognize her, obviously. Her hair was shorter and she was kind of gothic, and I hadn't seen her in four years. So pretty much, I had an otherwise strange girl come up to me and reveal herself as the cause of the single worst moment of my life (and the subsequent worst moments up to #49).
Once the newly revealed Sara was out of earshot, Angela looked at my started laughing. I had told her the whole story the previous Friday after the Follies, and she had no clue that she knew the person I was talking about.
While Angela was laughing, I relayed my feelings by remarking, "Oh dear God" and going into convulsive shivers.
Fortunately, the encounter didn't go beyond that, and there's no reason to believe that I shall be forced into contact with Sara again (and the heavens, etc. etc.).
*shrugs and walks away*
