I got my chance to meet Jesse in the last possible way I had ever thought would happen to me. Suzanne Albright, of the cooler-than-cool crowd, actually approached me one day at lunch. I know that doesnât look all that mind blowing down here in black and white, but trust me, it was. Every school has a Suzanne Albright. Sheâs the one girl that everyone wants to be noticed by, male or female. Sheâs the one with the perfect hair, perfect face, perfect wardrobe hanging on a perfect thin and beautiful body, perfect boyfriend always older and athletic, perfect family with lots of money. Sheâs totally sure of herself and confident that everyone else thinks she is as perfect as she believes herself to be. Sheâs kind of a composite of the whole group of girls from camp. Iâm not sure if anyone actually likes her but everyone wants to be liked by her. Looking back, Iâm not sure if the one girl ever actually has a personality or any actual character at all, but back in grade ten, I didnât care any more than anyone else did.
Anyway, I honestly canât remember precisely what she said, but I seem to remember something about my outfit looking nice on me. It was everything I could do not to actually swoon at her feet. Suzanne Albright of the wardrobe of many colors actually liked something I had on. I canât remember now exactly what I had on, but it was likely something new and form fitting.
I still wasnât thrilled with the form that it was fitting, but it was
