Review Segment 2
Ironically though, when my relationship would end with Angela, so would the relationshp between my childhood friend (Ronny) and cafeteria girl (Bertina). Which only meant one thing, there was nothing hindering us from the inevitable.
It was clear as to what my next move would entail. I needed to ask her out. I will never forget how this took place. I approached her durng lunch recess. She was wearing fitted blue jeans and a white top. Her hair, curly and wrapped in a ponytail. I remember being bold and cutting straight to the point. "Bertina?" I questioned. "Yes", she replied. I took a deep breath and began to collect my words. I remember looking her in her eyes as she looked me in mine. "Do you want to go out?" I finally got the words out. Then I waited for her response. That was the longest 5 seocnds of my life. She licked her lips and proceeded to say, yes.
I felt souped. I felt as though I hit the lotto. Well, I was in the 8th grade and I thought she was gorgeous. What do you expect? There a was a lot of conversing and getting to know one another. We were known as a cute couple. We were the typical middle school couple. Playing chase, walking around holding hands, sneaking off to hide for quick kisses. That moment in time could've lasted for years if we had the choice.
Of course, until reality would set in. Even then, you don't know until you know.
