reminds me of sixth grade, when i asked a girl who i really liked out (nicki, i think. something with an "n") and she said no, and kinda laughed. and then, about a week later, she and her best friend took up a game that would last them the rest of the 5 months remaining in the school year. any time they saw me, they would start mock-swooning and saying "kasra, will you go out with me?" and breaking out into shrieking laughter. as if somehow it was comtemptibly hilarious that i would have the nerve to ask someone out. i got to the point where i could ignore it eventually, but it never really stopped being hurtful.
god bless children. |
