As an unpopular schoolgirl, I was summoned one day at recess to a table where all the popular girls were gathered. I was invited to sit, while they just stared at me and waited for me to say something. Even as a young girl, I knew no good could come of this. These girls were not my friends. So I just sat in silence and stared back at them. Eventually, as I gave them nothing to laugh at, they got bored with me and sent me away. I won. My natural, inborn cynicism and skepticism had served me well.
I later learned that the game was that whatever I said at the table was what I would say after my first romantic encounter. Oh, how sorry I feel for teenagers-especially the unpopular, uncool kids who are too smart for the popular and cool kids' stupid games!

1. Unkind girls!
2. You were, even then, exactly the kind of friend I would have wanted to be around, so I'm excited that I get that privilege now!
3. I wasn't one to back down either, so I truly love this story.
4. This must be when your staring-game skills began!
Oy! "Jeremy" is actually me, Laina. Though I'm 100% positive that you know that, and that's good because I have no idea how to sign him out and sign me in. Don't judge me. LOL!
Any public-schooled girl who can't relate to this was probably on the end that gave it out, not that received it. You definitely have plenty of company.
Pshhh!! PUBLIC SCHOOL??? This was at a private school.
And, yes, Laina, I was 100% positive Jeremy was just an alias for you, and yes #2, those staring skills started early!
It's funny to see on Facebook how the high school crowd has changed...or not.
I wasn't smart enough to keep my mouth shut. =(
