I was never a shy girl. I used to be the most confident in my school. I had nothing to be afraid of. Until that very day i fell in love.
It was only summer, when I was packing for my s tudies at Julliard, University for performing arts. I couldn't be more happier. we had to leave good old Wisconsin, good old Quentin Lake High School. I wasn't much of a popular girl, I was more of an outsider, although it never stopped me from creating the bright lights of my future, a performer.
New york, I could simply hear it calling me from what seemed like not so far away now. I thought about what i was leaving behind. I didn't have any friends, since most of them thought i was a bigmouth, or a snitch, or a self-centered bitch, or too lost in my own ambition. I never had a high-school sweetheart, somebody who'd bring me roses on Valentine's Day or my birthday. So far the closest thing I've got to roses is my Dad bringing roses for my MOM and leaving it on my nightstand while carrying Mom up to bed and grabbing a condom from the utility drawer. And they're open about this stuff.
We reached the airport and I hugged my mom goodbye. 'Now you be good Lisa... Shine brighter than any other! Make me proud!' my mom said tearfully. 'I will mom, you know I will!' I gave her one last hug and skipped towards the airport with my dad following behind.
I was on the plane. Alone. It was my first time alone on a plane. 'Do you have lemonade?' I asked the stewardess. 'Sure Ma'am, Strawberry or Lemon?' What in hell was she talking about? Strawberry? It's called LEMON- ade! 'I'm sorry, Strawberry? I don't belive there is such!' I heard a few boys smirking and giggling behind me. I don't know what feeling this was since it was new to me. I felt IRRITATED and not able to let it go like I usually do. I turned back and said, 'Am I talking to you bitch?!' He replied no. 'So stay out of this fucking conversation! Or else I'll kick your ass so hard in that you'll forget you had one, Jackass!' I never even imagined myself using those words. I was a totally different person! 'So the lemon-lemonade Ma'am?' she asked me in a somewhat impatient way. 'No, the Strawberry' I said giving a slight smirk.
The flight seemed to take forever. The food for some reason tasted like crap. As usual, whenever I have some alone time, I think about the reasons why I find myself a total loser. About every girl in my school lost their virginity by senior year, but look at me. Innocent old virgin. Ha. As I was imagining things in my own little world, I hadn't noticed that someone had sat next to me.
'WHEN CAN THEY GET ME MY DARN CHICKEN WINGS!!!!!" He yelled. He was a fat man, a Texan probably. "Um, excuse me? Uh, this is my seat.. Do you mind???'
' oh you one of them fancy panties, aren' ya?!'
'Uh, I really should-'
'Oh don't you run away!!!'
'I have no intention of run-'
'Look lady I'd like to know that this country gives us old country men decent people to socialize with and I don't think your being very decent!!!'
'I have absolutely no intention of getting into your business with your chicken wings or anything that concerns your dietary system, okay? You know what, sit here! It's fine...'
'I thought you'd chicken out somehow... Them city girls can talk the talk but they can't walk the walk!!!!!! HahahahahahHahahaahhaha!!!!!'
Man what has happened to the culture of today's world.
-------------------
So..... I'm excited about this book... I know it's been about a century since I updated it, but trust me I will. A lot of changes will go through Lisa's life: new experiences, new people.. Lots of things,
I was inspired by @chocolateninja13 ( who you guys may know as YMF) to continue writing...
So, happy reading and please vote comment and share!!!!
