Sat., April 23, ’77
You’re not going to believe today! Fantastic! But first, let me write about last night. Lorena and I went to Don Carters (bowling and pool.)
Pete and Bob were there. At first, Pete ignored me and I started feeling really bad. I went with Bob to get a drink (soda, y’all, I’m only 16 here) and Pete looks over at me.
“Makin’ ya mad?”
I laughed. “No.”
So, we talked for awhile, then Bob came over to join us and Kevin showed up. Pete told Kevin to finish his pool game, the leaves! Just great.
But today, Saturday. . . I went into work early with Lorena since she started at 9:00 and me at 10:00.
Waiting in the break room with my head on the table (spent the night with Lorena, I’m tired) I felt someone watching me. I look up. Pete’s standing on the stairs. Smiling.
“Your hair looks nice.”
“Thanks.
“You looked great last night, too.”
Me, beaming.
“Are you going to Kendall Lanes tonight?
Me, shurgging: “I don’t know, are you?’
“Well, if I cam by, I won’t go there.”
“What? Come by where?” I asked.
“Come by your house.”
I couldn’t believe it!
“Maybe we’ll go to a movie or something.”
“O-o-okay.” I’m stunned, but not about to say or do anything to scare him off. By now, it’s time for me to punch in, so I go downstairs, clock in and get out to a register.
At lunch, Pete asks, “Do you need a ride home?”
“Sure.”
“Get off at 7:00?” Hint: he knows my schedule.
“Yeah.” I tip my head to one side. “Are you sure you want to take me home?”
“Yeah, and I’ll pick you up later. We’ll go to a movie or something.”
Well, scrap me from the ceiling, cause I’m flying high.
I have a bonifide date with Pete!!!
