I glared back at her for a few seconds. I didn’t quite know how to respond to the question she was asking me, then a reply quickly came to me as fast as a bolt of lightning.
“Why are you so short?” I said.
“Oh my God I’m not.” Christy said as she stomped her foot with a smile spread across her face.
Christy was fairly short, she could not be an inch over 4”10. I stood at approximately 6’0, as I stared down at her it felt like I was looking at a small child.
I kneeled down and held Christy’s hand in mine as if I was comforting her and looked at Christy in the eye with an expressionless face, then I said.
“Look, I know a bunch of kids in the school tease you because of your small height, but I want you to know that your height is amazing, and you are awesome champ.” I gave her a pretend punch on the jaw then I let go of her hand with a smile.
Christy stared at me for a few seconds. I didn’t quite know how she was going to respond to my seriocomic statement.
She continued to stare. Then she slowly gasped at me and put her hands over her mouth as she began to broadly smile. “Oh my God!” She exclaimed. At this point she began to laugh really hard, I thought she was going to fall over.
“HAHAHA!” Christy bellowed. She was almost in tears.
I only gave a warm smile in return as she was laughing. I felt very impressed with myself, I was definitely entertaining her.
“You cannot be for real.” Christy yelped in between her laughter.
“Alas I am.” I opened up my arms wide as if I was showing her I am just a regular human being and nothing more.
Her laugh quickly grew to a clamor uproar.
While Christy was in the middle of her laughter I began to take notice of her laugh, it was very warm and cheerful, I could tell she loved to laugh, and I loved making her laugh.
“You ugly while laughing though.” I said to Christy as I slowly shook my head.
“Shut up boy no I’m not.” Christy responded back while still giggling a tad bit. I realized that me and her was standing in the middle of the cafeteria where everybody could see us, and immediately I became unnerving. I wasn’t scared of facing big crowds, not in the least bit, but it’s just I don’t like when a lot of people are staring at me without me being aware.
“Come on we gon get some food? We been standing here for like 3 hours.” I said to Christy, though only a few minutes went by.
“Bye boy it’s only been like two minutes, cool your horses bruh.” Said Christy in reply to my statement.
Though I couldn’t see it, but I could tell a few people were staring at me. I didn’t really care, since that had been my goal all along, for them to see me walking with one of the hottest girls in the school. I just didn’t know what they were thinking, and that greatly bothered me.
“Come on we out.” I abruptly said to Christy then began walking in front of her, this time much quicker than I had been previously. Christy followed behind me.
As we approached the snack line on the other side of the cafeteria I could see that the line wasn’t really long, there was only about three people standing in the line waiting to purchase their food. “Ard, what you want?” I asked Christy in a commanding tone as if I was speaking to a small child in a candy store. I only had about $7 in my pocket, though Christy didn’t know that, I didn’t want her to think I was on a budget.
“Don’t rush me boy!” Christy said to me as she held her hand up to my face as a gesture for me to stop talking. She began looking at the chips and treats. She bent over and placed her hands on her knees as she began analyzing the Skittles. Again, I began starring at her back side, though I didn’t want to, but I could not control myself. I was completely flabbergasted and mesmerized by its density and roundness. My jaw inadvertently dropped.
Christy quickly turned her neck and stared at me, she could see that I was staring at her backside. “Stop being a pervert Jason!” She exclaimed to me, quickly snapping me out of the daze I was in from staring at her back side.
