Ficlets

Skirts and Legs

I pull into the student parking lot around 9:15. Ok. Now to find the perfect parking spot. Not too far from the door, but not too close. I play musical parking space for a couple a mintues before deciding on a spot. Perfect.

A few minutes later Jamilla pulls into the spot next to mine. Followed by Mani and Ash. We all get out and hug like we hadn’ t just seen each other yesterday and start walking to the building.

“Vick,” Jamilla said, “look at your skinny little legs. They look like stilts!.” Ash and Mani chuckled. You just had to do it didnt you! It’s true. They were skinny. I was 5’8” and weighed only about 123lbs. Compared to my friends and most girls at my school, I was a stick but there was nothing I could do about it.

I played it off with a quick chuckle and said, “Well, the dudes don’t mind.” Liar! Well Half truth! They didnt mind because they didnt pay me any mind at all. Guys rarely ever noticed me.

As we reached the doors, our path was cut off by none other than The Plastics!
