Your “what you show does not actually have to be real, it
just needs to look like it’s real” smile IS JUST SUN BATHING ON A BIG BLANKET
AND TAKING IN THE PERFECT, PARTLY CLOUDY BEACH SUNSHINE WHILE WATCHING THE HSR SURF
AND ZIG AND ZAG THROUGH THE BREAKING WAVES LIKE A PRO, UNTIL HE HITS A
SUBMERGED ROCK, AND FALLS OFF, but don’t worry, because three beautiful life
guard ladies rush him ashore, stretch him out, and give him mouth to mouth,
even though he’s obviously breathing and not hurt.
Quick Background: it
seems that Rona can’t get any respect from the girls at school ever since she
got her braces off. Her large space between her upper front teeth made her
stand out and look more unique when compared to all of the other girls, and now
the guys notice and stare at her, even when the guys are walking with their
girlfriends! It seems like she has to watch her back every moment!
While walking to the library, Meg confides in Sampson, her
gay friend, that she’s tired of Rona getting all of the new attention from a
lot of the guys at the high school, even from her man Curtis, who is the
captain of the division champion football team.
“Well, why don’t you just have a talk with Rona, and let her
know how you feel. All of this stuff doesn’t have to go the two-fisted route,”
consults Sampson.
Meg blurts out, “Sampson, you’re so right! She should
understand that women like to feel secure about their man. Oh, but she doesn’t
have a boyfriend at this school…yet! And I’ve put a lot of time and effort into
my relationship with Curtis!”
Sampson gives Meg a side-eye wink, “I know what you mean by
time and effort! You’re too sassy!”
Meg walks through the automatically opening front doors into
the library, followed by Sampson and a couple of other people.
“See you later, Sampson,” says Meg.
Sampson offers, “Later Sugar Puss! Be strong!”
As they are about to go their separate ways, they both see Rona
standing between two bookshelves turning the pages of a magazine.
Meg, who works in the library, then walks behind the front checkout
desk and sets her backpack down. Sampson ventures off into the men’s room.
After a few quiet moments pass in the quiet study hall…
…Rona starts screaming
loudly, because she notices that the tall bookshelves start to lean over and
begin to fall her way…
Randy, a calculus geek with a skinny build, who just happens
to be standing just down the bookshelf aisle near Rona, jumps into action by
tackling and pushing the taller Rona safely out of the way.
The two large shelves make loud booms as they hit the wall
and then the floor, with the many books chaotically falling and sliding everywhere.
Both Randy and Rona lift themselves up off of the floor
unscathed, dust themselves off, and look at each other.
“Gosh! You just saved my life! And I don’t even know your
name,” says Rona.
“Randy…my name’s Randy. Are you okay,” Randy volleys back,
and points out, “ your blouse is torn in the front!”
“That’s okay, thanks a lot, Randy. I’m alive and just fine.
I can always change it!” says Rona.
Meg drops what she is doing at the desk and runs over to see
what the commotion is all about.
After looking around a little, Meg gets a confession from
Debbie and Jack, members of the girls and boys basketball teams, respectively.
They were just making out between the shelves and the lost their balance,
causing the bookcases to tip over.
“Well, thankfully no one was hurt. I’ll call maintenance to
get this taken care of,”
a relieved Meg says.
Later, Meg appraises the head librarian, “No one was hurt so
there is no legal liability to worry about. I can help with the other guys to
properly place the books after class.”
The head librarian says, “Thanks, Megan. I don’t know what I
would do without you!”
Rona and Randy walk down the hall after all of that library
mess.
“I don’t know how I could ever repay you for saving my life,
Randy,” says Rona.
Randy gets a bright idea and says, “ I know how…my robotics
class is right here. Let’s just stand in the door way and just give me a quick
hug…I’ll be the talk of the class! Getting hugged by the prettiest girl in
school! That’s good enough to put on my resume!”
“Sure, I’d love to! After all, you did save my life,” elates
Rona, as she bear hugs him tight and gives him a loud lip smack on the cheek.
“My hero!”
Randy fixes his glasses and shirt back up and calmly walks
into the robotics room. All of the kids there drop their jaws in amazement that
skinny old Randy, the weakest guy on the wrestling team, is super close with
the school’s hottest girl!
Randy walks slowly toward his seat making sure that he shows
the class the side of his cheek where Rona’s lipstick print can be clearly seen!
“I’m never going to wipe this off,” Randy silently promises
himself!
Some of the girls in Randy’s class look at him immediately
in a different light, and a couple of them look him up and down like they might
be planning to see what his attractive “secret” just might be. Meet the new
Randy!
After the last classes are over, the students gather in the
gym so that the football team and the cheerleaders can have their championship
flags hoisted above the rafters and hang from the ceiling for school pride.
Rona is one of the first people there. She sees Meg in the
middle of the gym directing people where they should stand.
One of the people above placing a big flag loses his
grip!...
…and the heavy flag is right above Meg…
… so Rona shouts, “…
TO BE CONTINUED...
May you have many…the billions of years that have passed,
and the billions of years that have yet to come, is infinitely more than our
short lifetimes can even start to fathom...Thank You for helping me lift my
body out of bed this morning…can you explain to me why the water feels so cool
again when I jump back into the swimming pool?…smiles!
