Bama Boy (2013)
“I asked. Spinning around on the kitchen bar stool, I shifted the telephone receiver from my right ear to my left and put my hand over my ear to block the sounds of the television blaring in the next room.
“I’m going to the movies with Brian,” my best friend’s voice came through the receiver. “Do you want to come along? Maybe Brian can find a friend for you, and we could double.”
“Sorry. I’ve got a date with Anthony.”
The din from the television drowned out Maggie’s reply, but I got the general ...idea. Maggie had never liked Anthony, and when he’d asked me to the junior prom last spring, her dislike had blossomed into contempt.
“Look, Mags, I know how you feel about Anthony, but try to see it my way. He’s the only boy at Elmore High School who recognizes the fact that I’m a girl. The rest of them seem to think I’m just a brain that walks on two legs.”
“And the only reason Anthony doesn’t is that he can’t imagine anyone being brainier than he is. Tracy, you’re a very attractive girl, and you could do a lot better for yourself.MoreLess
