Falling Angels
“A couple of nights ago a boy told her he loved her and pleaded with her to go steady.
“Well, okay,” she said at last, seeing as he loved her.
They were sitting in his car in her driveway. They kissed, and she floated a long way away from all of him except for his mouth. She forgot who he was—she thought he was the boy she went out with the week before—and when she opened her eyes, his face gave her a start.
“What’s the matter?” he asked.
She said,“I’ve changed my mind,” thinking she’d better.
“...Why?”
But she wouldn’t tell him, she wouldn’t be that mean. He slammed his hand on the steering wheel and called her a tease. He said she had come between him and his best friend, did she know that? She shook her head. She didn’t even know who his best friend was. At this point the kitchen light came on, and she jumped out of the car, afraid that their father had been spying from the window.
Their father hates her going out on dates. But when she was thirteen and getting asked out, he said: “When you’re sixteen.”MoreLess
