From the Notebooks of Melanin Sun
“Maybe Mama had realized she’d done all she could to land a good job and now it was out of her hands. She seemed to be home a bit more, which gave us more time to talk about stuff. But there was something strange about us together these days. Something missing. . . . I had a million questions I needed to ask her about Angie. But every time I looked at Mama, it felt like I was looking at her through layers and layers of something. It seemed more and more we were talking around stuff rather than g...etting to the heart of things.
Something needed to happen, though. Here I was, going on fourteen, never had a girlfriend. But I had a cute girl’s number in the pocket of my jeans and I was afraid to call her. Every time I changed pants, I transferred the number, and because I was always touching it, the numbers had begun to fade a bit and the paper was starting to fray around the edges.
This morning, Ralph had suggested I call her up and ask her if she wanted to come over and check out my endangered species stamp collection.MoreLess
