A Day With Charlotte
Teenage Love Story
I spent the night after our loss unable and unwilling to sleep. Each time I dozed terrorizing moments from the game would invade my dreams like an endless loop of a horror movie.

Win or lose Charlotte and I had plans to spend the day and night together at her parent’s lake house on Lake Lure while they were away.
We meet up at a spot right off Ledbetter Road which my homies dubbed The Old Stomping Grounds. It’s a secluded spot in the woods where you could pull a car or two and park our hood’s version of Lover’s Lane.
Charlotte arrives at noon. I’m already there waiting. The weather is not a typical Small Town Friendly Saturday afternoon because there’s a light drizzle. It hardly ever rains here.
I guess even Mother Nature shed a few tears because of my high school team’s loss and elimination. It’s a couple of weeks before Spring Break. My Love exits her sports car. Charlotte is a breath…
