Young Love/Relationship/This Happened To Me
First Kiss From A Princess
Teenage Love Story
It’s the summer before 8th grade. I’m working on my basketball game to destroy the hearts and minds of every middle school baller in the county. I almost never thought about girls, well with the exception of Miss America’s Vanessa Williams naked body.
It’s the early 80s and while at The Gardner Webb Basketball Camp I saw her because some kid had a girlie magazine. She was the only girl I wanted a nut from. Ok, so I don’t know exactly what a nut is however, I overheard my older cousins speaking about when a girl likes you she will give you a nut.
But I digress.
I’m jogging back from the ball field, speed dribbling past Miss Mary’s house. Although she had a fence, a huge German Shepherd lived there. He was unpredictable.
Sometimes he would just watch you walk by, other times he would run up to the fence. Then he did something that would make me always run or dribble full speed past Miss Mary’s.
He jumped the fence going after a neighborhood kid. To his defense, the snotty-nosed brat was taunting him. He didn’t bite the knucklehead but I was taking no chances.
