A new Girl in Town.....
There is a new girl in town..... Oh... I was the new girl more times than I care to remember....After I arrived to my 3rd High school... this time in Wilmington,
Dela-where? I remember eating my lunch in the bathroom for the first two weeks until my mother threatened to call the Principal...if I didn't go into the cafeteria....
Anyone who has had to move, especially in High School or Jr. High knows that going into the cafeteria is the WORST part of starting a new school... Where are you going to sit?
When I finally braved St. Marks lunch room... I quietly took my tray & sat at the end of a long table... with a bunch of girls I didn't think would mind. The details of almost 20 years has blurred in time... but I know that this was where I had my first contact with Kelly.
She came over to the table to asked me to sign her Student Council petition...& invited me to eat lunch at her table, thus... saving me from being branded a "dork" for the rest of my years at St. Marks... (come on, I know it sounds mean...but we were in HIGH SCHOOL)
That was the first of many times Kelly would come to my "rescue". Oh the stories I can tell from my years spent in Delaware.... Although I say we were bad... we weren't really... we both had a desire to see what lay out in the greater tri-state area... Philly, New Jersey, New York....(oh the places our crappy cars took us.) & we both liked boys in uniform.
We spent our summers together working as lifeguards, going to the shore & cruising South Street . She helped me hear the difference between words like Bin & Ben... (I still had my Southern drawl at that point) & she made Delaware bearable...even fun for me.
Twenty Two years (yikes) have passed now.... & although we we haven't always been the best at keeping in touch... especially after we married & had our kids.... she is STILL always there for me when I need her the most.... BFF....
Well BFF has finally jummped out there & started her own BLOG... Yea! So now Kelly is the "New Girl in Town" I hope you will pop over to... Song for Whoever & give her some comment loving... so I can look after her, like she was me over all of these years-----
