All right, hello.
All right, so it was the first day of sixth grade, which was the last year of elementary school, and the quasi-romantic but completely non-sexual tension was running high.
Years of simmering feelings, requited and or unrequited crushes, and general pre-teen angst had come to a boil in this, our last year altogether before being scattered to the winds of junior high.
Everybody knew who they liked, everybody knew who they like-liked,
And the social order was basically pretty much determined.
And there was this crazy sense of urgency in the air, you know, like a manic, it's now or never kind of feeling, you know, like Europe before the war.
into this powder keg of proto-hormones, walked what can only be described in today's terms as a game changer.
Her name was Renika Powers, and she sauntered into our classroom as if she'd sprung from the pages of a J.Crew catalog.
She had very long, curly blonde hair, bright blue eyes, faint dusting of freckles, and this kind of perfect smile framed by these absolutely symmetrical dimples.
She was, empirically speaking, the cutest girl of all time.
And in addition, you know, she had some personality.
You know, she had panache, you know, style.
And as soon as she walked into our classroom, you could practically hear the sound of our collective innocence shattering.
Every guy immediately fell into some kind of love with her, and fierce competition ensued to see who could get her attention.
Now, personally, I felt like I kind of had the inside lane on this.
I was the class comedian.
I don't say clown because I feel like it demeans my work.
And people really seemed...
I knew where I stood.
I felt like I was respected among my peers.
