old skool: I’m on the left; my sister Claresse is on the right; our cousin Daniel is the baby. Not trying to toot my own horn or anything, but holy crap, we were cute kids!
5th of April, 1997
We said goodbye to our friend and began our two-mile walk home. Jeez, it was so fucking hot outside. The sun beat down on the back of my neck as I was sure it did the same to Dan’s. That didn’t stop us from holding hands. Cos that’s what you were supposed to do with someone of whom you were “going out” with exclusively. There were times when our hands got way too sweaty, and we’d have to wipe our palms on our jeans. He’d laugh, and I’d giggle nervously as he put my hand back in his again.
