Excerpt from a Life

Join me every Saturday as I read from my old journals. I currently am remembering a lengthy teenage crush I had on a fellow student who I nicknamed Chevy. In today's account, I am talking to a new friend, Debbie, who had been in grade 9 with my secret love.

November 5, 1974
"In the afternoon, in the school library, Laurie and I asked Debbie if she knew of anybody by the nickname of Chevy. She said no. She sat thinking for awhile and then said Chevowsky. I walked out of the library in embarrassment. I didn't think she'd guess right.
I went back to the library and Laurie said that Debbie had said, "That creep!"
I kept on bugging Debbie not to tell anybody. She said she wouldn't. I asked her if Chevy was nice. She said,"I guess so" but she couldn't remember what he exactly looked like..."

Libraries seem to be very popular places for teenage girls to talk about crushes. It used to be where I talked with my friends about my crushes too!

Oh, those days. Great thing you have your journals, I don't anymore. In fact I got rid of them my senior year, I was afraid my brother (2 years younger) would find them. He did once and caught him reading, I was angry, embarrassed, it was a very bad day!
