BETHANY
(takes a very risky, yet brave, chance)
The way I see it, everyone has a type, and if you like thick Black girls of
slightly above-average height with very clear, medium brown skin,
dimples, and boobs just big enough to consider a reduction in the future,
then I’m the girl for you. My type? Oliver Gutierrez, hands down. Problem
is, I haven’t figured out if I’m the kind of person he’d go for. He’s had a
few girlfriends in his sixteen years and there’s been no pattern among them
that I’ve been able to surmise. But today I am determined to find out if I fit
into that randomness. Today, I’m gonna ask Oliver Gutierrez to
homecoming.
“You want me to come with?” my best friend Tatum asks as we step out
of Ms. Robinson’s fourth period English class. We both have lunch next,
with our other besties Glory and Saylor, and Tatum’s girlfriend, Emily. I
need to stop by my locker to grab my lunch. Oliver’s locker is next to mine.
He has fifth period lunch too. This is my moment to catch him and pop the
big question. I’ll push all my anxiety to the side. That weird, fast-talking
mumbly thing I do when I get nervous will absolutely not happen. I’ll flash
Oliver a sweet, confident smile and ask him if he wants to join me on one of
the biggest nights of the year.
It just sucks I have to do the asking in a crowded hallway and not on a
quiet, starlit night on Venice Beach like I’d envisioned a million times.
“No. I have to do this on my own,” I say as we stop at Tatum’s locker. I
wait as they swap out their books and grab their lunch. Then Tatum turns to
face me. They put their hands on my shoulders and I hone in on the blueand-silver glitter artfully streaked all over their beautiful honey-brown face.
There’s a football game tonight. Tatum has some very intense cheerleading
to do.
“Bethany Greene, you are an irresistible goddess.”
“She’s right!” some random freshman agrees as she pushes by us.
“Thanks?” I say to the random freshman’s back before I refocus on
Tatum’s glitter.
“You walk right up to that boy and you let him know that taking you to
homecoming will be the best decision of his life. You can do this.”
“I can do this.”
“You’re beautiful and I love you. Go get ’em, champ,” Tatum says.
Nothing uplifts you like a cheerleader telling you you’re beautiful. I can do
this. I’m gonna do this. Right now. I let out a deep breath and march down
the hall. I turn the corner into the west wing and spot Oliver, head and
shoulders over our classmates. He’s wearing his royal-blue home jersey,
with the number 87 ironed onto the shoulders. He looks good.
