July 16: When Worlds Collide

It was 1962 in Hillwood and we were still fighting about segregation. My father is part of the KKK and likes to give the black people on the other side of the track hell. I love going out with my friend Phoebe to our secret spot. This spot is where we met our boyfriends from across the track. Yes I said from across the track which means they are black. I know what you're thinking. how does two white girls come across two black boys. Well, its just like how we met now with our secret place. My father was going on about his proud Aryan race and I was fed up with that crap. Phoebe happened to be at the house with me when I stormed out. I just wanted to get away from my father. We went to an abandoned shack by the tracks to lay low and that's when I notice someone was coming our way from the other side. That's how we met Arnold and Gerald and where we still met them. It was like a getting ran over by a train when I saw Arnold coming over that hill. All four of us just looked thrown off of everything we knew. If this was love we were headed for hell in a handbasket. I spoke first being a little more outgoing than Phoebe.

"Ummm, hello, w what are y'all doing near here?"
"Uhhhh, we were just out walkin', we ain't doin' no 'arm."
"Oh, same here, W what's y'alls names?"
"I'm Arnold and this 'ere is Gerald and y'all are?"
"I'm Helga and this here is Phoebe. Ummm, y'all wanna just hang out, we won't tell if y'all don't."
"Ummm, sure I guess for a littl' while."

We have been talking and seeing each other here since that first time. We couldn't help how hard we feel and believe me we tried to. We just happen to be born during this time and fall in love with someone we shouldn't. This is how our worlds collided and I hope and pray that no one finds out about us or they, Arnold and Gerald, are dead.


This was inspired by another fanfic that I have been waiting to update for two years. It's called We are The Greatest Generation. Have yourself an adventure.
