Main event: Playing Twister
POV: Ellis
Time period: Senior year of high school.
One time, me and Keith were at a shindig that his brother Paul put together. Everyone was having a real good time and someone suggested that we all play Twister. I was completely game because there was some real cute girls there and I was hoping for an ice breaker to give me some guts to talk to them.
Well, that whole plan backfired bad. I was doin pretty good at the game, and we all had this friend. He was a big black guy named Ray Ray. Guy was built like a football player, real cool guy. Well, I got the worst "right foot red" of my life and ended up in the prison position with Ray Ray behind me (if you catch my drift). I was super embarrassed, and everyone was laughin. Instead of helping me out of this awkward situation in any way, that jerk Keith was over there recording it on Paul's camera.
The cute girls didn't talk to me either, aside from just laughing and tellin me how funny that was. But this cloud had a silver lining. I did end up going out with the girl that won Twister that evening. At first she thought I was a dork, but then we went out for almost a year.
Actually, that wasn't a silver lining story at all...that same girl dumped me when she went to college...community college. It wasn't even far away. I mean she still lived with her parents and everything. Ended up 'findin herself' and getting surgery to turn her into a man. Goes by the name Tom now.
Huh, my life's journey has been real weird.
