Pants

Sherry teased me when we were younger, but in high school when we met each other again at summer school (for extra credit, not remedial), she was so shy. Looking at her outfit, I wondered if she was one of those debate team or international business keeners, and if she was hot in the season's weather. Well, she was hot, but…

We chatted for a bit, and stood by each other in silence for much longer. Maybe if I reached for her, with casual words or a friendly touch, I would have more to say. Alas.
