- blonde girl in a yellow dress
- auburn-haired, part blackfoot indian, played baseball
- he didn't show up for the yearbook class picture, so it's almost as if he were an imagined figment
- two friends who just banged their heads to green day for the class talent show
- a curly mohawk, & white ink scrawled on skater shoes
- she was a year older than i & she chose me to walk with her to a classroom where her crush sat. "he's so cute." i puzzled over why she admitted this to me without really knowing me; perhaps she thought i was a quiet enough vessel to keep her secret safe, which was true because i forgot his name & couldn't distinguish what boy she spoke of. she wore thick black eyeliner & long eyelashes coated in black mascara that crumbled a little onto her skin. they were so long that later i thought perhaps she wore falsies.
- renaissance curls with the clavicles
- freckled mixed up kid hanging with the wrong crowd
- another green day fan, this time with floppy spikes of brown hair & a blonde girlfriend with whom he held hands all the time
- goofy kid who asked a girl if she "ever made love to an orange". he was at a loss as to how to explain to her why he had a clipping of pamela anderson in his wallet. a year before that he saw me looking depressed about my first ever C on a report card & tried to cheer me up by saying that his grade was much worse. i glimpsed him at a remedial learning center in the final year of high school.
- gosh i don't remember her face but the fact that she had blonde hair & usually wore a pink something (ribbon, skirt?), was a fan of lagwagon, & pretended to be britney spears for an oral report
- a fan of the cure (i glimpsed her essay on robert smith) who turned twee indie hipster with a long-haired twig of a heavy-metal boyfriend. jealous of that boyfriend, jealous of her girl-friend in the green venus-guytrap tee, i tried to find her on livejournal, but too late: most of it was friends-locked, her artsy photos turned into broken image files. but i did see her act a bit in a shakespeare scene set up in the school's mini-amphitheater. i still have the published page of bad goth poetry she wrote with another friend.
- he wore a smashing pumpkins ᴢᴇʀᴏ shirt of which our english teacher joked, "cool shirt, is that how many friends you have?"
- "wanna kiss?" *hands me a hershey's chocolate drop as he walks past me*
