THE FIRST HIGH SCHOOL GIRLFRIEND I ever had looked like TLC. When people ask which one, I say, “All of ’em.”
I was fifteen when I met her. I’m on the bus coming back from Adams High cuz they didn’t offer Black History at my school and I’m taking Black History because of course I would take Black History. I see her sitting up near the driver looking out the window, looking good, caramel complected with perky breasts. It takes a couple days to get the nerve up to speak, but I do. Her name’s Kit. I get her number, I call her that night.
We talk for hours about nothing, about everything. She likes cartoons. She likes birds. She’s always like, “Look at the birds, Jude, look at the birds.”
I crack jokes, and sometimes she gets ’em. When I get off the phone, I’m like, “All right, I’ma hit the road.”
She says, “Don’t hit the road, Jude, don’t hit the road.”
I’m smiling; she likes me; I never had no girl like me before. “Oh, you don’t wanna get off the phone, do you? You like talking to me, huh?”
“Don’t hit the road, Jude; you’ll hurt your hand if you hit the road. Why you wanna hit the road, Jude?” I’m like wow, this chick’s an idiot. Or maybe she’s a genius. I was just watching on the Maury Povich show how they got these chicks that act stupid but are really smart just so they can get over on the doctors they date.
I’ma keep an eye on this one, make sure she doesn’t ask me for money or anything. She never does.
So we’re going steady. I never see her at school, only the bus ride back. We sit together, I rub on her leg with a little hard-on in my pants; the bus driver’s always giving me dirty looks. Fuck her; what’s she know about teenage love.
I finally got a girl. I’m not the fat funny sidekick anymore. I’m not Chris Farley, cracking jokes for everybody then drinking by myself when they couple off.
Sometimes my old man’d even drop me off at her house, and I’d suck her titties in the kitchen while her mom and stepdad watched Wheel of Fortune in the living room.
This goes on for a couple months, when her stepdad pulls me aside. He’s like, “You know we moved out here from Detroit because the boys were teasing Kit so bad. She’d come home crying every day.”
I’m shaking my head. “Naw, she never told me that. Kids can be cruel sometimes.”
He goes on: “It got to the point where I had to wait at her bus stop just to make sure them boys left her alone.”
I sigh. “It’s always the pretty ones that get picked on.”
He’s looking at me like I’m stupid. “Jude, you never noticed anything different about Kit?”
“Naw, just that I like her a lot.”
He says real slow and low, “You know, Kit’s mentally challenged.”
“What!? Naw!” I’m laughing. “Come on.”
“I’m serious; she’s got the mental capacity of a third grader.
