November 18

Penny had caught Merri Sue as they walked back to their rooms after class.

“Hey, Merri do you want to go to the movie? True Grit’s showing. It’s the last night.”

“Gee I’d like to, but Tom and I went last night. We’re going into town for a burger at Arctic Circle. Do you want to come with us?”

And there it was… again. Penny couldn’t get time alone with Merri. Not since Tom came on the scene. What little time she got was always Merri, Tom and the 3rd wheel, Penny.

“That’s alright, Merri, we can get together some other time.”

That other time wouldn’t be for a week or two. And it would be a hurried cup of coffee at best, rushed because Merri and Tom had to go or do something. They always invited Penny along and she went at first, but they didn’t really need her. They were just being polite. Merri and Tom were in love and there wasn’t room for anybody else.

Tom was nice enough and Penny was happy for her friend. But she missed Merri. Having a good friend to talk with and share all the things going in their lives. Now that was gone.

Lunch with Merri used to be the favorite part of the day for Penny. Gossip, laughter, nothing serious; that would come later in the day, after classes. They would go over the day and plan for the next and beyond. Big plans, where they would go in their lives and what they could achieve.

Now at lunch, Penny was included just so Tom and Merri wouldn’t seem like a romantic couple. As if everybody didn’t already know. Penny thought she had made a mistake not rooming with Merri. It seemed like a good idea. Better for the friendship. But now it was Sammi that Merri would confide in after lights out.

Penny wasn’t jealous of Tom or of his relationship with Merri. Although she couldn’t come up with a better name for her feelings. She was happy Merri had found a nice guy. But Penny hadn’t found her own nice guy.

Penny was back at square one. Always the ‘wallflower’ trying to fit in, to be a part of a group, to have a boyfriend.

And failing at it all.

And hating it.
