MEMORY LANE

Gelya yawned as she shuffled out of her bedroom. She turned on the coffee maker, then powered up the computer to check her email. She sifted through her messages and waited for the coffee to brew. She noticed the crumpled invitation next to the computer. She sighed heavily as she looked at it again.

“I don’t want to go,” she muttered as it dangled from her hand above the trash bucket. She grimaced as she tossed it onto her desk. “I should just throw it out.” She grunted as it seemed to be taunting her.

After responding to her email, she got up to check on the coffee. Her gaze again drifted to the invitation. She knew she hadn’t thrown it out because Brenna wanted to go.

“Of course she wants to go,” Gelya grumbled as she poured herself a cup of coffee, filling it with an excessive amount of sugar and cream. “She was the most popular girl in school. Everyone loved her, including me.” Gelya chuckled as she wondered how the class of ‘87 would react if they knew their precious homecoming queen lost her virginity to the quiet girl who was there only because she was smart enough to get a scholarship.

Gelya pondered the thought as she went into the bathroom and prepared to take her shower. Once she was engulfed in the gentle hot mist, she wondered if she should go to the alumni dinner just to show up her snooty classmates. Gelya wasn’t by nature a petty person. It was just that Covington was a small town inhabited by either very rich or very poor people. There was no middle class, per se. The two distinctively different economies were divided by the railroad tracks.

Gelya and her family lived on one side, and Brenna and her classmates lived on the other. Gelya was bright and hard working. It paid off when she got a scholarship to St. Mark’s, the parochial school on the outskirts of town. Gelya was poor, studious, and Protestant. It didn’t matter; the public school was a war zone, and St. Mark’s was her ticket to college. She didn’t care that her classmates shunned her solely based on her economic standing. She was there to get a good education. What she hadn’t counted on was the one person who was nice to her. Brenna McKenzie was the only one who would even bother to say hello to her in the hallways.

“I did like the way she looked in that cute little skirt.” Gelya sighed happily as she stepped out of the shower. She blushed as she wrapped her body in her navy blue terrycloth robe and made her way back to the kitchen for a refill.

She’d loved running her hands under Brenna’s pleated skirt. It still filled her with desire thinking about the stolen moments they’d shared. She poured a second cup of coffee after preparing her own. The cup was black, no sugar, and strong enough to stand a spoon in.

“Disgusting.” Gelya crinkled
