- الانزلاق: 1
- I started at this elementery school in Grade 5 when I had just moved to Canada from St Vincent.
- الانزلاق: 2
- Watch this girls
- Nellie right? come here!
- The first time I met Dee was at recess when she called me over at her table after pulling my jacket.
- الانزلاق: 3
- I bet you don't even know how to read! Come on, what's this word right here?
- Ehh Am-brella
- UMBRELLA
- HAHAHAHAHAH
- I should have resisted, I know, but I had something to prove.
- الانزلاق: 4
- Nellie Nellie, say "europeans" again
- Europe-ens
- EUROPE-ENS HAHAHAH
- I looked forward to these games with Dee, where they would mimic how I say certain words. I was the new girl, everyone else ignored me.
- الانزلاق: 5
- In elementary, Dee was famous for her sleepovers. She had one on the first Saturday of every month. There were no curfews, the girls would drink booze and watch scary movies
- Gulp, gulp, gulp
- الانزلاق: 6
- NELLIEEE!! D-do you rememberrr your first day at our school?
- Yes, I do. I also think you've had too many crannebery vodkas.
- What-eveerr. Did you know that I, hahahah, I was asked to befriend you by our principal
- Ehhh, I, what...
- When Dee finally invited me to one of her sleepovers, everyone else had bailed. I talked to Dee's stepdad while Dee was getting drunk.
- الانزلاق: 7
- YES, I know, it's so funny isn't it?
- I even had to report back every Friday about what we did that week, new things I've learnt about you, our English lessons...
- AND GUESS WHAT, I GOT EXTRA CREDIT FOR IT!
- الانزلاق: 8
- At the school
- Do you like being black?
- Ehh, it's okay I guess
- Just okay?
- Yeah
- It's fine if you don't. I get it.
- Arghh Dee, don't start with this shit again. Something has to be bothering her cause she's not sharing her cigarette
- Now we're in Grade 11, trespassing on school property, once again. It's a Saturday afternoon and the boys soccer team is practicing next to us.
- الانزلاق: 9
- Kyle Gaillard thinks it's more than okay
- What, that I'm black?
- He's been asking about you
- Asking what?
- That's impossible, Kyle's a senior. He's an athlete and only dates pompoms. I'm invisible to him.
- الانزلاق: 10
- Why don,t we go ask him? He's right over there, practicing on the feild.
- Ehh, I don't really want to. Actually, I don't care. Let's just go.
- I knew Dee was up to something. I tried to be casual but my insides were filling up. The pressure of not knowing what's coming pushes against my stomach and chest
- الانزلاق: 11
- At the soccer field
- This has to be a setup, another one of Dee's practical jokes. Is Kyle in on it?
- Hey, Kyle
- Hi there Dee. Hi Nellie
- So, Nellie was wondering why you're asking about her
- Oh! Just out of interest, you know?
- الانزلاق: 12
- And?
- And nothing, just seen you around and was curious.
- So you like her?
- Yeah, I guess so
- What...
- الانزلاق: 13
- Do you like her braids?
- Yeah it's cool
- What? Even if it's not real
- What's your point?
- Nothing
- Why did she always have to comment on my hair? Was I really that different? She could always find the perfect way to embarass me.
- الانزلاق: 14
- That would be the last time I talk to Kyle. And for Dee, we eventually grew apart. I still think about her every now and then.
