MarcellaCinderella Part 7

It's been awhile since we've had a MarcellaCinderella post.. and besides... I have "Nothing to blog about"....

Where were we...

Let's see I think my pesky younger brother was hiding out behind the plastic plants...listening in and reporting to Mamma.

During this time frame....I was trying to be coy.. and acting like I didn't really care one way or another about Mr R... When in reality, I had already picked out the china pattern and the bridesmaid's dresses and the names of our future childern.
( Yeah. some may call it freaky.. I prefer to call it using "The Secret" ...before anyone knew about "The Secret")

I however have a weird belief in The Jealousy Jinx... Evil Eye... Full Moon Mania.. Laugh on Friday cry on Saturday... Type of superstitions ....you name it.. I hold some credence to it..to one degree or another....

So I didn't really think I should go around telling everyone how I felt about Mr R.

It took forever for me to tell any of the girls at "Our" lunch table... Even my closet friend G... What I put that poor girl through... all in the name of friendship!!!!!
All the bike rides to baseball games... All the football games... all the

"Walk with me past this or that class"..She, never knowing why we just HAD to be here or there, or why we had to take the extra extra long way around the building.. For the longest time she just had no clue I was pining for the stud puppy in silk shirt and red bell bottom pants.

I think she just thought I really really like sports!!

Once thing is for sure... Going to all these games and events helped us get our Mock Election titles..

I was voted "Most Spirited"

( and NO there was no reference to drinking involved)...

She was voted "Most Gullible".... fitting I would say...
(and yes... those really were our titles....)

I was really afraid of invoking the "Jealousy Jinx" but moreover....I would have to say I did not have a lot of confidence that he could ever REALLY like me.... After all.. he was a major Jock.. Involved in all kinds of sports. He was in the band as well... I assure you .. there were NOT alot Jocks ,who were also in the band..

He even tried out for and won a part in the school's production of 1776... He was Joshia Bartlett... Oh that lucky Luann A. ( She played his wife...The role I coveted for my real life!!!!)

I was just that unknown... kinda funny freshman chick, who got really possessive of lunchroom tables... I could not really bring my self to believe that someone like him.. would ever notice someone like me, let alone want to actually go out.

Yet.. he did seem to pay more and more attention ...

Seemed to be coming around alot more often ....and .... alone...

Hmmmm maybe... just maybe....

Then it happened...

The day we both knew something was different.

For now... all I will say is.... It involved a bike ride....

To Be Continued......
