"STEPHANIE AND JAYDEN"
My name is Stephanie and I am the daughter of a celebrity couple in Hollywood. We live in a mansion overlooking Los Angeles. My parents, who are active in the film industry, often entertain through parties at home. My older sister, Felicity, who is twenty-five, has always been a movie star. I go to college and when I had just started college Felicity thought that I should get a girlfriend. The point was that the family was, according to her, overly normal and it was getting embarrassing.
I had nothing better to do and it is best to do as she says. Then she gets pleased. On the Internet I found out when I was about to go out with a lesbian girl who was my age and in the neighborhood. She even went to my school. We didn’t say who we were, but arranged a blind date right away.
Outside she put her hands in front of my eyes from behind, as one does when the other one shall guess who it is. She had small hands so I thought maybe it was one of the Asians, that would have been fun. But it wasn’t. It was one of my classmates, Sidney. One of those who definitely is not a lesbian and is my room mate. What was she doing here? Why had she been looking for a lesbian girl online? But what do I know, so I presumed that we were on a serious date. We ate at a restaurant with white tablecloths.
“We will have a great relationship,” Said Sidney suddenly during the dinner, although I didn’t have any special features then, as I do now, asymmetric bangs and highlights in the hair.
Since then I have been an outsider at school and the lesbian girl. Sidney had told everyone, and showed pictures from our date. I’m not even lesbian or whatever that is. The one I dated, Sidney, completely ignores me.
Felicity was feeling guilty because she thought it was her fault. What I intended to write about wasn’t about being an outsider, but the turning point. I began dating a guy, Jayden. He appeared for the first time outside my house. We are the same age. Once, he drove a sports car alone with me and we were out all night with it. He says the most pretty things to me, and knows precisely what I need to hear being an outsider at school. I thought that as soon as he would regard me as his girlfriend, I could bring him to school, show them all.
Once when we were outside of Jayden’s school, there were a few other students rushing down a hill beside the road where we stood. The dry sand rustled. Then Jayden pulled off a wig with all the curls on. Beneath, his hairstyle was reminiscent of Sidney’s. She had cut her hair short the same day Jayden showed up. Then he tore off pieces that he had attached to the sides of the nose, covered in make-up. The nose was actually thin but had appeared wider with the pieces in place.
-Hi sweetie! Said Sidney, as she talks in school, with her standard voice. I was a little traumatized so didn’t register a lot of visual input. So I don’t know if her sister, who is a Makeup Artist, had done more things to establish Jayden.
-Told you we would be a great couple. We may have a secret relationship and I’ll be nice to you in school. But you must not tell the others that I am dating you. FYI, Jayden is one of my middle names.
I told her at once. -No. If you want to continue, then you have to tell everyone about us. That we have been together most of our time in college. And you must go to the dance with me. And hold hands in school, I said, and knew that she wouldn’t agree but she did.
So we went to the dance, we were the cool couple of our school, seated in the back in the classroom. I have no friends.
