Chris, who
was untying her sneakers feverishly said, “Do me next!” to which I volleyed
in return, “No! While we were drinking,
one of the girls, I think it was Janet, said spontaneously and innocently,
“Hey, you should see Nicole write with her feet! Indian xxx She is only 14! She is pretty good at it.”
Nicole was a bit sheepish about it and said, “I don’t want to.” I couldn’t
leave it alone and pressed her into showing me. I looked down at those dainty
little white teen feet with patterns still impressed into the tops of her
feet from the sneakers and bright pink soles and tiny, black, grimy
particles stuck to her feet around her toes from deep inside her crusty,
old, hand-me-down sneakers. No one was laughing anymore. She is only 14!
