kristi & krista

WOMEN 2
Kristi was the incredibly beautiful early developer about whom hormonal boys invented crass new verses of popular songs. Krista wasn't a can of spam, either. I was still almost too shy to even conceive of kissing a girl. At a summer church retreat when i was thirteen, we walked on the beach, and the two of them held my hands. They marveled at how my hands didn't get sweaty, and said that any other boy's would have. In the real world i was just a non-romantic band friend of Krista's, but for one moment, i had the two beautifullest girls in the world all to myself. Perfection stuck twice when there was a boys-girls volleyball game, and to balance the numbers, i was exiled to the girls' team. In a moment no one believed, our team came from behind and won.
