bmlezng Back It s From Bud ALICE MARIE HANSS 44 OU may thrnk me rather srlly for tellrng ou these thrngs but thrs afternoon rs just one of those free for thought days when remrnrscrng about chrldhood romance rs empha stzed by the warm dryrng sun playrng hrde go seek wxth the fluffv cotton lrke clouds and the crrckets keeprng trme wrth the cat brrd rn the lrlac bush Maybe rts the concoctron of the hummrng of rnsects and the fragrant odor of fresh sprrng flowers as I lay here rn the long shadows of late afternoon or maybe rts the newness of really bern alone for a few mrnutes that tosses my thoughts recklessly back and forth as a butterfly flutterrng from one flower to another Suddenly I seem to see my erghth grade teacher w rrtrng hrstory questrons on the blackboard Sure enough thats Mrke Caffney tryrng to make a date wrth Kay len nesy for a coke at Marys Sweet Shoppe after school and there s Mrnnre Marrow wrth her head tucked rnto a Math book ack Sprtz threw a wad of gum and where should rt land but rn the mrdst of Glorra Neskrn s heavy crop of harr Why hax ent I untrl now notrced that hand some hunk of man srttrng rn the seat next to the wrndow7 Strands of chestnut brown harr fall care lessly oser the freckles on hrs forehead sendrng a dreamy look rnto hrs sea green eyes Would I be bold enough to catch hrs eye? It has been a week and a half srnce George Bud for short has flashed that Pepsodent smrle rn my drrectron Up untrl now I thought he had for gotten the grrl rn the first seat thrrd row But joan Flaherty just slrpped me a note and whrspered Its from Bud Its rom Bud those words dash madly through my head echorng and reechorng Unconscrously I tear open the note tryrng to hrde my anxrety knowmg that hrs eyes must be focused rn my drrectron It reads Dear une rf you can be spared for a few mrnutes after school would you lrke to stop off at Marys Sweet Shoppe for a sundae7 Bud Yes I drd go to Marys wrth Bud that after noon that afternoon and many others lagged by rn that same srde booth eatrng prnetpple sundaes and once rn a whrle glancrng sheeprshly through the corners of our eyes at each other And Ill nexer forget the first trme he held my hand rt was the last week rn june and both of us had an urge for a long hrke rn the glen The ground was soft lrke marshmallows We had just crossed a stream berng partrcular on whrch rocks we stepped I felt as free as the trger lrlres bobbrng therr yellow heads along the banks of the hrll As hrs hard smooth hand slrd rnto mrne chrlls ran around my heart grvrng me that warm feelrng rnsrde une he whrspered your harr looks almost red rn the sun I can remember other days rn that summer of dreams that stood out vrxrdly rn my mrnd such as the afternoon he crawled out on the branch of a cherry tree lust to srng a sentrmental lrttle song that he had practrsed for weeks when all of a sud den the branch weakened under hrs one hundred and fifty srac pounds abruptly puttrng an end to hrs romance wrth a thud The sun rs now seeprng lower rn the west search mg for new lands and more people lust lrke you and me who lay awake nrghts wartrng for rts wel comrng smrle to cos er the land each mornrng send rng warm trnglrng feelrngs through us The odor of steak and french frred potatoes coupled wrth mother s call for supper rudely tears me away from those fond school day memorres to the realrzatron of the present Lrfe rs not so short but that there rs trme for remrnrscrng 43 0 I I I I 7 a a u n 5 y ...
