Hello peeps, my name is Plum. They call me Plum because when I was a kid my mom’s always left plum colored lipstick on my cheeks. She kissed me every day before letting me out of the family car for school. My friends had jokes readily available as soon as they saw me. I kept tissue in my book bag to wipe my face before entering the school, but they knew anyway due to the smudge marks I always left behind on my cheek. Quietly kept, I am a mother’s boy and still am to this day. Eventually, I grew into the name; I could bittersweet at times depending on my mood. During my sophomore year in high school, I met Linda. She lived on my block. She was the prettiest, tiniest, and mouthiest female in our sophomore class. She knew it too. I appreciated her style and she adored my athletic body and spirit. By this time, I was the point guard on the varsity basketball team. She and I openly flirted with one another, but it never went any further. She had her males friends and I had my female acquaintances, none of could be compared to her by any means. She (Linda) was special to me. Honestly, she could have been wifey.
