Cheeky Cherry’s Dating Dilemma’s

Girls are almost always little fashionistas at heart. As well, boys have always been on our minds. We always dress to impress. As I’ve gotten older and grown wiser, I dress so rad because it makes me feel good about myself. But back in the day, we only dressed to impress the boys…as noted in a note from my bff circa 6th grade, set on Lisa Frank stationery and all:

“Dear [Cheeky],

So hey how ya doing? I’m fine! What are you doing? Not much here, but I’m trying to decide what to wear tomorrow!!! Ya know, it is so hard to find something to where when you don’t know what to wear. Talk about a pain in the behind or what. [Here comes a little mis-wording] Well,  are you wearing Friday for free dress? I think I’m going to wer either my black or purple jean shorts with either my light jean sleeve-less shirt or my dark jean sleeve-less shirt.

Or I might wear something else if I don’t wear that! So what are you wearing to state in Baton Rouge? I don’t know what I am wearingyet! Oh! My gosh I gotta find out soon! Well all of ya’ll think I like Terry a whole lot. Well I do like him a whole lot, but not as much as ya’ll say I do. Remember when I told you I still like Britt. When I found out we were following him and Kelly to Baton Rouge I was so happy!!!!!!!!!!! Well don’t tell anyone I still like him or I will just die!!!!!

Well who do you like? (BJ right) and that kid that was on the bus. He was fine. Well Wednesday ya know how I left early after Spirit Day was over, I went home, and my mom told me to come to her school for a minute. And guess who I saw. Terry!!!! <3 !!! I was so happy!! Well I hope that the fair has good rides this year! Hey, let’s me and you and everybody else go to the fair together. (If you want!) Well, I’m going Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to the fair. But I’m leaving early Sunday night. Are you going to the sock-hop? I don’t know if I’m gonig yet. I heard they might not have their sock-hop anymore. I wonder if alot of people are going to it? (I hope some of the boys at the fair are fine! Don’t you?)

Well anyway, I gotta go because I have to go wash my hair. I have to do that. Well, bye for now!

YBFFAA,

Melissa”

I actually saw BJ (the guy in the letter whom I liked waaay back in the day) recently at my dad’s 60th birthday. And he was still so very fine.
