Hair

By Caitlin Farrugia

Marcel was half Maltese and a little Italian so naturally she was hairier than the other very white and sunny blonde students. She’d been aware of her faint moustache and furry legs on the day she had finally decided to ask Jamie out. By the time she’d mustered courage, Jamie had gone home with gastro so she left a message with his twin. Marcel couldn’t sleep that night, restless and sweaty and nervous. Though the next day the twin had confessed that he’d forgotten about her unrequited love and Jamie had already gotten married to Rach behind the grade 6’s playground.
