I Have Random Thoughts

I was part of a musical group that was going for a performance in a neighbouring country. He was the leader of the group. We were dating and it was what I thought would finally be a sweet start to my university life.

We had to ask for $ to tailor our concert uniform but had to show a sample of our proposed attire to the director. I was made to wear a white blouse we had picked off the rack in some shop and a batik skirt. He went into the room with me and explained to the director this was what we had chosen. The old man looked at me and replied with disapproval 'Look at the material! You look like you're wearing your sister's shirt!' He quickly assured the old man we would look for another blouse and placated him saying that all other aspects had been settled.

We left the office but he did not notice I was silent. Maybe he did but his mind was preoccupied with the trip and nothing else.

I never did look at him the same way after that. We lasted but one year.
