There are always clicks in every high school. There are the girls with big boobs - they are always the "in-girls", the girls with the "pretty faces" and then there were the girls with no boobs and not-so-pretty faces - they were the "out-girls", and finally if you were fat, had bad zits, you were definitely the "down and out girls." My cousin Jackie and myself were fed up. We were in the "budding and waiting to bloom girls" club. We had no boobs, we had no zits, we were not fat but we were determined to show that we were cool too. Our school had an indoor swimming pool and during gym class we were required to put on a one piece bathing suit and swim for an hour with the boys.
Jackie and I decided if we had to put on our suit and swim we were going to look good. We took pillow foam and cut small pieces up and stuffed them in our bathing suits and puffed up our flat boobies. We grabbed our towels and instead of slinking out to the pool area and sliding in the water, slowly walked to the steps and waded in. We saw the guys looking and the smiles. Jackie was even brave enough to adjust her bathing suit as if her boobs were uncomfortable in her tight suit. We were laughing and excited and proceeded to swim around smirking and snickering at the less fortunate girls. We figured when we got out and got dressed we might even leave in a piece of foam or two.
In a short while I noticed Jackie swimming away quietly and trying to get out at the other end of the pool. As I started to swim over to her I heard the guys whooping and hollering. They were laughing like crazy. It seems our suits did the job but we forgot that foam floats. I looked over at the guys who were throwing pieces of wet foam back and forth and trying to guess which girls had the foam boobies. I too swam over to the edge of the pool and snuck back in the girls locker room. We laugh a lot about this incident today.
