Flash Fiction #104 – A Girl Like Her

​

Who did she think she was?

She was a four on a good day.

A girl like her was lucky to be asked out by a guy like him!

He yelled all this while the high school cafeteria stared.

He wanted to shame her.

​

“You done?” she asked.

Bruce nodded.

“Bruce, girls don’t need guys like you anymore.

Build a time machine or get with the times.”
