Sound Familar?

Bsd

Is she looking at me?

I can feel her looking at me from the other side of the table, but if I look up from my gefilte fish, she'll get embarrassed. Or maybe she won't Maybe she'll smile. Oh sh**, what if she smiles at me? Will Eli's dad notice? Will Eli?

Ok, ok, the girls are standing up, they're clearing off the table. I can look up now, man, she is cute! Look at that little skirt, those little ankles, crap, now I'm staring, eyes back to the gefilte fish, boy. 

I wonder what her name is. She's Eli's sister's friend, maybe she's her age, but sometimes Shaina has older friends, so she could be my age. 

She could be dating. 

I could be dating.

I could be dating her. 

Ok, they're coming back now, f***, they're giggling, is she looking at me again? Sing, you idiot, sing, before Eli's dad booms at you, "Shmulik, sing with us!" because then she'll know your name, sh**, what if she does already? What if she knows my sister? I was looking at my sister's friend's tush. Sh**, sh**, sh**. 

"Can you pass the Coke, please?"

F***, did she just ask me to pass the Coke? Pass the Coke, Shmuel! Smile. Pass the Coke. F***. She has a lovely voice. Definitely not from New York. Does that mean something? She could have asked Eli to pass the Coke. She asked me. Oh, come on, she asked you to pass her some soda, not if you'd like to... yeah, don't even go there, it's bad enough you didn't say anything when you passed her the Coke.

I hate these meals. 

I wonder if I can come back next week?
