“People at school were curious when the BFF’s got boy-short hair cuts.
And they raised an eye brow when they both joined the golf team.
But it was the way Jody carried Becky around on her back to the school dance that confirmed all their suspicions.”

LOL!! If you did that in High School it MUST have been cool!
I hate to admit it but I still like the top haircut. It’s like a gel festival, but I’d do it. I’m not proud (obviously).
Nice socks.
I just keep thinking of that poor model who had that in her portfolio. She probably pulled it out years later to show her little niece or daughter and they probably said something really charming like, “Why did you look like a boy?” or “Why are you riding on her back?” or “Those socks look stupid.” Aaaah…the things we do for the sake of fads…so sad.
That sad thing is that I had the exact sweater “Becky” is wearing. What’s worse is that it’s still in my old closet at my parents’ house. Maybe my mom thinks I can wear it again someday or maybe she secretly wears it herself. She was always eyeing that sweater when I wore it back in the day.
