'Whatever you do,' she warns, 'don't order salad. No one ever looks cute eating a salad.'
At the cross street between the uptown and downtown trains, he tugs at your collar and says,"This is a cute shirt." You say thanks and hug him goodbye.You watch him run down the steps into the station, and instead of heading to your own, you decide to go for a walk because you're hungry and haven't had dinner yet.
Later, as you're sitting across from J at the diner, you order the matzo ball soup because it's not salad. He orders the grilled chicken sandwich and a diet cola. Actually, you'll have a diet cola as well. As J tells you about his childhood growing up in West Virginia or whatever, you're sweating bullets looking at the salad in front of you. It's gargantuan. You don't want him to think you're wasteful, so after finishing your soda and slurping your soup, there's nothing left to do but pick up your fork and eat the damn salad.
But this is years later. Right now you're eating a clunky diner salad in front of a boy from your dorm.
