She never listened to anybody
This was around the time I was 8 or 9 years old.
I was in the 3rd grade.
The teacher's aid always told her and the rest of us not to stand up on the swing.
She always did it anyway.
She never listened to anybody.
I heard she had a terrible upbringing.
She was beaten by her mother for being mischievous and defiant.
Her father would come home when he wanted to.
He was a traveling salesman.
Supposedly he had two mistresses, with families in Texas & Virginia.
I hated her guts because she always used to chase me home from school, pull my hair and try to kiss me.
She was huge and ghastly.
She scared the shit out of me.
I wanted to kick her ass but my parents always told me not to hit a girl.
So I never did.
She wanted attention from anyone.
She would do anything.
One day at lunch she was doing her standing on the swing stunt.
She was singing out loud some Madonna song, when she fell off the swing and ate the ground so hard!
It still makes me cringe and laugh thinking about it now.
She fell like a sack of potato's.
I swear she left half of her face on the asphalt.
She was on the ground crying and bleeding.
Two of her teeth came out of her mouth.
We were all standing there looking at her like she was from another planet.
I remember how we were all fascinated by the blood and the pain she was in.
It was the talk of the school for a few days.
She was out for the rest of the week.
After the incident, she never chased or bothered me again.
I heard when she was a young adult she went boating during a violent storm off the cost of Florida.
She drowned in the Atlantic.
Probably was warned not to go out in those conditions.
She listened to no one.
She was courageous but not to intelligent.
