Myroslav’s in love…
Myroslav was in love with Luba -- but she didn’t give a shit about him.
“We’re going to get married,” he would dreamily say. “Right after we’re done with school, you know?” And he winked as if taking us into conspiracy he had on going with Luba.
Stefan had enough of that and told him so. “You’re a real jerk,” he’d say as he shook his head in disgust. “I bet you she makes it with her Italian boyfriend, you asshole!”
Myroslav almost came out swinging from Mindy’s soda shop but the other guys held him back so he went off down Second Avenue cursing and mumbling to himself.
“Everyone knows that she’s a cunt,” Stefan said. “Why just yesterday she was in the park with that older guy she sees.” He stood up. “Aw, hell, you just watch and see…”
That Friday night, as the bunch was at Mindy’s along came Luba with her beau, maybe twenty years older then her and who had been married before but now it looked like he was after younger fruit, namely Luba.
I glanced over at Myroslav, his head was down and mumbling dejectedly to himself. Again Luba just walked by holding her old lovers arm and dreamily not seeing anything else.
How long would that last? I thought to myself, Myroslav angrily took off down the avenue after Luba and her beau….
Later I found out nothing had happened. I don’t even know if Myroslav confronted the old lover or not….
I shrugged and went on standing outside of Mindy’s soda shop saying snotty remarks to the girls who strolled by.
