I’ve even been known to make an impressive stab at rapping it when booze is involved.
“Crossroads” was probably the first rap song I legitimately liked, and I still do. Ultimately, though, Gabe knew he had one signature move he could rely on when he wanted to get back at me: Bone Thugs ‘n’ Harmony’s “Crossroads.”īone Thugs ‘n’ Harmony, “Crossroads” (download) But when I was in a particularly feisty mood, I wasn’t afraid to use my nails (he caught me tying his shoes together in class once and I dug my nails into his knuckles so hard that if left a scar for quite awhile), or force him to sit through some god awful girlish movie or music video (and I rarely actually liked those kinds of things, I just used them when I wanted to annoy him). I didn’t like to abuse the power balance, so things generally ended with bartering (“Okay, fine, we can watch Cutthroat Island, but only if you walk to Bartell Drugs with me so I can get some Jujubees”). As the girl, I had the upper hand – let’s face it, few guys ever pull out the same arsenal on their girl friends that they do on their guy friends. Usually we were just teasing each other about our crushes (unpredictable as we were, I liked the “most popular” guy and he the “most popular” girl - not that that meant much at our tiny school) or fighting over what we were going to do that afternoon. Male and female friendship being what it is, we spent a lot of time teasing and harassing each other.
I lived far outside the standard reach of our Montessori school, so living close to one of my classmates rarely happened. He came into our private school rather late in the game - most of us had been in classes together for years - but we became fast friends because he lived near me. In sixth grade, I was very good friends with a guy named Gabe.
