Отрывок из книги

Steven A. Bollar

One day during my eighth-grade year I was walking home from school with Danielle. Where I grew up, everybody walked home from school. Danielle and I kind of liked each other, so we would walk home together most days. I lived on Ninth Street and Danielle lived on Seventh Street. Once we turned onto Seventh Street, Danielle said, “Steve, stop.”

.....

Tall people can't play hide and seek very well. There is just something about that game that doesn't work for us. Unless there is a tree or column around, we just can't seem to find a hiding spot. The only good thing about the game, depending on how you play it, is once found, we can usually outrun, reach, or tag the person who found them in order to not be “it.” But to be honest, I rather be “it” anyway. If I'm “it,” I don't have to worry about finding a place to hide. It is just too much pressure. Many times, when I would play hide and seek, I would purposely get found. “Oh darn, you found me… what a shame… I guess I'm it now…”

Tall people are always seen. They don't blend in with those around them. As much as I think that I don't stand out, I do. I am always on. Sure, I can walk around as if nobody can see me, but I know differently. The first thing they think when they see me is, “Wow, he is tall. I wonder if he plays basketball?” There are many times I don't want to be in the spotlight. I do want to play hide and don't seek. That time to hide and don't seek is valuable to me. It is time that I use to think, be alone, and make plans for what I want to do. Many shorter people take that opportunity for granted. It is common to blend in with the crowd and not stand out. Many people go out of their way to be noticed. But when your entire life revolves around people noticing you, blending in becomes something that you long for.
