Anna on a Stick

Sometimes my friends are weirder than me. You all know my girl Anna is down in Miami on crutches because she broke her foot.

This chick called me last week to tell the tale of her adventure on crutches to the club. Yes you heard me right, Anna took her broke foot to the club! What kind of craziness?!!

But that’s just Anna, you can’t keep her down for long. Her friends convinced her to go because she had been sitting in the house for over a month, only leaving to go to her doctors appointments. She was reluctant but bored so she put on a sweatsuit and a white sock with a Nike check on the back and hobbled into her friends car as they rode out early so they could get a booth near the door.

As Anna neared the entrance to the club she began to feel uncomfortable. She noticed people looking at her but trying not to let her know they were looking at her. Her friends assumed the roles of body guards, clearing a path for her as they entered the club, which only brought more attention to the already embarrassed Anna.

She hopped to a booth and slid in thinking she would blend into the background. But because they were sitting so close to the front door, everyone who came in wound up staring at her foot, which she had propped up on a stool. To make matters worse, this was a club that she used to go to a lot so most everyone there knew her and made several comments about her presence.

“Girl, you just had to get outta that house didnt you?” one man said with a laugh when she caught him openly staring at her foot. She wiggled her toes at him to let him know she saw him looking.

“Anna!” one younger guy said to her, as if he were her mother. “Now you know you dont have no bizness up in this club with your foot like that! You couldnt stay away?! You know you aint right!”

Anna hung her head in shame and amusement. As the night wore on her drinks started to kick in and when it was time to leave she found herself wobbling on her crutches. As she neared the door she heard the familiar cat calls of men in pursuit and she wished she could walk faster so she could get away but found herself face to face with some guy trying to get her number. She was able to brush him off but others soon surrounded her.

Anna made it home and laughed at her little adventure. Next time her friends better bring the party to her!
