Stick With The Makeup

I remember the day as if it were last week. But, it was over 40 years ago so I am long since over the humiliation and can tell about it. As a sophomore in high school, it was imperative that I look great. After all, how else would one get noticed by the opposite sex.? This was one goal that I could excel in. I knew I was fairly cute and that I was also, hmm should I say...well endowed? So, back to the particular day while in Biology class.Our teacher Mr. Clancy had gone off topic again, but this time I was interested. He said way back in the day most women would pinch their cheeks and bite their lips to have a natural glow of rosiness about them. So for the rest of class, I silently sat pinching my cheeks and biting my lips. As class let out I hurried to the girl's bathroom. I was sure I looked awesome. So many stared after me, all I could do was smile back. Especially at the boys! Rushing to the mirror- I stared dumbfounded at the huge bruises on my cheeks and lips. Think I overdid it?
