(a university-life vignette) It’s a Friday night, Leong and I are at a small restaurant close to the dorm called “Ordinary.” We’re in a cozy, pleasantly dark, little red booth—waiting for Lisa—who’s running late. This is Leong’s favorite bar and her taste in exotic drinks is labile—tonight she has us drinking ‘Maker’s Mark,’ a delicious, straight-up bourbon, with a twist of orange peel. We’re on our second—and I’m starting to buzz—did I mention Lisa's running late? On a hot note, we’re celebrating. I turned in the first draft of my thesis prospectus last Wednesday and this morning I got it back - accepted. But more importantly, when I tore into the envelope, back in my room, there was a yellow sticky-note on the prospectus that read like an academic valentine. It said: “Anais, you write beautifully, with the economy of a poet.” I may have danced around my room. So, we’re sitting there, sipping our drinks and noshing on a charcuterie platter when this cute, hipster, Princeton transfer-student guy named Milo showed up—drink in hand. He’s like, 5 '11 with light-brown medium-longish hair tucked behind his ears and he’s wearing a light blue, textured cardigan over a tan t-shirt and leaf-green work pants. At first, he’s walking by, but he spots us and stops. “Has anyone ever told you look like Anais Vionet?” He asked me. “No,” I replied, “never.” “You sound like her too,” he followed up.” “Well, I wouldn’t know,” I answered, shaking my head ‘no’ and shrugging. “But she’d never come to a dive this cheap,” he updogged. “Oh, yes she would,” I assured him. Then, I gasped, remembering. Milos on one of Yale’s 500 soccer teams. “You guys lost to Princeton the other day! Isn’t that your alma mater? Congratulations!” “Thanks, for bringing that up,” he said somewhat chagrined, “We lost one-to-nil—it was just bad luck,” he said defensively. “Oh, bad luck,” I chided him. He did look tired and defeated, so I motioned him to take a seat. He slid right in next to Leong, who’s hand he shook, “Milo,” he said. “I KNOW,” she said, in a sly and evil way—we’ve talked about him, conspiratorially—even she thinks he’s cute—and cross-culturally cute isn’t easy. “Are you superstitious?” Milo asked us—turning so Leong was included. “Oh, sure,” I spoke first, “I was raised catholic, and even if you don’t hundo-p believe it, it carries over. I always carry a lucky crystal with me—you know, for tests and what-not—I depend on that, as opposed to diligence and studying.” “You have one with you now?” He followed up. “I do,” I confessed, “I always have one in my bra.” “Wow,” he laughed, “Why?” “I don’t know,” I chuckled, “For luck—in case I need to appear supper fun and sassy? Though I guess I’m proof crystals don’t work.” “Do you really have a crystal in your bra?” He asked, sipping his whisky. “Yeah,” I said, sliding my hand discreetly into my left cup and bringing out a tiny, flat green, polished Jade stone crystal. “Isn’t that uncomfortable?” He asked. “Nah, there’s plenty of room in there,” I admitted, sliding the crystal back in place. “Leong’s superstitious,” I said, nodding to her. “All Chinese are superstitious,” Leong pronounced, “Whenever I had a big exam at school, my mother would go and leave a chicken at the temple.” Milo and I chortled—I’d actually seen women do that when I lived in Shenzhen. “Well, I guess it worked!” he pronounced, and he and Leong high-fived. “We have a saying, ‘it’s better to be lucky than good,” he added. We say, “Yùnqì bi nénglì geng zhòngyào,” Leong noted, in Cantonese. “Luck is more important than ability,” I translated. Speaking of luck, Lisa finally arrived. . . Songs for this: Where Are You by 54 Ultra Cut Glass by mark william lewis . .
