“The Director’s Girlfriend,” Hobart Pulp
You ended up at parties like this—humid, too many artists, too few places to stand—because of Melissa. She swore that no one at these events found you to be a hanger-on or an irrelevancy, even though they did, because you were. But staying in her orbit always kept you safe within her corona of sociability, which is why you tended to linger within 50 or so feet of her in these situations. People came to her, so by extension they came to you, if you needed them. Melissa was one of those people around whom others oriented their lives without much thought, like you do the Gregorian calendar or a favorite color. Girls like her usually made you jealous, a cardinal sin you nearly never resisted, but you were never jealous of her. Not for lack of a reason, of course. It just didn’t surface in you the same way.
