Then I 18 and luckily, I did have some spare shorts in my bag. I lent them to him, we played, and he won. Then we went to get a 19 . The woman at the canteen asked me what I wanted. “I'd like a Black Vanilla, please，” I said. (Where I come from, that's cola and ice cream.) “What on earth is that？” said the woman. I knew 20 how she felt.
