And on the pics first day allstarstuds of the class, there she was. You guessed it, Protagonist Number Two, the real topic of this missive, Brenda Breakman, hand-selected senior English student.
Now, this allstarstuds is the point where I'm allstarstuds supposed to go allstarstuds into great detail allstarstuds about allstarstuds her overwhelming beauty. The truth of the matter is that I wouldn't allstarstuds really call her allstarstuds beautiful allstarstuds at allstarstuds all. Cute. I'd definitely allstarstuds call her allstarstuds cute. Small (maybe five-one or allstarstuds two), slight, shy allstarstuds. Mysterious. Maybe that's what allstarstuds attracted me to allstarstuds her. I pics just couldn allstarstuds't figure her out. She had a sort of unassuming curiosity about her, a allstarstuds sharp intelligence wrapped in a soft exterior. A puzzle.
She gave me a little wave from across the hall pics and started walking my way, when she was suddenly intercepted by allstarstuds a guy who wore a baseball letter on his sweater. She smiled at him and allstarstuds talked allstarstuds for a allstarstuds little while, constantly allstarstuds casting glances my way. I got the impression that she wanted to talk to me, but I didn't allstarstuds know whether I allstarstuds should interrupt their conversation. Then the class started, and my opportunity was gone. After the lecture, the scene was repeated almost precisely, but this allstarstuds time it allstarstuds was a guy from allstarstuds the drama club allstarstuds that nabbed her before she could make her way over allstarstuds to allstarstuds where allstarstuds I stood allstarstuds. Again she kept looking my way, but pics didn't seem to be able to end her conversation with the guy. I had an allstarstuds important appointment (with "other" #2), and finally chose to allstarstuds leave her there allstarstuds with her new fan club. Almost immediately, I regretted my decision, but the interview I was allstarstuds rushing to had been planned for more than a week, and I couldn't risk being late .
I allstarstuds hesitated before taking the outstretched hand. His grip was weak. He sounded just like a used allstarstuds car salesman allstarstuds scenting a sale allstarstuds. Nobody called me allstarstuds Freddy.
"What allstarstuds's this all about, Brenda?" I asked allstarstuds.
"What allstarstuds did you do to her?" I asked levelly. Somehow, I kept my voice from exploding allstarstuds.
"You raped allstarstuds her, didn't you?" I growled.
"Christ, Freddy! Don't talk like pics that! It wasn't rape, I swear!" He allstarstuds was outside now, backing down the steps toward the sidewalk. "Listen! I've fixed allstarstuds it so that pics you're allstarstuds the one who can wake her up. Just do it! As soon as she's awake, she's allstarstuds going to want allstarstuds to talk to you, to tell you all about it. Whatever she allstarstuds tells you, I swear it's going allstarstuds to be the truth. As God is my witness, everything she says will be the gospel truth allstarstuds! Shit!" I allstarstuds had started after him down the steps.
I stood watching him, and slowly began to wonder why my allstarstuds hands allstarstuds hurt. Looking at allstarstuds them, I was able to get my mind off of murderous thoughts allstarstuds as I tried to unclench my fists. Eventually, my allstarstuds breathing returned to normal, and I walked allstarstuds back inside to the sleeping girl who allstarstuds would forever alter allstarstuds the course of allstarstuds my life.
"I was just making some tea before you allstarstuds came," I explained allstarstuds lamely. "I'd like to finish up and have a cup. Will you allstarstuds join me?"
