When we reached the bus stop, it seemed that a bus came almost right away. I reached for a pocket to get my student ID (we used student IDs to get on ...he buses for free) but then realized my leopard-print mini skirt didn’t have pockets. “Check your purse, Cynthia,” Jillian said, noticing that I was confused as to where my ID was. I checked the purse and sure enough my ID, complete with a picture of me that said “Christopher Kowalski, Student” was right at the top. I took it out to flash to the. I was shy, as I said before, so that must have made me a challenge. They began flashing me and watching my reactions. The weather was warming and we had a swimming pool. The final thing was them inviting me to skinny dip. “Come on, Tony, let us see your pecker. We want it to be hard so don’t be shy about that. You are seeing our girly parts. Don’t you like them?”I got in the pool with my suit on and they ganged up to remove it, then groped for my maleness. It was hard being so close to two. He called me back the next day, worse drunk, and said to pick up a prescription at the nearby drug store I had named.The pharmacist looked at the list of pills and potions and shrugged before handing them to me. “I hope your alligator with a peptic ulcer and colon cancer gets well soon.”I nearly dropped the bag. Preparing the remedies took seven blocks of fifteen minutes every day. I hardly had time to work. Finally, after three days of pills and potions, Rory stopped throwing up. She was so. It’s inconclusive. It discounts Eva’s persuasiveness.Once again, she was half in his lap with the U-turn, and she looked at him and said, “Honest to God, Frankie, we have to stop meeting like this. What will people think?”Eva was secretly enjoying this. She had thought about asking him to hold her hand while they crossed the parking lot, but she knew when to back off. Frank was a head case, and she didn’t know his.
