"Oh!" she suddenly added. "Don't forget, it's Friday. We have a lotto do tonight so don't be late!"Chad stopped and had to think for a moment. What...was so special aboutFriday? It only took him a moment to remember - her nail appointmentevery Friday night. Make that his nail appointment too, because he wassure that was what she had really meant. He unconsciously tried tolook at the nails on his left hand, but they were wrapped around thehandles of his heavy purse. He said nothing back to. To top it all, she had morals. She said she didn't want to "get involved" in high school and was waiting for the "right guy" to come along and whoo her into his arms and all that other Twilight-high-school-girl-dream shit. Even though I always tried to flirt and talk with Elyse, I never got to know her until I graduated.It was a hot one in 2006. The SHS senior class trip was always to Cancun, Mexico, but since that white girl went missing, the plans had to change. The new destination was Panama. Roland and Elaine started kissing in the car on the way home, they were both a little drunk, his hand seemed to be well up under Elaine’s dress.I got them some more drinks at home, they started dancing together, Elaine telling me that Roland had danced all night with her, lots of arse rubbing and tongue filled kissing. They started to really kiss passionately on the sofa. Elaine told me to “try out” the bed in the spare room. I went to sleep in the spare room. I hear them giggling and slipping. She ran like she had been trained to, tight, controlled with not a movement wasted. She was aware of the burning in her throat, chest and muscles. She could hear her breathing, hard and ragged and she could feel her head getting lighter and lighter. Still she ran. If you do need to run, you will need to run hard. Head straight west to the gorge and don’t stop. Don’t even look back. Ahead of her, finally, the trees began to thin and she could hear the muted rumble of the river. So close now but.
