..Madge," I said as I set the shovel down. "Well if a little neighbor boy can't help a neighbor I don't know what,"she said. "What are you afraid of?"...she innocently questioned as she ledme inside her kitchen and set everything on the table.She shut the kitchen door and took off her coat then went to the cookiejar on the counter. "You must let me pay you for all your help," she saidas she returned with a five dollar bill and stuffed it in my front jeanspocket. I didn't want to take it but did. “Come on.” She said as she opened the front door. “Where are we going?” She kissed me, “You’ll see.” 10 minutes later we were parked in front of Carla’s house. “What are we doing here?” She killed the engine and honked the horn twice. “Earlier in study hall Carla wanted me to come over to her house tonight.
