" I reached out and grasped her hand. "I reallyappreciate it and, well, I was wondering if maybe..." I didn't get tofinish as I felt a hand sliding up...my leg under my dress. "Hey!" I triedto step away and pull my dress off Jan's arm but the door blocked my pathto one side and Terri was too close on the other."Oh, come on, show me those pretty panties." She reached again but Imanaged to keep her out from under my dress barely."You look like you are certainly going to have your hands full. She was sitting beside me so I kept my right foot on hers and pressed it firmly,I could see her expression change but withdrew before anyone else saw. She didn’t look at me after that, when we were about to get up from the dinner table my mom told me to sleep in my sisters room as it was really cold. Neither me nor my sister was bothered. I went to my sisters room at around 10.30 to sleep. Her lights were on. Her eyes were wide open and she was staring at the ceiling. As soon as I entered the. But I kept it to myself. There was a certain satisfaction in her not knowing what was going on my mind, though it wasn’t nearly worth how long it had been since I’d been able to touch her. I wondered if she was as frustrated as I was, aching for the moment we could taste each others lips once again. We talked about it casually throughout the week, that it seemed the stars were plotting against us, the fates trying to keep us apart. But we never let the conversations get too heavy. Deep down. Jessica looked up to the ceiling in such a determined way I thought something might be up there and so looked up myself. Our three hands still clasped together. Then Jessica started chanting in what sounded like gibberish, but I knew - because I knew Jessica - it was really ancient Aramaic. Jessica is so weird.Jessica parted with: "Bye-bye, ya'll, have fun.... Be gooooood!" She kissed Debbie and winked at me and magically disappeared into the crowd. I could hear Jessica's disembodied voice.
