Classes went on, some were good, some still not so great.As Friday drew closer, the buzz about the raffle grew, it was strange, there were only a smal... number of students actually involved in the raffle, but the whole school seemed excited about the event.I could only knowingly smile, with this type of response then it boded well for some more students’ enrolling in next year’s shop class, which would really please Mr. Carter.Nothing had been announced on what was happening yet, I hadn’t seen. He gave it a little squeeze and I shifted uneasily in my spot."Why are you so tense Jess?"I turned towards Daddy, my eyes wide with fear and anxiety."I don't know Daddy."I jumped when I felt Mr. Sawyer's hand go to my knee. His hand was so hot on my skin. I looked down at it, and up into Mr. Sawyer's face, my eyes fluttering away quickly when his met mine. His hand moved slightly up, and stopped on my upper thigh. I looked back at Daddy who was smiling lustfully at me."You need to relax Jessi.. I sure hope we don’t meet a train way up here though.”Jon David was standing in the middle of the little hand-car while the six Bucks pumped the hand bars faster and faster, the cold morning air whipping at their faces.When they rounded the bend and came to the wooded area on both sides of the railroad right-of-way, they stopped pumping and let the little hand-car slowly coast to a stop as they all stood and looked out into the trees on both side. They saw another, longer trestle up ahead where. Then I would think about the rest that had happened and think how the fuck can you be down when you have had that experience.Epilogue:In February, about six weeks after our holiday was over, I got home one evening and found my flatmate had taken a message for me that day. He said a woman calling herself Ally had phoned when he was home for lunch and said to tell me to stay at home the next day, as she was in town and would call after lunch sometime. I didn’t know if he meant she would phone.
