It was the first admission that Meredith might feel the same way as himself, even if she planned to take holy orders. Most likely, she simply assumed ...hat she stood no chance with even Harry, and consequently planned her life to manage without him. She thought herself to be ugly, since everyone deemed her that way (except for Harry, of course)."Well, Meredith, I have my own plans for you, and they do not involve a nunnery," Harry swore to himself, when he was safely in the tanning shop.He was. In college they were still close friends. Jenny was doing what most students do and having fun while getting her degree in literature. Andy was growing more and more interested in computers, working on some software she didn’t understand. She was thrilled for him when he sold his software and made a few millions. He had hoped that the money would make her look at him in a different light but it didn’t. And then his troubles started. The most popular girl in their year started flirting with him;. She leaned toward me slightly and kissed me chastely on the cheek. “Goodbye, Jim,” she said in a half-whisper. Then glancing back over her shoulder at the clock on the wall, she gathered her belongings and walked out of the classroom, presumably to collect a few more yearbook inscriptions. I watched her leave, and after looking around the nearly empty classroom – Mrs. DeVargas, my English 4 instructor, had departed some time before to get a cup of Sanka so she could finish grading some. " Why would you want to?" I'm so scared!"I grabbed her and flipped her over, so that she was looking at me. I forced her head up so she'd have to look in my eyes. I could see the redness, and the tear-tracks. "Callie. I know you're scared. You think I'm not? I haven't exactly had good experiences either. But I'm willing to take a chance." I don't have a choice, now," she sniffled. "I'm already in deep." Cal. It's never going to work if you spend the whole time waiting for the other shoe to.
