]Toward the end of the term, something similar happened in some of my other classes too (not English, obviously). I think the teachers must've had a l...ttle conference about me for most of them to copy Mr. Barrett so quickly. I was given the option of doing some extra material, maybe for extra credit. I was happy to agree, both to relieve the boredom, and to push myself to find out how much more capable I was.By the time school finished for the calendar year, my teachers and classmates had. There seemed to be some good choices if you didn’t need one of the lower two-thirds, pricewise.An hour later, we were in the room.Gee shoved me back onto a king-sized bed. “It’s about time, dude.”“Time for what?”“Time for you to get me in a hotel room. We’ve never been in one together.”She’s right. It’s always been either the boat or the house. Or somewhere outdoors in proximity to either of those.Now I’m looking up at a blue-eyed redhead with a grin that I’d follow into the fires of hell,. Me: Are you sure you can take one more shot?R: Yup pretty sure. Can’t you?Me: Yes I can. Make it raw. Don’t add water.R: That’s how I like it.We took two more shots and she was rather too high.R: Hey Rahul don’t you think it’s rather too hot.Me: Yes di.R: Why don’t you remove your t-shirt.Me: No di not in front of you. (Though I was high, I was somewhat in control.)R: Then what? Ok, wait I will remove my top so that you don’t feel uncomfortable.And she removed her top in one go. Now she was in. In the sorority'schapter room there was a stained glass memorial to two of the memberswho were assaulted and murdered in the house during the 70s.Yes, there were many other downsides to being a girl, weight, limitingfood intake, more body maintenance. But there were many upsides. Amongthem were the relationships with other women.Ken saw all women as potential romantic interest. He never took theeffort to develop relationships with women as friends. If he had takenthe time maybe some of those.
