I wish it wasn't so, but I'm afraid Marion is involved with another man."Bill closed his eyes and willed away the pain that washed over him. "Who is h...?" His name is Mark Dreesen and he's, get this, 24 years old. He is a part-time massage therapist, but recently his license lapsed. I have some more stuff coming, but he's nobody special." Tex had relayed the information in his usual matter-of-fact tone. It was just another report, except this one was personal."Do we know how long it's been going. I was very nervous for this game because all eyes were on me. Especially this one girl. We were playing our rival school team since my first year of high school. It was the 4th quarter, the other team was leading by two points. Our options were either score the easy two or take the three and win it all, we decided to shoot the three. The coach made the play for me. My heart was about to drop because the win was in my hands. As we got onto the court I noticed the girl who I liked. She was. The problem was, since I hadnever done that before, I didn't stop right, and slammed into a wallreally hard. It kind of hurt, but I knew I should be badly hurt, but Iwasn't. I guess they call that having some invulnerability. I gothelp, and then just hoped that no one really saw it. But, they did.Then, the stories and rumors started. I had been pretty popular before,but now kids not only acted afraid, some of them still taunted me. Myparents freaked out, and took me to a hospital. But,. True, she and Trudy had kissed, but they had also done a lot more than that in the deserted band room that afternoon. And Trudy had not been the sole recipient of Cherie's wiles. At least three other girls had succumbed to Cherie's charms already and that was only at her new school. At the school back in the city, she had actually acquired the reputation of a femme fatale who had already, at the tender age of fifteen, initiated a number of other willing girls into the joys of feminine.
