”“Okay!” remarked Peter. “What did the Daring Duo do now?”Lauren laughed brightly. “Holly? Nothing! She thinks first grade is just the gre...test thing since sliced bread! No, it was her big brother! He decided to take a shoe box full of garter snakes to school for show-and-tell and never told me.”“Oh, no, don’t tell me...”“You got it! He opens the lid and the snakes got loose. The girls are screaming, Mrs. Detweiler was standing on her desk, everyone is running around like mad men. He’s lucky he. I walked around the boutique, just enjoying wearing such lovely clothes. Iwalked right up to the closed front door. I kept a watch on the time; Iwanted to change in plenty of time. I walked to the rear of the boutiquetowards the change room. I had almost reached it when I heard the front dooropen.I heard Beverly call out, "My, don't you look pretty dear, what is yourname."I had frozen in my tracks, Mrs. Guthrie, Mrs. James and Christine reached me.I turned to them and said, "B..b..but. I want to share myself with you in more than just a sexual way, more than just the lifestyle too. I want to share all that I am with you. I trust you and I think you feel the same about me.”She didn’t know what to say. It was all too new to her, but she agreed that there was something special between them but she didn’t know how to proceed. She didn’t want to ruin it or have it end to soon. She knew she should say something to him so he would know she felt the same but didn’t really know what. When I slowed down slightly she thanked me and we ran the ten miles as if it were nothing.That Saturday we agreed to meet at the track early and go for the full twenty-six, just as a practice run. When I got there I had on a blue school T-shirt and my blue shorts while she had on a white school T-shirt and white shorts. Normally she wore a sports bra but not on that day.The weather was fine when we started but then it began to rain lightly. Soon it was raining harder. Shortly we were both.
