"I swear! I told him we hooked up! Yes, he jerked off! I swear!" she exclaimed. Then she noticed she was being filmed. "Oh my god, don't! Don't send t...at to him!"The caption on the snapchat was just "Dude..."I couldn't believe it. I didn't respond to him. I didn't know how to respond. I was so embarrassed. One of my best friends now knows that I got off to the idea of him fucking the girl that I've been in love with. And then my dick got hard. I couldn't jerk myself off again, my feelings were. He probably wants usto go gay and then sword fight with our dicks." Why would gay people do that?" I don't know. They're gay. A lot of what they doesn't make much sense.Point is, I'm not buying into his man to woman shit." Say that now, but I really don't want to fuck you man." Me neither, so stop bringing it up." I mean..." Just shut up Grant. No more talking until we've got a plan to get out ofhere." With that, the two looked down at the floor in bitter silence. Thenext ten minutes slowly. Then on the day after we changed our clocks back I had reason to stop at the sales office. It was before 5, I had left work early, but it was dark already. That morning I saw construction temporary dumpsters were filling and overflowing at the end of my block. Now they were overflowing so I made a u-turn to the office to complain of the eyesore, wind and passing cars were splaying the stuff around.Marianne was there and seemed to be real happy to see me (for once) as I explained the mess they. 'Geometry. Marks. Why?' 'I thought so. You have a sub today, so I was wondering if I could take you out for your birthday.' 'Sounds good. When?''Next period. Duh. No one would notice you're gone. It'll be fun.' He tapped Hannah and showed her, then same with Elle. "I can cover you, if you want to go," she told him. She was in his geometry class. "I mean, it's your birthday, after all." He smiled at her. 'Sounds great.' He pressed send. 'Meet me at my locker after this period.' He put his phone.
