After tossing balls around the yard the three young men followed the crowd down to the basement. Michael played the little brother and fell into the r...mbling conversation surrounding Ashley and Acton. He nursed a Sprite with a few chunks of fruit he had fished from the dregs in the over-sized jar of vodka-fruit punch. He was caught up in the vibrant conversation and alcoholic humour until Lauren snagged him. She drew him into a corner where a few Arthur Curry School alumni sat catching up. Vimy. All around us, everyone began to sit down and a middle-aged man in a suit hushed the crowd. ‘Everyone quiet down. It is with the utmost honor that I am able to introduce to all of you the newlyweds! Let’s give a round of applause for the lovebirds!’ I leaned towards Hayden and whispered, ‘Dude, where’s Joanna? She’s missing everything.’ Before he could even answer me, she appeared on stage with her arm wrapped around a guy. I didn’t understand…why was she up there? He had a full-on tuxedo while. I certainly wouldn't blab!The year I began high school, Rachel and Jenny (who had been exceptionally close to me in grade school) got panicky, but never revealed what we did at home. I was only going to be separated from them for six hours per weekday.In phys. ed. class, I finally learned about sperm, sex, and the mechanism of pregnancy. (I told you - the parents should never have had kids!) Unofficially, when pressed for an answer, the gym teacher let on that we could be pretty sure we could. Obviously all these things he said, he said when my parents weren’t in the room.Anyway one weekend my parents went away then Geoff happened to turn up and I’m sure he knew my parents wouldn't be there but I didn't say anything, I invited him in for a drink and after he finished he said he better head home seems my parents weren't there but I took the plunge and asked him if he'd like to stay anyway, "we could invite my uncle round and we'll have a few drinks" I suggested. That sounds great he.
