Do I stare back? No, I have crazy eyes. I have no idea how to do this. Guys are easy, you just show literally any interest and they get the hint, most...of the time. When they don’t it becomes more complicated, but whatever. Any guy I’ve ever wanted to be with, I just went for it. Girls were ... different. It’s more complex. The flirtation is friendly, smiling, touching, but can pretty easily be misinterpreted as just normal conversation. Or, if you get yourself a crush on a straight girl; watch. After getting off the bus, I invited Cindy to come over on Saturday to swim and hang around. She said she'd ask her mom and we separated, her going toward her house and I to mine.That night, Dad and Eddie went to the store after dinner and left Mom and I to do the dishes. While we stood at the sink, I asked her about what I had seen in the locker room."Mom, why would a girl shave down there?"

I opened the door of the bathroom and immediately heard the twoof them talking to their daughter as ordinary parents would. I listenedfor a moment. I never wanted it to stop. And I knew that Jack certainlydidn't. I sighed and left the bathroom."Are we ready for round three?" I asked as I walked back into thekitchen.They both looked up at me with completely different expressions. Jacklooked anxious and Claudia looked. It took almost an hour before all of my guests had departed. I looked around and found Clara waiting for me in my porch swing. I was glad to see that she was still here and joined her in the swing."Would you care for something other than water, soft drinks, and juice to drink?" No thanks Jon. I think I need to keep my wits about me today." Well, I think I should give you a more thorough description of the Ark and the Ark Foundation." That would be nice, but it's not necessary.
