“Your mom went in early to cover for one of the girls. You want to go out for tacos?” “Yeah, okay, but I’m not hungry yet.” “Let me know w...en you are.” I went to my room and turned on my computer, going directly to Tyler McGurn’s page on Facebook. He’s this jock I have a huge crush on and the most popular boy in my class. He also goes with this ditz whose biggest ambition in life is to be Homecoming Queen. Her name is Shelley and she’s in P.E. with me and she had the nerve to say to me one day. As I fell to the ground I felt another pain, this time exploding on my left side. As I lay there on the ground, writhing in pain and gasping for air, I could see his boot inches from my face. He hooked a toe under my midsection and rolled me over onto my back. I lay there helpless like a boned fish, my kidneys screaming in pain. The setting sun was behind him as he stood over me, and I could hear his voice but I couldn’t see his face for the brilliant glare. Make no mistake about it, he was one. She dances merrily enough too with most of my men. Why not with me? Think you she fears me?’ He asked in a sorrowful tone. Maisry laughed at this. ‘Nay, she fears you not. Mayhap she dances without care with others for the natural reason. She cares not for them, has no tenderness to hide.’ ‘In my dreams would Lilac care for me! She takes notice of me less than of Father Talbot. If I did see any tenderness in her, I would…’ ‘You would what, my lord? Use it to get her in your bed and send her to. Couldn't do it. I couldn't even bring it up in my imagination.Usually, that was fine with me, now, it made me feel even worse...how much of a weirdo could I possibly be?Al and Rosalie had a nice little pool right off their patio. It was all fenced so the neighbors couldn't see much. They were out there butt-naked all the time. I was so frazzled, I was happy to have a drink with some gin and lemonade and ice, smoke some of Rosalie's pot, and jump all nakey in the pool.I was out there sunning.
