The pecking order changed for us as adults. The things that were important in high school and college no longer mattered as much.Nowhere was that as o...vious as with Dean. He graduated with a GCD, basically a general college degree. He became a salesman. I, on the other hand, had spent four years as a manufacturing engineer in the nearby auto plant. Dean and I had taken different paths and it began to show.One of the funny things about our situation was the fact that a large group of us had. Long auburn curls streamed down her back. Large, almost surprised eyes nestled above striking cheekbones, a pert nose and petulant lips. All her features were much more petite. Were she not four inches too short, she could have been a model. She was gorgeous even without makeup and I was jealous. Again, of course, she was dizzy when first awakening.For all intents and purposes, I could not understand why she would need another treatment. Her hair, now lush as could be, was completely restored. " I've got a beach by my place," Heather said. "Why don't you come on down, and we can both go for a swim and open a cold one, while you tell me all about it." That may be the best invitation I've had all month," Pam replied, a lot of the tiredness going away. "Where are you at? I'll change, then drive down and meet you." I'll drive," Heather offered. "That way we can talk on the way."Pam was back in a couple of minutes, wearing a T-shirt over a swimsuit, carrying a towel. Heather stopped along. I can’t do this, can I?” I questioned myself. I had just turned eighteen and got my first job. Already I was playing with fire as I stood outside his house. I knew he was gay but I was just so polite not to turn down his request to watch a few movies at his house. He had already explained his interest in me, but still I was here knocking on his door. My short brown hair was gelled up, as if it was a date but then again when someone invites you, you want to look your best. My skinny frame was.
