" "Listen, Taysha, I gotta go. But youcall me tonight after you ring Tony, K?" Wait a second..." Bye..."--------------------------Taysha--------------...--------------I rushed home after school. I wondered if Rob knewof our little problem with Mr. Lawrence. I had tocall him just in case. I rushed to the phone andquickly called my old number."Hello..." my voice answered sweetly on the line."Rob...it's me!," I said breathlessly."Taysha...that's...thank God you called!" What's going on Rob?" Nothing. "Beth went back to her own work while I tried to follow her instruction.After about five minutes I actually had an answer."Is this right?" I showed her my work.She studied it. "Yes, Jenny. That's excellent. Now do the next one."It took a while, but I finished the worksheet. Beth checked it over.There were one or two mistakes. She wouldn't tell me the right answers.She just made me do them over. Maybe it was spending time with Beth ormaybe it was my understanding the problems, probably both; but. “We didn’t say anything about putting your tops back on” Darryl said.Megan looked at me in alarm “Jake!”I leaned back in my chair and shrugged. “You don’t need me to watch over you Megs, you just said so. Besides you wanted to hang out so bad you’d do anything. Now not only are you hanging out, you have the entire room’s attention.”Darryl took Megan’s hand and led her over to where him and Sam were sitting. Sam handed her a beer which she hesitantly took, then took a big swig for liquid. We were finished with one lap of the parking lot when the cold rain started. “Car?” I shouted to her.“Wimp,” TA shouted.“So I did the next to laps wet and cold. Her Jacket was obviously water proof. She turned on the morning weather before we left the motel I was sure. I hadn’t seen the clouds when we left the room.When we finished I went into my room immediately and stripped off my clothes. I got into the hot shower to try to stop my teeth chattering.I barely made it out and into a clean pair.
