I thought maybe Alex wasn’t coming over. I asked her if she was fine and about Alex coming over. She said that she was and she was ok. I knew she wasn’t. It was like she wanted to tell me something but didn’t know how.The night came I got ready to go out and was half dressed when Alex walked in calling for Susan. I had my shirt on but no pants or briefs. She looked. ‘It is a Palad Khik, it is meant to bring fertility, good luck ingambling and most importantly, to protect from knives and bullets. It'scarved from buffalo horn. You should carry it with you to keep yousafe.’‘Thank you, Areeya. I will keep it with me all the time. It isbeautiful.’I kissed her once more as we heard Alex walk out onto the balcony. Shekissed us both, ‘Morning, my pets. Did Areeya give you her gift?’I showed it to Alex, who took it and stroked it. ‘It doesn't get anybigger if you. My parents are Catholic. They don’t attend mass, but they’re still Catholic.And so the summer passed, and the day I wasn’t ready for approached.And then it was there, and the car was packed, and we were ready to take off on our great college adventure.And I was a basket case.I did all right when we left my house. Chrissy came and packed me up first. But then Mr. C. and I helped her pack her stuff in the car, and it hit me that I was leaving, and he was staying, and there wasn’t going to be any.
