We had always been the underdogs and rarely won a game in any sport, while Catholic Central was the reigning division champion.But this time - they we...e Napoleon and he had just met his Waterloo!The coin toss won Central the first serve and as the rules specified, we couldn't block the serve, but Wendy was right under it, lifted it to me in one easy push and I spun and spiked it for our first point.Five seconds in and we were up 1 - 0! Just 24 more to go for the set!Annette served five times,. Her car was there and her husband was missing: good news. I approached her front door with my knees trembling and when I rang the bell nothing happened. I waited a minute and rang again: the waiting was killing me. After few moments I felt her presence behind the door and finally she opened. She was still in her pajama, white with small flowers, she had a wonderful smile and her eyes were shining blue in the morning light. I entered the door and smelled her coffee in the air. She let me in her. The house smelled slightly of something pleasant, like cherries, our favourite flavour of lube, and some kind of red meat. I couldn’t help but grin excitedly as I took off my shoes and jacket, then headed into the living room. We’d fooled around in every room of the house, and she often waited there for me to come in the garage door. When I walked into the room she wasn’t there, but the lights were low, and there were two glasses of wine, one with lipstick marks on it. I took the other and sat. It meant that Janet wanted something from her. As much as she did notwant to deal with Janet, she really did not want to fight this evening."We've never been that close, especially since I've been here atschool. It's always been obvious that you considered me to be somekind of burden." Well, we can fix that when you come home after your graduation," Janetsaid. "I'll be staying in town until you graduate and we can go hometogether."Sarah could see that she was not going to be able to avoid.
