"Is everything okay at school?"I bite my lip and a tear forms. My voice is hollow. "Not really. Year twelve is-" I think a moment. "Intense."The lady ...ods. "It is a big step up. My son said the same." Is he at Woodridge too?" No. Oasis, but he's in his first year of uni now."Nodding hurts less. "I nearly went to Oasis, but Woodridge is closer." I sigh. "Maybe if I had, I wouldn't be here." Are the kids bullying you?" No," I shoot back. "Well, sort of. It's my own fault."She soothes my temple. We’ve found that women are less upset when presented with a non-threatening image, and this one’s always worked for me. Besides, I have a thing for chickens. I’m pretty lovable, though, wouldn’t you say? You don’t feel threatened in the least, do you?’ ‘No. No, I don’t.

You'd need a passport, obviously but I can definitely guarantee your leave request will be approved." How much would it cost?" Absolutely nothing, Jojo. It's all paid for anyway; I'd lose the money if. You are the greatest. Well, I best get going if I am going to meet up with my new friends." I love you Tina." I love you too babe. Goodnight."I watched the last video again and then fell asleep dreaming about black cocks fucking Tina. I was not sleeping very well and so I heard the new message sound on my phone when the next e-Mail came in. I glanced at the clock and it was after midnight St. Paul time.I came wide awake and picked up my phone to check. It was another one of the black guys I had.
