- Drew
squinted across the hall at the poster on the wall. Checklist
For Girls For Homecoming.
He rolled his eyes; why should
the girl be the one to have to worry
about all that shit?
- Stephanie
attended the regional school across the county. She was never that
close to Drew or Theresa in the beginning. Drew awkwardly tried to
make out with her at a party once before she politely informed him
that she was much more interested in making out
with his female
companions.
- A
few weeks later Theresa and Drew were watching a movie in his room
when the phone rang. It was Amber, who was barely comprehendable
between screams and tears.
- Drew
and Stephanie had photography together. They barely spoke. For
once, Drew just kept his mouth shut and did not blurt out any number
of random forms of bullshit.
- Drew and Theresa had a bad falling
out with Amber and fell in love with each other.
- Drew started
laughing until the glare Theresa gave him made him realize this was
not funny.
- Theresa kept her
distance; she hated the way Amber allowed herself to be treated like
a trophy girlfriend for boys in bands who claimed to be feminists to
get their dicks sucked.
- Junior prom was the night that
Theresa and Drew got together.
- Theresa was waiting for Drew on campus
the morning after the towers fell.
- Drew
and Theresa
lay on his bed staring up at the ceiling.
- Neither
Drew or Theresa enjoyed making love.
- Under the cover of the
trees Theresa
sat waiting for him.
