My mom offered me food the minute I walked in the door as usual, but I told her I already ate with the guys. My dad was reading the newspaper and mumb...led something about assholes in the government. So I went upstairs to my room, took off my smelly school cloths and in nothing but my boxers I went to go hop in the shower. In the hallway I wasn't looking and walked into my sister as she was exiting her room. She looked scared and in a rush as she bumped into me, I didn't budge on impact but she. He was not a boy, he was intelligent, he didn't see just her body, he saw more in her, he had shared his thoughts and ideas with her, she had shared hers, she had confessed that she was still a virgin. That she was in fact afraid of having sex. Just the whole idea scared her, she could talk dirty with the other girls, but she could not imagine having someone invade her body.She would blow her friends off with an excuse that she had to help her mother or that she had to study and then she would. Charlene said that he would stay with her and Seth that night. By now Jay and Valerie had shown up. Valerie ran to join Charlene and Sylvia, forming a protective ring around the guy. The girls gathered Nate in a cocoon and started out the door. I asked Carl what the signal meant. “Sylvia has good instincts. Right now this is best dealt with by Nate’s peers. I’ll get involved if necessary.” I started out the door with Jay and Seth; we caught up with the girls and Nate near our dorm. We all went. . ?"Then I think I'd be very happy." Good! Now ... didn't you say something about servicing the Panther?" Aye. I'd say a full morning on that." Well, there's a literacy conference at Uni for teachers and teaching students, and Jasmine and I are going. So we'll be out of the house most of the day and we'll eat at Uni. So we'll see you this evening, okay?"I was about half-way through what the old bike needed, thinking seriously about a caffeine fix, when there came a knocking at the garage door..
