For a little…show. Got it?”Ana nodded fearfully.“Fantastic,” the boy said, walking past her and pinching her but as he did. Ana bit her lip to... keep from crying, and opened the door to her classroom.Language arts and math went by too quickly. Soon Ana was on her way to the gym. When she got there, a coach gave her a gym uniform—ugly orange shorts and a maroon polo shirt—and directed her to the locker room. Suddenly someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the boy’s room.“So nice to see you. She’s still upstairs getting ready. Your dress is beautiful and so is the one you bought Wishes, clever move love.”“Wishes said you talked today and that I knew about you both.” Alhana tried to look stern but the corners of her mouth kept twitching so I knew she wasn’t really angry with me.“I’m sorry Alhana, but Wishes was so worried that you would be angry with her, I couldn’t let her worry about it all day.”“I know darling and I think it’s sweet that you worry about her so much. You didn’t. She thought he must be away and it troubled her, for now her gambit for the forest path became a foolish risk that may cost her dearly. The full weight of her mother’s bodements condemned her folly.There was no time to linger on it.

She proceeded on the path at a hastened pace and her heart grew more anxious as the sky got darker. Smith brought me into the kitchen. He took the lasagna and put it into the refrigerator. We both walked into the living room together. “How about we talk a little while? Afterwards, I can warm up the lasagna for you." “That would be great. Would you like a drink?" “That's not necessary. But, thank you." We both took a seat in the living room. I was planning to tell him my idea eventually. I wasn’t sure what he’d think. I knew he must be kind of lonely. I didn't think he had dated since his wife.
