.. that’s just gross.”“I don’t know, Anne,” Gia chimed in. “He is kinda hunky. You mean to tell me you never thought about him like that?�...��“Nooo! No way!” Anne protested. And then there was a pause, followed by a short period of whispering that Steve couldn’t hear. And then raucous laughter once again.“I knew it!” Sara exclaimed. “He is just too cute not to think about. You guys dare me to show you what I would do with him?”“I dare you!” Gia encouraged on the other side of the door. “Mmmmmm,. Are you okay?”“Of course, I’m okay,” she answered. “Why would you think that I wasn’t.”“Ma’am, please go back and stand by our car while we speak with your passenger”. The agent took Rockie’s arm, turned her in the direction of their vehicle and then urged her forward. She looked back at JR as she slowly walked towards the Border Patrol SUV and he could see tears starting to roll down her cheeks. This was getting ridiculous. Then he realized the truth.“Officer, what is going on here?” he asked. "We'd be alone. Your brother and sister will be getting home soon and bother us."My middle school brother was a pain. Chelsea's parents worked and her older sister was away at college so her house would be empty."It'll be okay?" I asked."Sure," she said then I could see her mind thinking. "Maybe it's best if you were gone by six so my parents don't get freaked out and think something was going on." We only have to study an hour," I reminded her."Yeah, but we might lose track of time."Lose track. 30am a halt was called for coffee. I stood up adjusted my dress and walked over to the refreshment table. A pretty young girl said hi and joked about how easy the course had been so far. We chatted a for while. I wasn’t sure if they all new or just some of them. But it didn’t seem to matter to them I was amongst women and presenting as one of them. The rest of the week went on pretty much like this and the group of ten girls, including me, all got on well and we would all have a giggle.
