Due to an early divorce, Jason had grown up without a father, and somehow his mother had never graced him with any dating skills.Due to an early divorce, Jason had grown up without a father, and somehow his mother had never graced him with any dating skills. After two years of unsuccessful attempts at conversation with empty-headed Madonnawannabes, and a few aborted dates, he overheard a conversation between his chemistry teacher and Mandy Rafool. She was discussing the relationship between what she had learned in physics class to the current discussion of valences in chemistry. He would never have imagined! He had seen her around for quite awhile and like every other guy in school had been fascinated with her pretty face, tight jeans and sweaters, and astonishingly mature body. And like every other guy in school, he had noticed that she was conspicuously without a boyfriend. But he'd assumed from her good looks and her retinue of bimbettes that she was yet another bimbo herself. She was two years older than he, a senior, a cheerleader and she seemed like a daddy's-little-girl type who never lacked for anything, yet he had fallen hard, and he resolved to win her heart. For the next six months he secretly bought all the magazines the girls at school seemed to worship, and studied. In Seventeen, he learned how a 'real cool dude' walked, talked, and dressed. In Young Model, he read about the things every teenage girl supposedly wanted in a boyfriend. |
