And, finally, after screwing his courage to the sticking point, he'd asked her for a date. She'd accepted! Actually, when he first spoke to her she'd laughed and walked off with her friends, but then right after school, he had found her sitting on the hood of his car. She told him she was sorry, that she'd actually thought him cute when they first met, but his inept approach had 'forced' her to rebuke him, lest her girlfriends think her 'easy'. Considering how she domineered her peer group, he thought it more likely that she only feared a loss of control, but didn't dare risk such a rebuke. He was in love... or lust, which was about the same to him at that age. "Well, aren't you going to drive me home?" she'd demanded. At last, he had thought to himself, a girl who takes the lead. As they talked, sitting in his car in front of her house, he discovered with delight and a certain relief that she did have a brain after all. The vast majority of the attractive girls, at least, seemed to believe that brains and education were anathema to becoming a model, which every one of them except Mandy seemed to want. She told him she was getting straight A's except in Home-Ec, which she loathed, and that she had already decided to become an investment broker! He asked her why she had no boyfriends, why she had picked him. |
