Hey,” he started to ask as an afterthought, “how are things with the cheerleader?”
I looked at Cindy. XXX It’s romantic, you two can cuddle, then afterward, you take her out to a restaurant. “Tanya and Brent, sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g.” We both looked over and saw Becky Peterson, another of the schools most popular people, singing the little ditty. That’s when, with a big grin on my face, I pulled the magical key from my pocket. “I love you,” whispered Tanya, “I love you with all my heart.”
I knew I had done it, I gave Tanya the most memorable, most romantic night of her life. “Brent, has she said she loves you?” Cindy put her hand on mine trying to comfort me from what she anticipated was going to be a negative response.
