Young Blood



# 1

Behind me, a love story is unfolding.

A boy and a girl are meeting each other for the first time. They are both scholars. They're obviously freshmen: they have the eager, awkward air of very young teenagers who don't know why they are where they are. Today, they are volunteering to man phones for our AAASA phonathon.

The girl is more aggressive than the boy. She asks him for his number. The boy blushes, stammering, "but what would you need my number for?"

Lately my dreams have been full of wolves, minefields, old houses and peach trees. Friends appear in most of them: some of them are transformed by the end of the dreams, else they age backwards and fly.

Then there are the knives.

Gawd, that's so wrong! The girl should've invented a more plausible excuse to get the boy's number! Coz the boy sounded as if he was about to run away and die. Hahaha! Tell her Ginny! Tell her!
