IT

I promise it is coming but here is a story while you wait…it is what inspired me to finally write the adventures of Sand and Sun.

Scenario:
I- high school junior, Americanized but classy and smart European girl, concerned with everything from looks to grades; also my cadet teacher.

T-typical American high school freshman boy, family heritage Indian, (he told me his mom was a nurse and that his dad works at 7-11, but I know the latter is false) also concerned with grades but also in it to have fun, with the help if an “upperclassman”.

A day in their life during Spanish class.

T-Señorita Hokanson, I left something in my locker can I go get it? I can go with me if you want, I promise I just need my book.

I-Eeew!

T-Come on Señorita please…

Señorita-Fine, take I
(do I like to encourage these high school crushes? Just wait until you see my part in the Sand and Sun story)

T-Come on I (taking her by the hand) lets go.

I- What? (going without much resistance) Why do I have to go?...you don’t need to hold my hand…

Later I and T return to class...still holding hands.

I-Thank goodness THAT is over, he held my hand the whole way, even when he was getting his book out of his locker, what if someone saw us, a junior can’t be seen with a freshman!

So I have a table and chair next to my desk for I, my cadet teacher. On this same day the students were working independently on a project T decided to sit by I and did so by pushing her over to sit by her on the chair. They were working this way for sometime before there was any further conversation.

T- Señorita I am finished with my book, what should I do?

Señorita- Why don’t you make a dedication in the front?

T- That is a good idea, I will dedicate it to I.

I- No, don’t do that, leave me alone, why are you sitting by me?

T- (ignoring this while writing in his book) “A I, mia amor”

I- That is not right, it is “amor mia”
