Almost Perfect (2009)
“The town council erected the faded Nativity in Vets park, political correctness be damned. The first week of December, I made nearly three hundred dollars shoveling walks when we got a foot of snow. I turned half of it over to Mom and saved the rest for gift shopping.
The football season ended with a surprising victory over Higbee, leaving Boyer with a 2–8 record. Tim and Dawn continued to be seen together.
December marked the time when I shucked my self-destructive obsession with Brenda for a ...self-destructive obsession with Sage. I still spent every morning hanging out in the lobby, but now Sage joined me, snacking on vending machine food and making fun of the other students. We’d walk to bio together and spend the whole hour giggling and poking each other under the table. Mr. Elmer threatened to separate us more than once, but he never did.
Sage had a different lunch hour, but we’d run into each other between classes. I’d find little notes in my locker, pink stationery covered with smiley face stickers, wishing me a good day.MoreLess
