The Best Friend
“After getting used to seeing her on Thursdays to break up his weeks, since not much else broke them up, nothing even half as interesting as Gretchen Hendricks ever happened during the rest of the week. But she, good to her word, never drove him to therapy again. He hit his mother up, who gladly took him to his counseling appointments. Leila became almost giddy over his involvement in anything that was positive and could pry him out of the basement. He asked his mother to drop him off a little b...it early so he could be there when Gretchen walked into the lobby with Olivia. He wanted to see Olivia. She was a kick in the pants, who now revered him even more after his performance at her school assembly. She became a little queen for a few days afterwards. Seeing her enhanced his week, and therefore, his life, because Thursdays were really the only thing he looked forward to or cared about. Gretchen dutifully nodded a polite hello his way, and that was it. More than once, he intended to go to her office and apologize, or say something, or do something.MoreLess
