Tiger Threat (2006)
“The bad news was that one of my bottom front teeth had snapped. Dental surgery was scheduled for the next morning, when Dr. Dempster had some staff who could assist him.
In the meantime, Dr. Dempster had given me some powerful painkillers. I wished, though, that the painkillers also worked as sleeping pills.
It was 2:00 AM, and all I could do was stare at the ceiling and try not to think.
Ever done that? The more you tell yourself not to think about something, the more you think about it.
I tol...d myself not to think about Amanda. That made me see her long black hair against the light blue sweater and her beautiful smile. Made me wonder if she would ever go on a date with me instead of helping me with math. Of course, to find out, I’d have to ask her. But I was too afraid she might say no.
Thinking about her made me think about the capsule in the tooth. I didn’t want to think about that either, because it seemed it might be a dangerous secret, and danger was not high on my list of things to enjoy.MoreLess
