Amber never let me go home alone, and she wouldn’t let me drink when we hung out.
When she got drunk, she would have a close friend send me home.
They were all very gentlemanly and more real than Dexter’s well–dressed friends.
I finally understood that birds of a feather really flocked together.
In Dexter’s eyes, I was dirty, so his friends thought it was okay to touch me casually..
In contrast, Amber treated me like a sister, and her friends treated me nicely.
There was an unexpected event. A boy said he liked me
From the moment he first saw me, he liked me.
Amber winked at me and pulled me aside to whisper to me, “Eric is a good kid. He has never dated since I’ve known him, and he doesn’t fool around when we go out.
“If you like him, you can give it a try. But girls should try to avoid dating early.”
