A Teenager's Dreams


Dina and Luann were sitting across from each other at the kitchen table as I came through the screen door. Dina pulled a chair halfway out like she wanted me to sit there. I sat down but I felt a little weird because I could still hear Joe and Russ outside.

"So, how you've been, Will?" she asked.

"Pretty good, how about you?" I had seen her on Friday, but she was being sneaky. I really wanted Luann to leave so I could ask Dina about the pregnant thing. And I didn't have anything to do with my hands so I rocked my chair onto its back legs and held onto the table with my fingertips. From that far back, I could see her legs under the table. She was wearing sandals.
