Chapter 22 - On A Date

• It had been two weeks since I left home. My new relationship with Zane was developing amazingly well. Every day, we woke each other up, texted during lunch, and had long conversations on the phone in the evenings. I now knew him much better, I'd learned new things about him and could judge his character better. Last night, he told me about his first crush, a dazzlingly wealthy fellow student who loathed him because he belonged to the middle class at that time. His father was working hard to set up a company while his mother was employed by the government.
• The girl was blonde and leggy, the ideal type every boy dreamed of. When he asked her to the prom, she insulted him in front of all the students. Loudly, she exclaimed that she couldn't believe a middle-class boy would dare ask her out and mocked whether he could even afford to buy enough fuel for his old truck. Her expensive designer dress certainly wasn't going to get dirty from the mediocre interior of his clunker.
• In shame, he had run away while all the men around her made fun of him. Until a girl named Marlin, a black-haired diva from the school, found him on the sports field where he was recovering from his humiliation. Marlin was the dream of almost all college boys; she was breathtakingly beautiful, and her curvaceous backside attracted quite a lot of attention. Her pitch-black hair fell like silk down her back. Many young men had tried in vain to ask her out on a date. It soon became known that she did not date or engage in serious relationships.
