Tuesday morning was beautiful. Jenny and I ran together and talked, keeping it low and cutting off whenever we passed anyone or were passed, closely. The course was wide enough that people often passed at a safe distance. I thought there were more people out than usual, by a third or so. Mostly Jenny talked and I listened, which meant she got a much better workout than I did. We had to slow down enough that she had breath for extended conversation. But I thought that I'd been slightly wrong, that we were better matched than I'd realized.
What Jenny had to say about my questions was that no, she wasn't looking for serious romance, but a good friend and yes, studying biology whenever we could manage time and opportunity. I really had been worried. If I were looking for something more than friendship, Jenny would have been high on the list, but Claire would have been, too. And maybe others I'd just never thought of that way and didn't know well enough. I hoped she was being honest with me about this. I cared a lot for her, more than I had realized, and for sure didn't want her to get hurt. I'd already found out that sex could make me feel affection, if it was a girl I was a little fond of already.
And Barbara had showed that it didn't take even that. She was pretty enough, and in a way straightforward in dealing with everyone, no hidden agendas or anything, but she was standoffish enough that I'd never seen her as attractive. Had there been three other attractive forfeits out there, I'd never have gotten around to her. But having done so, I felt differently toward her, and she sure did toward me. I was sure she wasn't expecting more than friendship, but I was glad to have that.
Jenny said suddenly, "Phil, tomorrow in gym. If you catch your partner, and I don't forfeit, would you let me watch you with whomever? Assuming some girls do forfeit?"
"I don't know. For me, fine, if it's OK for you. But think about it a moment. Some of them are going to feel humiliated at having to spread their legs out for all comers, or I'd imagine so. Having spectators may be really hard. Having you come with me and watch may be worse. I'd suggest maybe just kind of coming along separately. Mr. Miles did say spectators were expected, and think of what Ms. Miller went through, so I guess so." At this point I was the one getting a harder workout, trying to talk while we ran. And I was having to think as I talked and ran, too.
We finished and went in. I showered and got dressed. I worked on a class assignment until time for breakfast. When I'd collected my food, Jenny wasn't there yet, and I sat down with another friend, Jim Dandy. Of course, despite all the classes we had, gym class was what we were talking about, and conversations I could hear at other tables were all the same. I saw Jenny come in and collect food, hesitate, and then head our way. She greeted both of us, and we continued our conversation, filling in context for her as needed. The cafeteria wasn't as full as usual. I thought maybe a few people were skipping breakfast, but mostly people were coming in, eating fast, and leaving, so that about as many as usual were eating, just not all together.
Jenny had heard in the shower that Ms. Miller had been telling me off, and asked what it was about. I said I didn't want to go into much detail, but she felt I'd taken advantage of her and then sassed her about it. Jim asked about how sex with her had been, and I answered honestly: I'd wanted a turn pretty badly, and it had been very disappointing, but I didn't think it was her, just the circumstances. I described the stickiness and the smell. I said how I thought she'd been so stretched out by all the pounding that she wasn't tight enough, no muscle tone left, and mentioned that I'd already had sex not only with my partner but also with all the other forfeits. I asked him not to mention that part to anyone else. I wasn't really worried. Jim liked to act, well, a little goofy, but he wasn't given to gossip at all.
We didn't really linger, though. People were still trickling in and out as we left. I used the rest of breakfast and the short study time to good advantage, finding I was able to get everything for that day done, if not as well as I'd have liked, and hurried off to math. We were preparing for a test in a couple of days.
My second class was history. I sat by Jenny, and Fred Fellows sat on the other side of me. Mr. Henley didn't really cut us any slack, and I was glad my paper was in shape to hand in. Several people weren't ready, and he made pointed remarks about not waiting for the last minute on our assignments since unexpected things might happen. In this case, that was reasonable, since the paper had been assigned a week earlier. I myself had only had to run my last revisions through spell check and print it.
By the time gym came, I'd heard more on this theme from other teachers. I'd used every minute I had. Even the couple of minutes left between classes, after I'd gotten to my next class.
