Tuesday morning did come too soon. I really didn't want to get up, but I shaved and got dressed, and went out to meet Jenny. She was waiting for me, and we headed out. As we ran, I said a little more about my discussion with Wilma. I told her how hard pretty much everything the day before, at least the afternoon, had hit me, emotionally, and thanked her for having gone to Wilma, back before Jenny herself and I had reconnected.
"I'm kind of surprised, and really sorry, that it took her so long to think it through and talk to you," Jenny said. "But I guess I shouldn't be. You knew, and I knew, that you hadn't meant what she thought you had, but it had hurt her so much at the time, and ever since."
"I'm sorry, too, but I understand perfectly well why it took so long to think it through and change her thinking. And then, well, I don't know whether you were hanging back or you heard, once she decided she needed to talk to me, there wasn't much opportunity, and my valkyries—that's her word choice!—were always around me, and you intimidated her. She said if anyone else had been with us yesterday she would have chickened out, and probably she would have anyway if she hadn't been so worried about getting ragged on in the showers. That made it feel urgent to her."
"You know, somehow we haven't been very effective in intimidating anyone else, it seems."
"She did say—well, I took her to mean that no one was getting taunted in the showers last night. I'm glad about that, if that's right."
"It is. I heard you say you didn't want to know who was behind it, so I won't say, but something seemed to be wrong with the ringleader. A good thing, too, I think.
"And are you going to tell me what was going on with Brown?"
"'Fraid not. It was something really, really bad, and I'm kind of sorry I know about it myself. Except that I was shoved into the position to find out about it in a way that let me help Maggie when she desperately needed it. Both providing comfort and some other help, which was uncomfortable but necessary. If we're all lucky, at some point you'll probably know. But thank you for being understanding."
"Well, it was obvious that something was going on. For you of all people to get called in for sassing Ms. Miller, anyone who knows you and most everyone else too should be able to know that was bogus. And so many people made rude remarks about her last week, singling Brown out seems pretty fishy. But go ahead and be mysterious! See if I care!" She smiled and took my arm for a moment to make sure I knew she was teasing.
We eventually went back in to shower, and the rest of the day seemed pretty normal. I managed to get caught up on studying, or close enough. Instead of studying biology, though, Jenny and I went off to lift weights. With everything else, I'd been slacking off on that—and she had too—and I'm sorry to say it was pretty sporadic for the rest of the year. I occasionally tried to get back into doing it regularly, but there was just too much else to do.
So Tuesday left me not getting any of the sexual activity I was beginning to expect on a daily basis.
The rest of the week went normally—if there was such a thing any more. After all, the game was new, visitation in each others' wings was new, not getting scolded or worse for displaying affection in public—at least, as long as it wasn't too extreme—was new. And of course we had the game Thursday in gym.
But Jenny and I got up to run, we went to classes as usual and studied for them as usual—together, which was still pretty new. I caught my partners in gym, and Jenny evaded hers. I took turns with the forfeits. The girls and I studied biology a reasonable amount—reasonable for me, not necessarily for any one of them. We were all caught up, and doing a better job than usual at pleasing our instructors.
In fact, we were caught up enough that Friday night and the visitation hours of Saturday were pretty much devoted to studying biology and not much more. We all knew what the next week was bringing, and wanted what we could manage beforehand. Of course, I was the limiting factor.
Sunday morning Jenny and I ran, as usual, but nothing else seemed normal. It's strange how quickly our expectations can change, sometimes. After all, we had only been having the game in gym for two weeks, but it felt like a lot longer. And it had brought a lot of changes with it! Jenny and I had reconnected, I was running with her and studying with her and the other girls instead of by myself, and I had several new friends and deeper friendships.
