Lois was relieved Bobby wasn't in any of her classes the next day. She was having enough trouble trying to adjust to what had taken place with Doreen the previous afternoon. She vacillated between telling herself sleeping with Doreen was just as bad as sleeping with Bobby and thinking fondly of how wonderful it was and wondering if, somehow, she and Doreen would ever get together again. She'd never been so confused in her life.
Her husband, totally engrossed in preparing for the upcoming football season, had no idea his wife was upset, nor would his attitude toward her have been any different if he had known. He was too busy getting ready for football season, he didn't have time for women's problems.
After lunch, Bobby was walking down the hall from the cafeteria. He had study halls the next two periods. Coming in the other direction was Kim Grasso, the girl who'd introduced him to Paula. Kim looked good. The young woman had a compact, but lush body and always dressed well. Today was no exception. She had on a pink outfit that consisted of a fairly loose top held tight around her trim waist with a drawstring and a snug-fitting pink mini-skirt that left most of her lovely legs bare.
"Hi, Bobby," she said, licking her lips and smiling seductively.
"Hi, Kim," Bobby said.
"I haven't seen you in a while," Kim said, her eyes flashing.
Bobby immediately saw the invitation in his classmate's eyes and felt his body reacting. "Ah...well, I...I've been, you know, busy," he replied.
Kim grinned. "I know. I heard you and Paula were getting to be an item," she said. "What are you doing now that she's back in school?"
"Ah...well," Bobby stammered.
"You busy this period?" Kim asked.
"No, why?" Bobby replied.
Kim flashed him an alluring smile. "Well...I'm in the photography club and I have to do some work in the darkroom and..." she left her sentence unfinished.
Bobby knew what she wanted, mainly because he wanted it too. "I'll see if I can get a pass," he said.
"I'll be in the darkroom," Kim said, and started down the hall.
Bobby had no trouble getting a pass from the bored teacher monitoring study hall and was on his way to the photo lab a few minutes later.
Kim was waiting in the outer office of the photography club lab when Bobby arrived. "I've got to develop some pictures," she said. "Want to come in the darkroom with me?"
Bobby smiled. "Sure," he said. Being alone in the darkroom with Kim was an opportunity most of the guys in school would kill for.
