Janet
didn’t notice it at first. It came to her slowly.
Some
kids merely whispered behind her back as she past, others stared at her with
stunned expressions on their faces, but a few came up to her beaming for no
other reason than to say hello…at least that’s what they told her. She
suspected they just wanted to see if she and Wes were really going out. High school kids can be so nosy! But then...so were adults. Evidence of that was the school nurse winking at her and Wes.
Perhaps her mother was right, Janet mused. She often heard Wendy say, "High school never ends!" Now she understood.
Janet tried
not to laugh at them, but that was her favorite part of high school, getting to
laugh at her fellow students and even some teachers plus all the silly things they do.
