    ... and that packet came for you.&#034 My mother pointed to the table. Big manila envelope. She grabbed her keys off the hook and left. I breathed a sigh of relief. &#034Haven't told her about banging Mr. Beautiful yet?&#034 &#034Gugh.&#034 &#034You might want to tell them, because your 'getting busy glow' is going to show.&#034 Bevvie started singing, a mash-up mix of tunes. &#034 'Your love is like a love song, ba-bay. Voulez-vous coucher avec moi? Voulez-vous with the cute-p*o. Hot down, summer in the city. Summer lovin' happened so fast.' &#034 &#034Shut up, Bevvie. Pretty soon you'll be singing the k**s' taunt K-I-S-S-I-N-G.&#034 &#034That's next on my list. Oh wait, let me think. 'I got a brand new pair of roller skates, you got a brand new key.' &#034 &#034You're gross, Bevvie. I didn't even know that song was about sex.&#034 &#034What about this one, 'Pull up to the bumper, ba-by.' &#034 I blinked. &#034What?&#034 she asked. I'd never heard the song, but all of a sudden I had a feeling it had a meaning she didn't realize. Like maybe it was one of Evan's favorites. &#034Nothing,&#034 I said. &#034So I'm guessing you haven't told your units about Jean-Luc.&#034 &#034Yeah, hell no. You're lucky I even told you.&#034 &#034You didn't tell me, I guessed.&#034 &#034Nosy snot,&#034 I mumbled under my breath. &#034What was that?&#034 &#034You do that a lot,&#034 I said. &#034So what's in the package?&#034 &#034Huh?&#034 Bevvie pointed to the envelope on the table. I looked at ...
    ... it. The return address was from Emory University. I ripped it open. It was a huge amount of info, but there was one thing I was scanning for. &#034I got into that new program,&#034 I said. &#034The freshman honors psychology path promise.&#034 &#034That's great.&#034 &#034Yeah, but it says here those students have to arrive three days before regular freshman orientation. That means they want me down there on August 18th.&#034 &#034That's like, two and half weeks from now.&#034 &#034I can't leave now, I'm just getting started.&#034 Bevvie looked at me. &#034I can't do the program. I can't.&#034 Bevvie rolled her lips into a thin line. She crossed her arms over her ample chest. &#034I'm not sure I can even go away. I'll apply to community college here. After a year I can—&#034 &#034You are so not going to throw your life away over a guy. Even if he is like, off the hot-o-meter.&#034 &#034I'm not—&#034 &#034Marce.&#034 I sighed. She was right. But shit. &#034Bevvie? What am I going to do?&#034 She raised one big shoulder in a jerky shrug. &#034You'll long distance it, I guess.&#034 &#034Jean-Luc isn't going to want to do that,&#034 I said. &#034You don't know that,&#034 she said. &#034You don't get it,&#034 I said. &#034He's not like...&#034 I let my sentence trail into nothing. I was going to say he's not like normal guys you meet in normal places. &#034He's not like what?&#034 &#034I don't know. Everyone knows long distance relationships don't work anyway.&#034 &#034Marcy,&#034 ...
