“Oh. Okay.” I [Carl] tried not to let disappointment overwhelm me.
Dre was Chester’s boyfriend. They were both sophomores in college. Turned out, Dre lived an hour away from our house. I actually liked this one. He had a brain and wasn’t too flashy a dresser. The sight of rhinestones and fuchsia tended to give me palpitations, and I had already experienced that with a previous boyfriend. Thankfully, Dre leaned toward more sober attire, if you didn’t count the eyeliner and multiple piercings on his ear lobes. I was very grateful.
