It was officially summer. Eddie was going to be a senior this year, he was almost free. 1986 would be his year. And it was blistering hot. 98 degrees with no clouds in sight. And no proper ac in his trailer.

But the pool was open. And he had nothing better to do. Hopefully he wouldn’t be hounded on how “satanic” he is this time.

He went in, and they weren’t as busy as he thought they would be. There were a few familiar faces. Some faces, then you. He pined over you in school hard.
