There
are
people
who
like
classical
music
.
People
who
like
pop
.
There
are
city
people
.
And
country
people
.
Coke
drinkers
.
Pepsi
drinkers
.
There
are
conformists
and
free
-
thinkers
.
Virgins
and
nonvirgins
.
And
there
are
the
kind
of
girls
who
have
boyfriends
in
high
school
,
and
the
kind
of
girls
who
don
t
.

Kim
and
I
had
always
assumed
that
we
both
belonged
to
the
latter
category
.
"
Not
that
we
ll
be
forty
-
year
-
old
virgins
or
anything
,
"
she
reassured
.
"
We
ll
just
be
the
kinds
of
girls
who
have
boyfriends
in
college
.
"
553
That
always
made
sense
to
me
,
seemed
preferable
even
.
Mom
was
the
sort
of
girl
who
had
had
boyfriends
in
high
school
and
often
remarked
that
she
wished
she
hadn
t
wasted
her
time
.
"
There
s
only
so
many
times
a
girl
wants
to
get
drunk
on
Mickey
s
Big
Mouth
,
go
cow
-
tipping
,
and
make
out
in
back
of
a
pickup
truck
.
As
far
as
the
boys
I
dated
were
concerned
,
that
amounted
to
a
romantic
evening
.

Dad
on
the
other
hand
,
didn
t
really
date
till
college
.
He
was
shy
in
high
school
,
but
then
he
started
playing
drums
and
freshman
year
of
college
joined
a
punk
band
,
and
boom
,
girlfriends
.
Or
at
least
a
few
of
them
until
he
met
Mom
,
and
boom
,
a
wife
.
555
I
kind
of
figured
it
would
go
that
way
for
me
.
556
So
,
it
was
a
surprise
to
both
Kim
and
me
when
I
wound
up
in
Group
A
,
with
the
boyfriended
girls
.
At
first
,
I
tried
to
hide
it
.
After
I
came
home
from
the
Yo
-
Yo
Ma
concert
,
I
told
Kim
the
vaguest
of
details
.
I
didn
t
mention
the
kissing
.
I
rationalized
the
omission
:
There
was
no
point
getting
all
worked
up
about
a
kiss
.
One
kiss
does
not
a
relationship
make
.
I
d
kissed
boys
before
,
and
usually
by
the
next
day
the
kiss
had
evaporated
like
a
dewdrop
in
the
sun
.
557
Except
I
knew
that
with
Adam
it
was
a
big
deal
.
I
knew
from
the
way
the
warmth
flooded
my
whole
body
that
night
after
he
dropped
me
off
at
home
,
kissing
me
once
more
at
my
doorstep
.
By
the
way
I
stayed
up
until
dawn
hugging
my
pillow
.
By
the
way
that
I
could
not
eat
the
next
day
,
could
not
wipe
the
smile
off
my
face
.
I
recognized
that
the
kiss
was
a
door
I
had
walked
through
.
And
I
knew
that
I
d
left
Kim
on
the
other
side
.

After
a
week
,
and
a
few
more
stolen
kisses
,
I
knew
I
had
to
tell
Kim
.
We
went
for
coffee
after
school
.
It
was
May
but
it
was
pouring
rain
as
though
it
were
November
.
I
felt
slightly
suffocated
by
what
I
had
to
do
.
559
"
I
ll
buy
.
You
want
one
of
your
froufrou
drinks
?
"
I
asked
.
That
was
another
one
of
the
categories
we
d
determined
:
people
who
drank
plain
coffee
and
people
who
drank
gussied
-
up
caffeine
drinks
like
the
mint
-
chip
lattes
Kim
was
so
fond
of
.
560
"
I
think
I
ll
try
the
cinnamon
-
spice
chai
latte
,
"
she
said
,
giving
me
a
stern
look
that
said
,
I
will
not
be
ashamed
of
my
beverage
selection
.
