23、l lo mein and General Tsos chicken. As we ate, we got to know each other. She asked if I played any instruments. I replied that I played the violin, cello, and guitar.

29、stumbling over the words a bit. “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” she echoed in awe. “Whats that about ” I realized that she didnt see commercials for movies. I explained the basic plot and she chuckled. “A man who is born 80 years old and ages backwards! That sounds interesting.” She got up to
30、 get a to-go box. “Would you like one ” she asked, but I refused.

She got good grades. She took pictures for her yearbook. She was the person I hope to be in the future. What went wr
