Popularity Takeover
“LILI WAS MAKING A LOT of sacrifices.
First of all, she had cleared four hours in her usual Saturday afternoon schedule. She had begged her mother for permission to go on a short hike in the hills around Golden Gate Park, telling her she was going with a friend (only a small white lie, since Max was a boyfriend), and promised to register with the park ranger and text her precise coordinates (latitude and longitude) every thirty minutes.
She had dressed in all the unflattering, nonfashion...able outdoor gear she’d bought to go on the fateful camping-trip-from-hell back in December. She was pretending not to mind that the wind was blowing a gale, or that the track was still muddy from last night’s rain. And she was not pointing out that her idea of a “short hike” did not involve scaling what appeared to be a Himalayan-size slope.
But Max didn’t seem to appreciate any of that.
After French class the other day, they had kissed and made up.MoreLess
