Chapter 6

"September of 1986 I went back to school again, dreading another year with the losers I have spent 1/2 my life with already. No, they really were not losers, but to me they were useless because I was ostracized by each and every one of them. I had noticed in my homeroom a new face though; His name was Randal Logan, Randy for short. Quickly during the first couple of days I found he rivaled my intelligence, already correcting two of the teachers when they made mistakes. I decided it wouldn't hurt to try and make friends with this person since he was (as I found out later) even more intelligent then myself. Quickly we became friends and that made life much easier to bear.

I did not forget the letter that hope sent me during the summer, and I was looking forward to her moving back. I had told Randy about Hope and we came up with a plan to throw a party for her return. Picture this: Two geeks inviting the entire school to a welcome home party for someone no one really knew. It was a grand scheme, and we hoped it would work but when the day came for Hope's return we were left with the two of us, 40 party hats, a bowl of punch, our parents, and a melting ice cream cake.

Hope knew about the party and luckily she and her mother, Caroline showed up around at 4:15 PM. They were a little late to a party, a party that was dead before it even started. I felt like crap because of how things turned out and decided to go sit on the back porch and cry for a while. To my surprise, Hope had followed me. Before I knew it I was wrapped in soft arms and I had small hands pressed against my back. Hope, who had only grown one inch since the last time I had seen her, had tears in her eyes as she hugged me with every thing she had.
