Who Needs Donuts Anyway?
Jamie kept her eyes closed as she sat against the old oak tree in the school courtyard soaking up the early afternoon sun. Her best friend Todd sat on one side and her girlfriend Cortney sat on the other with her bare arm mashed against Jamie's. Jamie wished the moment would never end. Nobody at school knew that she and Cortney were going out or that Todd was gay, too and Jamie wasn't interested in being the poster child for gay sophomore girls at Petersville High School.
"Jamie?" Cortney nudged her with her arm.
Jamie was exhausted, as usual, and couldn't find the strength to answer. She groaned when Cortney's warm arm disappeared.
"Jamie, wake up." Cortney's voice was insistent. "What's wrong with you? Todd, help me."
Jamie wanted to wake up, but she couldn't crawl through the fog in her head. The last thing she remembered was Todd yelling, "Oh shit, her eyes are rolling back in her head. Get Mr. Moore.".
