Wow! Unpacking at the apartment in Oklahoma City didn’t seem nearly as difficult for you; what person needs five v-neck sweaters?  It’s a good thing Lou, your editor, has friends on Elm Street and an expense account.  Mrs. Sanders’ house is immaculate inside and out.  The flower beds are perfectly blooming and the hedges pruned.  How does a woman with a husband out at sea keep her home in tiptop shape?  It doesn’t matter, you’re there renting a room for the semester to get credit for advanced math since your school back home doesn’t offer such courses, so Lou told Mrs. Sanders.

On your last trip in from your 1965 Ford Falcon, a Corvaire slowly cruises by with four loud teens eying you, two boys in the front and two girls in the back.  You give them a nod and think, “Hmm, could be friend’s of Bob, better watch where they turn in.”

As luck would have it, the car pulls in three houses down.  After unpacking, you outline your plan:  1.  hang out shooting hoops until teens come back out, 2.  introduce self, 3.  try to get invited  to the movies, and 4.  buddy up with one of them.

You’ve been shooting baskets for around an hour, and finally the group makes their way back by.  They stop by your driveway and ask, “You new here?”

To which you reply, “Yeah, I need math credits for Drumright.  Whatcha guys do for fun around these parts?"
