I remember when i was in high school i didn't have a new dress for each special occasion. the girls would bring the fact to my attention, not always too delicately. the boys, however, never bothered with the subject. they were my friends, not because of the size of my wardrobe but because they liked me.

More From Marilyn Monroe

I always say there's no more little girls, just boys with breasts. girls act like boys nowadays. teenage girls, they go after boys. they're predatory just like boys. my goal is to keep my girls, girls.

I nodded. i liked augustus waters. i really, really, really liked him. i liked the way his story ended with someone else. i liked his voice. i liked that he took existentially fraught free throws. i liked that he was a tenured professor in the department of slightly crooked smiles with a dual appointment in the department of having a voice that made my skin feel more like skin. and i liked that he had two names. i’ve always liked people with two names, because you get to make up your mind what you call them: gus or augustus? me, i was always just hazel, univalent hazel.

Remember when you were a kid and the boys didn't like the girls? only sissies liked girls? what i'm trying to tell you is that nothing's changed. you think boys grow out of not liking girls, but we don't grow out of it. we just grow horny. that's the problem. we mix up liking pussy for liking girls. believe me, one couldn't have less to do with the other.

I was pretty young. i guess i was in high school, so i was probably 13 years old. it was crazy. i remember it very vividly. i remember - it was actually kind of horrifying, because one of my friends - we smoked out of a bong, and one of my friends - this was so stupid - he didn't want to bring - it was after school on a friday, and he didn't - we smoked weed in this park called the ravine that was across the street from my high school.

The wages of sin is death but so is the salary of virtue, and at least the evil get to go home early on fridays.

Could it be? samantha kingston? home? on a friday?” i roll my eyes. “i don’t know. did you do a lot of acid in the sixties? could be a flashback.” “i was two years old in 1960. i came too late for the party.” he leans down and pecks me on the head. i pull away out of habit. “and i’m not even going to ask how you know about acid flashbacks.” “what’s an acid flashback?” izzy crows. “nothing,” my dad and i say at the same time, and he smiles at me.
