Later, the night of the pre-Rasmussen sleepover, lying in the twin beds in Beth’s bedroom with the lights out, we returned to the subject of our new teacher and our classmates and who would, and who wouldn’t, or might, and whether the girls from previous years really were having sex or just acting like they were.
“I can imagine second base, maybe.”
“I think further,” said Beth.
“Why?”
“How should I know why? I’m not doing it.”
“I meant, why do you think that they go further?” I waited a really long time for her to answer. I could tell she had something to say if she could figure out how to say it.
“I saw them in the art room once. Him and Tamsin. He had his hands in her pants.”
“Both hands? Did they see you?”
“No.”
“That’s so barfy!”
“Barfamatic!”
“I would never even let him touch me on the arm,” I said.
“Not even on the toe!”
“And if he gives me a stupid nickname I’ll tell him to shove it.”
“Did I ever tell you he was my teacher in third grade?”
“What?” I looked at her with real horror. How could she have withheld this fact?
“Mrs. Stark had her baby early and he subbed. Just for like a month.”
“You never said that. That you knew him already.”
“It was third grade!”
“So, have you been to his house?”
“Yeah. Once.”
“Does he really have a waterbed?”
“Nora! I didn’t go in their bedroom! It was the whole class. We did folk singing.”
“But you never would, would you? Go in his bedroom?”
“You’re so gross. Of course not.”
“Let’s make a pact.”
“Okay, no blood though.”
So it was a spit-swear—a step up from a double-dog-dare-you, but inviolable in my eyes. I still don’t really understand why I had to banish her so completely when she broke it, but banish her I did. And I guess I now have an opportunity to make up for that.
