We always seemed to get into trouble together. I remember when both of us were grounded for missing our curfews. There was a big party on the beach and we were both excited because Marc, whom both of us thought was such a babe, was going to be there. That night was a complete disaster. We all sat around a fire on the beach eating and drinking. As more and more people arrived at the beach, I lost track ofJulie. While I tended the dying fire, Marc suddenly tapped me on the shoulder and asked where Julie was. We finally found her alone on the pier. She said she didn't feel well. We helped her get home, then walked back to the beach to get our bikes. I felt terrible about the whole thing, Julie got in trouble, and Marc asked me out. I remember calling Julie after my bi-monthly fight with my parents. More than once I had my suitcase packed and was ready to hit the road. She always said lwas welcome to stay at her house, but somehow, over the course of the conversation, she subtly persuaded me to work things out at home. Not only was she a good listener, but a good talker too. We spent many hours on the phone attempting to unravel a geome- try problem. As the clock problems got tougher, our gossip got juicier. We ended up talking all evening until Julie's dad told her to get off the phone. I stared at my clock radio, and it stared 9:30 back at me. As my nead begged for sleep and my stomach pleaded for food, the phone rang. Wearily, I answered it. I smiled. It was Julie. l 'WMP' www ,I . .N -I QL'-fE'?' ii .3 wf,wffX,.

off the shelves, we would stare discreetly, or so we thought, at the cute senior both of us had a crush on. We were careful to stackthe books in odd corners of the library when we left. More often than not, we were kicked out. After receiving dirty looks from the librarians, we would wander through the halls and giggle. Some- times we would sit outside with a group of people and gossip. Other times we would sit alone and talk about everything: par- ents, people, clothes, music, and sports. Julie was on the volleyball team and was very enthusiastic about it. I went to see her play in a couple of games. She wasn't very good, but l always told her she was great anyway. Now she was hoping to make Varsity. Once in a while, we would go shopping at Northbrook Court, which was really an excuse to eat everything in sight and look at things neither of us could afford. Julie's sister, who was a senior, would always come and pick us up. l remember how much older she seemed. She smoked cigarettes and knew all the words to the songs on the radio. One time Julie and l went into her room and looked through all her old yearbooks to read what people had written in them. We stole her Marlboros, too. She was furious when she found ashes in her favorite mug and burns in her bedspread. PEPP STUDENT LIFE 27
