I admit that I also had some concerns about what she would wear, though it wasnt something I would tell her. Vibram Five Fingers When Jamie went to the church socials-which were encouraged by Hebert-she usually wore an old sweater and one of the plaid skirts we saw in school every day, but the homecoming dance was supposed to be special. Most of the girls bought new dresses and the boys wore suits, Vibram Five Fingers US and this year we were bringing in a photographer to take our pictures. I knew Jamie wasnt going to buy a new dress because she wasnt exactly well-off. As a general rule, Southern Baptists dont dance. In Beaufort, however, it wasnt a rule that was ever strictly enforced. The minister before Hebert-dont ask me what his name was-took sort of a lax view about school dances as long as they were chaperoned, and because of that, theyd become a tradition of sorts. By the time Hebert came along, it was too late to change things.
Vibram Jamie was pretty much the only one whod never been to a school dance and frankly, I didnt know whether she even knew how to dance at all.
Ministering wasnt a profession where people made a lot of money, but of course ministers werent in it for monetary gain, they were in it for the long haul, if you know what I mean. But I didnt want her to wear the same thing she wore to school every day, either. Not so much for me-Im not that cold-hearted-but because of what others might say. I didnt want people to make fun of her or anything. Vibram Five Fingers Classic The good news, if there was any, was that Eric didnt rib me too bad about the whole Jamie situation because he was too busy thinking about his own date. He was taking Margaret Hays, who was the head cheerleader at our school. She wasnt the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, but she was nice in her own way. Vibram Five Fingers US By nice, of course, Im talking about her legs. Eric offered to double-date with me, but I turned him down because I didnt want to take any chances with Eric teasing Jamie or anything like that. He was a good guy, but he could be kind of heartless sometimes, especially when he had a few shots of bourbon in him.
Vibram Classic Men Shoes The day of the dance was actually quite busy for me. I spent most of the afternoon helping to decorate the gym, and I had to get to Jamies about a half hour early because her father wanted to talk to me, though I didnt know why. Jamie had sprung that one on me just the day before, and I cant say I was exactly thrilled by the prospect of it. I figured he was going to talk about temptation and the evil path it can lead us to. If he brought up fornication, though, Vibram Fivefingers Classic Shoes I knew I would die right there on the spot. I said small prayers all day long in the hope of avoiding this conversation, but I wasnt sure if God would put my prayers on the front burner, if you know what I mean, because of the way Id behaved in the past. I was pretty nervous just thinking about it.
After I showered I put on my best suit, Vibram Fivefingers Kso Shoes swung by the florist to pick up Jamies corsage, and then drove to her house. My mom had let me borrow the car, and I parked it on the street directly in front of Jamies house. We hadnt turned the clocks back yet, so it was still light out when I got there, and I strolled up the cracked walkway to her door. I knocked and waited for a moment, then knocked again.
