Sport 26: Autumn 2001

3.

At school Caroline comes to me and says, making sure she places her perfectly manicured hand on my shoulder, she comes and asks, ‘How come you have no nails?’ This is not really a question she means to ask. It is just a stupid remark. She is trying to show surprise about something she got used to not seeing ages ago in an attempt to impress the Sorrel twins who are new at school and have never seen such a wonder before. As if having someone who looks exactly like you is not worse! So I smile and walk towards my classroom. I can hear her laughing behind me but she suddenly stops because she has just remembered to tell everyone about her secret encounters with Brian McPherson behind the gym and how she scratched his back when they kissed the other day, as she suggested, of course.
