At first, Darren could hardly believe it himself.
He told all of his friends about it, mostly over
Instant Messenger. One of his friends, who had
gone to Germany, told Darren that it was obvious.
Darren sure didn't think it was obvious before then.
At any rate, the first few weeks were like a dream
for Darren.

Many nights, Darren would "borrow" his mother's
Jeep in order to go visit Erica. Arriving at her
house late at night, he would always walk around
to the side of her house and throw pebbles at her
window. On one of these nights, Darren stood on
the wall connected to her house and touched his
palm against hers through the screen of her window.
"Erica, I'm crazy in love with you," he said, and
he was.

Over the course of the summer, Erica and Darren
became closer and closer to each other. When
Darren was not at Sunil's house playing video
games, he was spending time with the girl who
he was loving more and more every day. They
went to movies together, they went out to eat,
or they just lazed around the house. Whatever
they were doing, they had fun together.
