TORTURE
As I sit on my bed tug
ging at stuborn socks ,
I ask myself, "How did I
get in this horrible—and
I mean horrible—r.ess?"The
next few hours will be
torture and there isn't
anything I can do to pre
vent it. The moon is a
silvery shade of orange
and resembles a brightly
colored bowling ball. The
stars are shining like a
million fireflies over a
huge green field. This
makes the terrible task I
have to perform even more
difficult. I get ray coaf;
,md get ready to leave,
//hen my parents say with
a cheerful tone in their
voices,"Have a good time,"
"Have a good time!"
iVhat do they know about
having a good time?I could
be going bowling with the
boys, but no, I have to go
NT VIEWS
"Have a good time." Tell
me, what boy ever had a
good time on his first
date?

THE UNLUCKY SEX
Hi I Meet me, the member
of the unlucky sex. Yep,
you’re right. I’m a’gJLrii
Here I am just waiting for
that certain boy to call
me, and yet they say I’m.
luckier than a boy. Well,
that's not true. If a boy
wants to date a girl, all
he’s got to do is ask her;
but if I want to date a
boy,. I’ve got to hope and
wait. Of course, I can
always use some of the
female’s little conniving
ways to let him know I want
to date him, but still I’ve
got to hope and wait. Ex
cuse me. I’ll be back in a
minute. Well, what do you
know, "he" just called me!
And you know what, he asked
me for a date. Well, he
hasn’t got anything -to
worry about now, but look
at me. I’ve got to figure
out what to wear, what to
talk to him about,bow to
introduce him to my parents
... oh, woe is me! A
woman’s problems never end!

"BLIND DATE"
(continued from page 3)
"He is hers, doomsday is
nigh, oh for a genie that
could make me disappear!
If only I..." I thought
mo more for at that pre
cise moment at the height
of my agony, I was melted
by the most beautiful blue
eyes I’d ever seen.
