Riding in Cars with Boys Page #2

No, Bev. It won't fit.

- You got to let me wear that dress.

- Why?

Because I love you.

- Please, please, please.

- All right.

Put the top up!

Look at all these new cars.

Tina, park in the street.

Come on!

- Did you take my scarf?

- I got it. You're sitting on my purse.

Bobby will crash with his f riend.

This dress is swimming on me.

And don't blame me

if this party's boring and no f un.

Fun? Fun?

Fun is what you bring with you.

- Do I have something in my braces?

- I don't know.

There.

- It's out.

- Yeah.

Who invited her to my party?

Who? Did you? Did you?

I invited Fay.

The noseguard points to me,

like he's gonna hurt me.

- Quick, give me that!

- They're stuffing themselves.

- Guess it's what Bobby likes.

- Wonder what that feels like.

- Are they even?

- I think so.

- You could be with any girl here.

- Of course, I know that.

I'm just a placekicker.

Bobby, wait. Where are we going?

- Come here.

- What?

Mind if I sit?

Great.

- Who's that sitting on Kevin?

- Some townie.

- Who'd you come with?

- Ray Hasek.

- Him? Where is he?

- In the bathroom.

Stay here.

Hello, Sky.

Tommy, why do you gotta

sneak up on people?

You idiot. Shoot!

Sorry, Bev. I didn't mean

to scare you.

I'm sorry. I'm just completely

distracted at the moment.

Don't talk right now.

- Hungry?

- Oh, sure.

- You want some salt?

- Sure.

I checked out F. Scott

Fitzgerald's stories...

I'm doing something daring right now,

and I'm working up some optimism.

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.

- I'm just a big chicken.

- No, Bev.

Someone once said a coward and a hero

have one thing in common: fear.

You may be scared,

but you're no coward.

I come off the field,

following me are scouts...

...f rom Notre Dame, Penn State,

Ohio State, all talking to me.

So I'm like, 'Alphabetical order.'

So the guy f rom Penn State is first...

Sky, wouldn't Notre Dame be first

if it's alphabetical order?

- Hi, Sky.

- Hi!

Here.

Don't open it now.

- Read it later when you can.

- Later when I can.

Read it.

'Silver buttons of night's

velvet dress unbuttoned...

...to reveal my simple universe

and our heavenly touch.'

The last one was about her legs

trembling and heaving bosom.

- She loves you.

- Bev!

I like the poem, Bev! Bev!

- Don't open that door!

- Okay.

Is everything all right?

Can I have a cigarette?

You're blowing it out.

You're blowing it out.

Don't breathe out. You do it.

I know you. You were in the play

at the high school.

You're Fay's f riend.

You're the smart one.

I'm Ray Hasek.

Bobby's f riend.

Fay made us go because she painted

all the background stuff. Remember?

- You were the girl.

- Juliet.

Yeah!
