doesn't he was a senior now but although i am three years older than he is i was just so lonely doing here i've been out sick for a long time and then i've gone to junior college this real campus seemed wonderful to me and it was such fun being with eve again naturally she had to show me around and try to bring me up to date i was amazed that she was engaged by now she was prettier than ever number ones are good but have two of those  and i ended up by deciding that she was still the same attractive he's full of life but a little self centered and a little less to push people around i liked her as much as ever but i wasn't so easy to push anymore i didn't feel i needed her advice to why i didn't really resented maybe it was that course in family relations last spring i learned that it's a good idea to try to change yourself first is there has to be a change change in somebody else is practically impossible yet i must admit i was curious to know all about eve and she was more than willing to talk tell me about the boys you've met you're saying something always  for the life of me figure out what happened alex for instance she said i was down at riley's one afternoon with a gang i'd heard of him but i'd never met him he was a football star i liked him and he liked me right from the start we found plenty to talk about and neither one of us could figure out how we'd been on the campus for two years without ever meeting before he was lots of fun we decided to spend the afternoon together it turned out that was just the first of a whole slew of afternoons he was really sweet and well just nice to be with i guess i was a little proud too that a varsity football player was paying so much attention to little me when as i said eve went on we saw quite a bit of each other but after a few months his popularity got annoying we were never really alone and he never stop worrying about his appearance did his collar look better buttoned or on buttons i could have been wearing a little number by dior and he wouldn't of noticed it but if there was a new girl in the place he was all eyes and smiles it wouldn't make any difference what she looked like as long as he had some simpering crack to make about how well he'd played on saturday i began decant john that those forward passes could be used two ways and finally i had more than i could stand and i told him exactly what i thought of him he didn't take it is well as he took complements that i didn't appreciate the importance of his career career indeed who ever heard of a wolf with a career the gang called him the brain because he was such a whiz at mess and he was always ready to help  now talk about some of the time but there never was another time said eve i was just another problem to him and then there was he was easy boyfriend for a whole spring term he was cute he said and really romantic he had his own workout going made boats and things even used to come by to pick him up i tried to get him out once in a while really i did campus sure enough we found him at the old stand lost in thought and a pleasant job it didn't take long to get the introductions over i'm different like steve i find it relaxing to keep away from group sometimes and work out my troubles with my hands even i got along well together so i could see you wondered how a friend of eve's could be like me he'd been thinking there was something wrong with him because he couldn't dance the bed to the tune as a matter of fact steve was not the boy for me either even though i liked him a lot it would be too much like spending time with a twin brother were too i told all this to even next day when we had a writing date it was saturday and classes were over at noon now you but i mean mary all these boys and in their own way they all have something i like but it's only one part of their character but the something the e u liked about a boy get be separated from the rest of his personality i couldn't make her understand that but i did stick my neck out a little way i think it would do you a lot of good to meet someone you can push your own i mean someone who voices me you know i don't i mean someone who's not afraid of you that's just like john he thinks he's tough i can't stand the sight of him your story about betty well here's what happened last week we drove out to the country together we had a wonderful time i can't remember when i've had so much fun i guess we just clicked then just as we were getting to know each other better he says let's go home i was on my head here i was thinking he really cared and he does a fling like that but why did he do it oh well you see it wasn't his car he promised he's friendly be back with us before six you can stay if you want to i'm not going to keep george waiting so george is more important to you than i am is that that's not the point george can do without the car for once if you really cared about me you'd say george you know george he sounds like the best of all are you serious you know you are wrong how do you make that out well just think about it for a second what were you asking him to do prove that he lied to me what's wrong with that would never satisfy you for not well that's not what you really wanted was all the time you wanted him to do what you told him to do that's what you always that's terrible i thought i'd gone too far but now that he knew what he was doing she could decide for herself if she wanted to change that's always the hard thing to learn that if any change is possible it must be changing yourself you have to take other people as they come or else leave them alone i started thinking about eve's boys they had the same problem do you like even he liked his hobby too but he couldn't have both it would be easier to find a girl who like staying at home while there are probably needs some help in order to change alex had already so his problem a girl who isn't always competing with him for first place he's not as attractive as he but keating's is a wonderful and he's so wonderful he's right for him and  boy meets girl boy loses girl maybe boy knows what he wants in on what turns this girl doesn't know yet but she's doing her best to find out every little experience even the young pleasant ones helped me know a little more about myself and that's the first step there are some things about me that i can't change and those are the things that some man will have to live with for the rest of his life so i'll take him with those things in mind i hope he'll do the same for me we'll have to stay friends for a long long time
