Meeting Oakley & Elena

[aggienaut]

   So I returned from Sweden, arriving home 11 hours before I had to start summer school in California. The next morning I was sitting in class trying to get used to the fact that everyone was speaking English all around me. Also, while I was there taking classes for the first time, everyone else was there because they'd failed something.. so man was the class dumbed down and filled with dumbtarded people.
   Returned to work lifeguarding at Wild Rivers.
   Found that my best friend Alberto, who had been thoroughly preppy when I left had redefined himself as a little more edgy and gotten into "death metal" music. Unfortunately he didn't quite realize that some people found this rather scary -- for example when quiet popular girl Melody Diversa went on a date with him and was traumatized because he blasted death metal the whole time they were in his car.
   And this of course was just one of many many amusing incidents of girls basically throwing themselves at Alberto and him totally bungling it.

   Anyway, one day I'm talking to Alberto online and he admits he's got this crush on this redhead, Oakley, who happens to be my math teacher's daughter. So of course I'm like "Oakley? I know Oakley. She's in my MUN class, and now I'm gonna be her new best friend ;) " And then he probably called me, because he always called me the moment I said something interesting, and then I'd be like "DUDE, can't we just talk online?" and then he's like "Dude!" and... yeah.
   Anyway, the next day --which would be Monday the 25th of October, 1999-- around 3:05pm, I run into Oakley by her locker with a friend. So of course I say hi and talk to her a little, and am introduced to her friend, Elena Jordanov.
