Chapter 2 - September

When we arrived, Nurse Ross attended to an older kid on the examination table. He was tall, had long brown hair, piercing green eyes, angelic pale skin, and wore faded Levi’s, a green and blue plaid blazer with suede elbow patches, a light blue Oxford button-down shirt, scuffed maroon penny loafers, and a burgundy-colored knit Polo tie. I’d seen him walking across campus a few times and thought he was the coolest guy I’d ever seen. His self-confidence, class, privilege, and perfection were unmistakable, yet I sensed a restless uneasiness behind his unblemished facade.
