Why this must be read:
Another high school story, but this time the sweetness is tinged bittersweet harsh. Sandra is dumped by her boyfriend, who goes back to his girlfriend and spreads rumors abound Sandra. She turns to Duck for solace and comfort seeing more in it than is being offered.
This is one of those stories that packs an extra punch because we know where these characters end up and why they are acting the way they are even when they are confused by it themselves. It's a deft use of everything we know from the movie, stripping it all of polish and cynicism so that it is raw and fresh.
"Have you ever had sex before?" Sandra whispered, and Duck's smile faltered.
"What -- why--?"
Sandra kissed him before he could finish. She didn't think he was very experienced, but she didn't know, so she tried to make it as good a kiss as she could. It was pretty much impossible to do with Duck just sitting there like a statue, but after a couple seconds he seemed to relax, and after a couple of seconds more his hand came tentatively up to her hair. That was encouragement, Sandra was pretty sure, so she pushed it, deepening the kiss, bringing Duck's other hand to her waist, moving closer. When they stopped kissing she was sitting in Duck's lap.
"Sandra, what..." Duck trailed off, sounding lost. His eyes were looking straight into hers. They were piercing and unsettling, as though he was searching for something in her, but mostly he just looked confused. It made him look younger than he was.
