If remembering your hand on an older boy's arm (even if 
he was just your best friend's brother) still gives you 
the flutters, Hi there, sister!

AUTHOR'S NOTES

This story builds upon a passing sketch in my "Writers' 
Forum". This is not a sequel, however, i.e., the 
protagonist does not turn out to be another sexually-
confused schoolteacher. So is this a romance story? I 
do believe so! Is it erotic? I suppose that too. But 
I'd like to think that sex isn't the only topic. 
Concatenate the sex scenes with appropriate 
conjunctions and it's no story. With some erotic 
fiction, it works.

And what's wrong with romance novellas, anyway, other 
than their being mostly clones? Actually, that's my 
plan -- to perfect the sequence and then rewrite for 
Paris in the 20's, the Scottish Highlands, Wales, 
Greece and antebellum Savannah. You get the idea. I'll 
live in each locale while I cut and paste. Romance, 
romance...

BUS RIDE

The courts had ruled the law unconstitutional, but the 
Negroes still sat at the back. Nora didn't think it odd 
that they did; it was so they could talk to each other. 
She always sat in the middle-right when she rode Bus 6 
to clarinet lessons. The right-hand side was better for 
seeing the styles in the store windows. She hoped to 
get a pleated skirt for her birthday. Penny's had the 
best, she'd hinted to Mom.

Preston and Rusty were already in high school, but 
everybody knew everybody a little bit. Well, not the 
Negroes.

"Hi, babe." The two plopped down, Rusty on Nora's left, 
Preston behind. Preston had an acne problem for which 
he used flesh-toned cream. The box said flesh tone, 
that is. Rusty's sleeves were rolled up, the in vogue 
cool-guy look.

"Wanna cig?"

Nora hadn't talked to older boys that much. "I don't 
smoke." She hoped she sounded casual. "Besides, we're 
on the bus."

"Shoot. Figured you were older. Like to swim? We go to 
the slough sometimes."

"My folks won't let me." She wished she were older.

"Skinny dipping. So don't tell 'em. Like the Roxie?"

She wasn't going to look like a little kid. "Sure."

"I don't mean watchin' movies." Rusty looked to Preston 
for approval and then returned to his target. "Ever sit 
in the back?"

She flinched. Everybody knew what sitting in the back 
was about. It wasn't any of their business, anyway. She 
hadn't, but they needn't be told. At 15, she felt 
brave. "Sure," she ventured, hoping that somebody would 
take the seat across, her bravery already waning.

Rusty was looking at her bust, what she had of one that 
is, and scooted closer, closer than Nora liked. He 
looked around. "How 'bout this?" and touched her 
pubescent nipple through the cardigan.

Nora was taken off guard. "Don't," jerking into the 
hard seat back without dissuading his pursuant grasp. 
She tried to turn away, but his hand clutched harder, 
ignoring her swat.

He grinned back at pimple-faced Parker. "See, she likes 
me," emboldened by his success.

Nora looked to the back, knowing that Negroes rarely 
look up. "Please don't."

"Scrunch down," trying to maneuver Nora where a hand 
could roam more freely.

"Let him finger-paint you," his friend chuckled. "I'll 
help," touching her shoulder.

She pushed Rusty's hand away, but he caught her wrist. 
"So here's something you'll like," pushing her hand 
into his crotch. "Big enough?"

He squeezed her fingers around something fat. Nora 
couldn't dislodge his grip. She'd heard about boners. 
What if someone saw what she was doing!

"Well it likes her," for his buddy. Then he added to 
Nora, "So I'm going to let go and you're going to hold 
it."

Scared, not now knowing what to do, she obeyed.

"Come on, babe, squeeze me good," perhaps a line he'd 
read from a dirty book that he'd shoplifted.

She didn't do that, but her hand was still there.

"I'll miss my stop," she begged.

Rusty returned his hand on Nora's, tightened her 
fingers around him and forced her grip first down and 
then back up. "Like that."

Nora started to cry.

As Rusty weighed his chances, a matronly lady claimed 
the seat in front, her grocery bag brimming with 
greens. He let go and whispered, "See you again, pretty 
girl."

The two boys got off.

Her best friend Kara Lee could tell from Nora's eyes. 
Kara Lee's brother Robin was in high school, a 
halfback. Rusty and Preston got the tar beat out of 
them after the game, Rusty severely kicked in the 
groin, according to the word in the halls. Rusty and 
Preston said it was too dark to identify the 
assailants, but there were several and they were from 
another town.

THE HALFBACK

Robin didn't pay much attention to his sister's 
friends. Three years younger was too little. Even the 
mature ones weren't par with girls of his own class. 
Kara Lee's friends giggled too much about nothing. 
Babies.

Only when Kara Lee told him about Rusty and Preston, 
losers anyway in Robin's circles, did Robin give his 
sister's friend particular thought. Just a bird and not 
a noticeable one at that. Probably still played with 
dolls. But she was Kara Lee's friend and no guy was 
going to bully little girls.

It was easy to find the miscreant pair smoking after 
the game, to cower one while he beat the other, then 
reversing the application. He didn't kick Preston, a 
bloody nose enough for an accomplice. Robin wasn't late 
to the team party and made it with Heather. He didn't 
like having kicked, but was glad anyway.

It was two weeks later when the girl, Nora, passed him 
on the Library steps. "Thanks."

"What for?"

"They haven't bothered me any more."

"Kara Lee told me."

"I know. I just wanted to say thanks." A shy smile and 
she darted into the building.

It was later, after dinner. The siblings were clearing 
the table. "Hey, Kara Lee?"

"Yeh?"

"Your friend, the one those guys hassled, told me 
thanks."

"Maybe 'cause you kicked their balls."

"Is she OK, Nora?"

"Sure. Why?"

"Saw her at the Library. Just curious."

Robin wasn't sure why he was curious, but the brevity 
of her smile stuck with him. It wasn't the smile girls 
his age tossed around to be noticed. It was more like a 
flash. She'd probably be pretty when she got older. He 
hoped she'd seen him make the 32-yard up-the-middle 
touchdown.

JUNIOR CHEERLEADER

Of course Nora wasn't a real cheerleader. She was still 
in junior high and even if she were older, she'd not be 
popular enough, not glamorous like the real ones.

Nonetheless, after Kara Lee's brother did whatever he 
did to the boys who scared her, Nora was his secret 
cheerleader. Robin was so fast out there on the field! 
When the other team threatened, he'd be sent in and 
sack the quarterback. Nora was so proud, him being her 
friend's brother. He'd talked to her, even, at the 
Library.

Other than saying thanks at the Library, however, 
Nora's amorous life was reading the standard tales 
about young women and mysterious strangers in rural 
castles. She'd seen dirty pictures at school, naked 
women mainly. Her friends shared their knowledge of 
male behavior, anatomy and contradictions. She'd 
decided she'd kiss a guy if she really liked him, but 
knew she was being theoretical. Nobody had tested it, 
which made it safer. As much as everybody talked about 
going all the way, her friends hadn't.

After the game, the cheerleaders would bustle around 
the stars, disseminating hugs as initial reward. As the 
boys were yet in gear, the cheerleaders tended to hang 
against their heroes' bare elbows. Kara Lee and Nora 
watched how the older girls thrust their breasts over 
and back across the players' arms, sometimes with 
enough vigor to protrude their nipples against their 
cheerleader sweaters. The two younger girls could also 
see that the tired team, still in their pounds of 
equipment, sometimes hardly noticed.

After the rally queens dashed back for their finale 
pom-pom choreography, the two younger girls would find 
Robin. Kara Lee would give him a kiss, right on the 
lips. Nora would just be excited to be there.

"What'dya think, Nora?" Robin once asked, not adverse 
to a recount of 174 yards, one run in which he shook 
off two tackles and sprinted 44. Nora had jumped up and 
down; it was so exciting.

"I think you're really good," she gushed. She felt even 
a little giddy, being asked for her opinion. By name! 
Right there, still on the field!

Robin must have felt a bit embarrassed, hogging the 
glory. "Well Stanley made me the block."

"I still think you're really good," with her quick 
grin.

POST GAME

The guys egged Robin to down a six-pack, but one beer 
was all he wanted. Girls, checking to see if their 
regular guy was otherwise occupied, squeezed against 
him, giggling such insights as, "You've got the moves." 
It was everything a halfback could want. Robin couldn't 
deny Jill's attention. She'd brought him chips, laughed 
at his witticisms and undid a button to announce her 
pressing hormonal needs. He'd score again.

"Let's go out on the porch," Jill's invitation. Robin 
followed not to the porch, but into the garden where 
they'd be less visible. "The trees got reserved 
already," evidence of the rally squad's pre-game 
planning.

"Come on, Mr. Touchdown Man," Jill teased her tongue 
between his teeth. He let her, even if it felt 
slobbery. She led him to her remaining buttons. She 
loved her breasts. "OK, if you really want to," while 
she disengaged his zipper. "Oh, God, it's big!" as if 
she were amazed.

In the school plays, Jill was known to strip to her bra 
backstage, not going to the dressing room for a costume 
change if speech teacher Mrs. Grule weren't around. 
Robin wondered if Jill guessed that he jacked off 
afterwards. Probably, the way she'd stretch it out. And 
here she was now, telling him to go ahead. Not just 
telling, but doing.

He was hard without thinking why. She'd want him to 
work down from her top, but he was so tired. He tugged 
her bra upward, but didn't bother to unhook the back. 
He let her pull his face against her until he licked 
her nipples, but forgot to suck. Watching her change by 
the prop rack seemed sexier. Her bra, thin as it was, 
had at least offered some mystery.

Robin pulled off her panties and had her on the 
flagstones. He figured she'd be ready and she was, but 
he'd have penetrated immediately in any case. He was 
glad his jeans were still over his knees; the path was 
gritty. He hoped she'd brushed off the place where her 
butt was rubbing, but he hadn't noticed. He liked her 
slippery feel, but rode her roughly. Most girls like it 
that way, he justified. He liked it when they wiggled 
and Jill really wiggled. She locked her heels around 
him, Robin not sure if to press him inward or prevent 
his cessation.

She moaned climax, but he wasn't convinced he'd lasted 
long enough. His ejaculation felt fine, but not that 
much different than with Sarah or Katherine or Heather 
or whomever else on the squad got to him after a 
victory. Sex was good for relaxing, anyway.

Robin was pleased with his conquest (if it could be 
called his, that is), but at the same time, hardly 
victorious. Even if she'd been a virgin, so what? She 
needed being screwed, just like himself. Her orgasm was 
probably real because her heart was still racing, he 
decided. There ought to be a payoff for her too. He 
took a little time with her breasts, attention that he 
should have paid in foreplay. His teammates agreed that 
she had the best nipples.

Some of the team bragged about not caring whom they 
banged, but Robin figured that it made a difference. 
He'd want it to make a difference to the girl, but 
maybe it didn't, other than him being a starter in the 
offensive backfield.

Some of the guys said they hoped they knocked their 
girl up, as she wouldn't even know whose it was. No 
girl had ever asked him to wear a condom, anyway, but 
they'd not do that and run the risk of becoming 
unpopular. But he'd wear one anyway. When his sister 
discovered sex, he'd not want some asshole knocking her 
up.

He helped her into her underpants and kissed her 
because guys always should afterwards. He expected 
she'd tell the squad she came three times, she'd made 
his cock so hard. Heather had boasted two orgasms in 
the back of her folks' station wagon with the seat 
folded down. They'd just been in the front seat and had 
been pretty quick.

After football there'd be basketball. Keep scoring. He 
couldn't let them think he was a queer. Did he have any 
life of his own?

KARA LEE

Kara Lee didn't tell her friend about how when they 
were little, she and her brother would play Doctor and 
Nurse. Robin would venture over her camisole, 
alternating with his rubber spatula and tapping 
forefinger. "Does it hurt here?"

"A little lower, Mr. Doctor," she'd encourage.

"How 'bout here?" until he was on her panties, spatula 
laid aside, and she was giggling too loud.

Even then she'd insist on her turn being boss. "On your 
back. You've been in a bad accident." She hadn't 
exactly known about why he squirmed when she gave him 
his physical, but she knew it was like why she giggled. 
She'd known without being told that games played in 
underpants are best played upstairs. One time he'd 
suddenly rolled on his stomach and after that said they 
really shouldn't. It was years before she realized what 
she'd seen; back then she was just hurt.

Big brothers' secrets keep little sisters employed. 
Kara Lee didn't exactly know with which girls her 
brother made out, but she knew he did. Kids would say 
things at school, not about Robin, but about girls she 
knew he partied with. Sometimes when a girlfriend drove 
him home, Kara Lee could tell from her window that they 
were redressing before he got out. He had somebody's 
panties hidden under his old Boy Scout uniform.

When she got to high school, she'd make out a lot too. 
She'd already heard where to sit in the Roxie, how you 
go to the bathroom afterwards to redo your blouse, that 
sometimes a guy will make you hold his thing. He has to 
make you, though.

She'd already kissed three boys and let Jackson put his 
arms around her from behind. She hoped he couldn't tell 
about the padding, but was glad for the foam so he 
couldn't tell about her nipples. She'd told Nora about 
the kisses, but Kara Lee hadn't admitted getting felt. 
She would, though. She'd tell Nora how Jackson had just 
used one thumb at first. She might even tell how she'd 
backed up against him and got her butt just right. 
Jackson tried to escape, but not before she knew 
exactly what effect she'd had on him!

Kara Lee liked having her friend know what a popular 
brother she had. It struck her as only natural that 
Nora would be awed. "He's pretty much going steady," 
Kara Lee confirmed on hearing that Heather on the rally 
squad let it be known that Robin was "a good at the big 
one, especially if you have a station wagon." She'd 
heard that Ruthie said that Jill said that Robin didn't 
just score during the football game. "He knows what us 
seniors need."

With Robin around the house, the girls would place 
themselves where they could monitor him. If he came or 
went, they'd look for clues. "I'll bet he's going to 
take Jill to the Roxie because he put on aftershave. 
You can tell around his dresser. Bet a dollar she goes 
into the bathroom afterwards, you know why?"

The two would sneak in to smell and look at the clothes 
he'd thrown on his bed. They liked the aftershave 
aroma. Robin was a better subject for speculation than 
boys their own age who, in large part, were basically 
rude, stupid or boring. "Sometimes he runs to the 
bathroom in them," Kara Lee revealed, wiggling a 
forefinger through the fly of Robin's underpants. Kara 
Lee let Nora hold them too, but Nora didn't put her 
finger anywhere.

Of his love life, "They kiss goodnight, and then 
sometimes they mess around," she'd told Nora. "Jill's 
folks must have her on a 1:00 curfew, so I know when to 
watch." From her window, Kara Lee had a straight view 
into the front seat of anything parked up the street. 
"They figure the hedge protects them, but that's just 
from downstairs where the folks would be."

Actually, she knew rather more.

The streetlight illuminated enough of the car's 
interior one Saturday to tell from how Jill's head was 
planted, Kara Lee noted vicariously, that the two were 
engaged in long kisses. His arm was up her pullover. At 
that point, who was doing what to whom became confusing 
to Kara Lee, but at the end, Jill's skirt was high 
enough to show a bare buttock and Robin's pants were 
down enough to show thighs under Jill's straddle. Jill 
bounced herself as if she was riding a horse. Kara Lee 
imagined the noise inside the car, the breathing 
especially. After a number of bounces, Jill stilled and 
rested her head on Robin's shoulder.

Kara Lee had the impression that Robin was looking into 
her window, but why would he do that, given that she 
was totally in the dark? Her hand slipped within her 
panties to better feel the moisture.

Kara Lee, of course, couldn't be sure what they'd done. 
She'd not seen his penis, probably hard and straight 
like an arrow. Not hearing the squeak-squeak of his 
mattress later, however, confirmed to her that Jill had 
met a need.

It was Kara Lee who masturbated that night, bouncing on 
her pillow. She was a cheerleader; her cushion, her 
brother's lap. Her finger was straight like an arrow, 
but after a few moments turned pliable and delicate. 
She was just 15, she admitted.

It was easy enough to tell her friend Nora that Robin 
made out; it was more fun adding details. But Kara Lee 
wasn't sure about sharing that she'd watched him make 
love, Jill bouncing on him, anyway.

A WISH

Being around Kara Lee's brother sometimes made Nora 
giddy. If he weren't her friend's brother, he wouldn't 
even know who she was. If he weren't her friend's 
brother, Rusty and Preston would be trying to make her 
go swimming with them or sit in the back of the Roxie. 
It was so awful to have touched Rusty where she did, 
but it wasn't her fault, Kara Lee agreed. Nora 
remembered exactly how he'd made her push down and pull 
back up.

If the girls were making cookies, he'd try sneaking 
some dough and Kara Lee would make him wash the mixing 
bowl as payment. He'd laugh at getting caught and 
comply. Once he snuck a blob of soapsuds in Kara Lee's 
hair and escaped before she noticed.

Once Robin even asked Nora who were her teachers to see 
if he'd had them. They agreed that Mr. Wyman never 
changed his sport coat and that Miss Barlow maybe had 
been spy against the Nazis, the way she could see out 
of the corner of her eye. Nora was afraid that her 
story about Miss Barlow catching Bobby Ames reading a 
Captain Midnight comic might seem stupid to someone as 
old as Robin, but he laughed and laughed and said that 
Miss Barlow probably used secret mirrors. Nora turned 
beet red, she was so pleased, and Kara Lee hugged her 
afterwards.

Once when the three were in the back yard, Kara Lee 
attacked her brother and he'd in turn lifted her by her 
feet to swing like a pendulum. Her shirt fell to her 
armpits and she'd swung, bra exposed, until the 
siblings collapsed on top of each other. Then she'd 
made him kiss her forehead for being so mean. Only 
afterwards did she pull down her top.

"Help me get him this time," Kara Lee had beckoned, but 
Nora declined. Her top was loose too, but she wasn't 
his sister.

Once Robin helped them cut pictures for a social 
studies mural out of old National Geographics. He'd get 
to some of those places someday, he'd said. "Yah, like 
this one," countered Kara Lee, holding up an article 
about birds that nest in church steeples. "You got 
named for your brain size." Nora loved the way they'd 
have at each other, Robin letting his little sister 
deliver half the punches.

Robin was so much fun to be around. She wished she had 
her own brother, one like Robin, one who used 
aftershave.

"You sorta like Robin, right?" noted Kara Lee while the 
glue was drying.

It's hard to hide things from friends, Nora realized, 
not realizing that her sometimes her blush might be 
hard to hide from anybody. "I guess."

"Maybe 'cause we're little to him, we don't mess up his 
life," Kara Lee's assessment.

"Why'd we mess up his life?"

"Some of his girlfriends get a little pushy, I think," 
Kara Lee guessed, harking back to who'd being doing the 
directing Jill's car. She'd listened to see if he 
skipped up the stairs after he came in. He hadn't. Next 
morning, he seemed less than exuberant. She'd have 
thought that having sex with a size 36 should have made 
him spunkier. Kara Lee had smacked him a sister's kiss 
to improve his spirits and he'd smiled back.

"Oh, I see," though Nora didn't really.

"So maybe we're safer or something," concluded the 
sister. "Anyway, he likes you 'cause you're my friend. 
His too."

The thought made Nora happy. If she couldn't have her 
own brother, her wish sort of worked out anyway.

THE THESPIAN

What Robin lacked in dramatic persuasion, he made up in 
stage presence. There were better actors for lead 
roles, but he was a crowd pleaser in a character part. 
In the Faculty Lounge, drama coach Mrs. Grule cowered 
her football counterpart into a practice schedule that 
freed Robin enough to do both.

Robin knew he had it good, missing the sideline-sitting 
drama rehearsals, Mrs. Grule reading his lines while he 
attacked tacking dummies on the turf. Nearer opening 
night, he'd learn his stage blocking.

For dress rehearsals, Jill had enough boys finding 
backstage tasks to keep her performing. She would shed 
the rest during the cast party for someone special. 
Post-game football events were usually rowdy, not wild, 
but noisy. Cast celebrations tended to be in living 
rooms, not rec rooms. Cast parties tended to have wine, 
not beer. Quieter, smaller cast parties led parents to 
think that thespians were better behaved. Perhaps. 
Footballers took their girls to cars or behind bushes; 
thespians took thespians up to a bedroom.

Jill was elsewhere. Robin found himself with Katherine 
who sipped a quarter of a wine cooler and made it known 
that now being totally drunk, she'd lost all 
inhibitions. Maybe they should find someplace quiet, 
like the guest room? Joanne, whose house they were in, 
had signaled it was empty.

There was a towel already on the chair. "Joanne says we 
have to put this under me." When he worked her off the 
towel and tried to pull it back underneath, she 
declared, "Fuck it," then giggled, "No, I mean fuck 
me." For Robin, it was better than screwing in a 
station wagon.

Back in the party afterwards, friends gave him a thumbs 
up. Katherine shuffled between him and a knot of 
whispering girls the rest of the evening. One of them 
gave him a thumbs up as well. He was looking at his 
Timex when the one who'd given him the job-well-done 
sauntered over, giggling about forgetting that it 
wasn't 7-Up in her glass. Maybe they could go where 
it's quieter? It beats standing around here, he 
decided, following her panty line back down the hall. 
"I gotta pee first," she'd informed him.

Kara Lee and Nora had been at the dressing room door 
where he'd high fived them on his way out. He wished 
they'd come along, not to drink or anything (they we're 
just little girls), but to kick back with. They weren't 
into playing roles. That little Nora was nice. A shy 
bird, one who didn't know about making passes, was OK 
with him. They'd talk about the play, maybe, not about 
playing.

The show was several days over before he crossed paths 
with his young admirer. She and his sister were on the 
porch.

"You were great, Robin," quick-smiled Nora.

"Runs in the family." Robin tried to rumple Kara Lee's 
hair. Attempted escape was thwarted by grabbing her 
around the chest. "Hollywood, may I present..." he 
boomed, then turned back to Nora, as an aside. "Mrs. 
Grule doesn't trust me with more lines than my fingers 
and toes." He paused, looking at his foot. "OK, now I'm 
to my right middle toe," and delivered a line from the 
play. All three laughed.

Still trapping his striving-to-act-irate sister, Robin 
reached over and rumpled Nora's hair. She let him. "You 
loan me your foot and I'll get a bigger part, maybe."

He pretended to suddenly realize where he was holding 
his sister. "Whoops, Hollywood. Maybe Miss Starlet 
needs a couple more years."

After her brother was inside, Kara Lee touched Nora's 
arm. "He likes you plenty."

Nora's scalp felt wonderful! She supposed so did Nora 
Lee's bust, but then, he was her brother.

GRIDIRON BANQUET

The end-of-season banquet was a gala affair. They'd 
taken District. Getting knocked out in the first round 
of State was disappointing, but the team that did it 
went on to take second. Robin was sure to pull in some 
award, awards maybe, though the committee generally 
tried to spread things around.

The problem, from Robin's position, was that it was a 
formal affair. Whomever he asked would more-or-less 
have expectations for the rest of the year. They'd be 
"steadies" without ever saying so. There'd be the 
Christmas Dance, the Prom. Some girls saw a suburban 
home and babies. If Heather, Jill, Katherine, whoever, 
weren't his date, they'd probably make a big deal about 
having giving him their everything. Why'd there have to 
be these banquets!

Seeing the two girls playing Monopoly on the dining 
room table started him thinking. "Need another player?"

"We already started, but if you want to start with 
nothing, OK."

Clobbering Robin from the start made it more fun for 
the girls. They gave no quarter when he pointed out it 
would be more even if he were given, say, the three 
remaining railroads. "Toot, toot, Charlie," ruled Nora, 
which seemed funny to all three.

After spending his Get out of Jail Free, he decided to 
see how his plan sounded.

"You two birds?"

"She's a vulture and I'm an eagle," ruled his sister.

"OK. Here's a deal. Since you're both midgets, you add 
up to one, so what if I asked if you two want to go to 
the Gridiron Banquet?"

"The football thing? It's like a big deal, isn't it?"

"Sorta."

The girls were astonished, more so when Robin added, 
"I'd have to ask because it's two of you, a double 
date, I'd tell 'em."

"Date?" Nora wondered.

"Maybe it would be boring, all that football stuff. 
Just an idea," Robin hastened to end the inspiration.

"We'll do it if we get to dress up and don't have to 
share a plate," declared Kara Lee.

The three looked at each other and beamed. There were 
by now just two railroads left, but they gave them to 
Robin to make it fairer, since they could see that he'd 
never catch up anyway.

PREPARATIONS

When Robin let it be known that he'd be bringing his 
little sister and her friend to the banquet, his 
friends thought he was joking. When they realized he 
wasn't, they thought he was actually pretty smart -- 
he'd still have most of the rally squad to screw. The 
latter thought it even cute. As a football squad vastly 
outnumbered the cheerleaders, none of them would be 
left at home, unfucked on such an important evening.

Coach was pleased, a star treating a little sister so 
nicely. Football was about character. Of course they 
wouldn't have to share a plate! Nora's folks saw it as 
doing something special with Kara Lee.

The two girls couldn't believe their fortune! For just 
one junior high girl alone, the banquet would have been 
the highest coup and the meanest message. Asked out by 
a high school football player! Sitting at a special 
table! Then everyone knowing you'd lost your virginity 
afterwards.

With two girls, the dating implication was nil. Kara 
Lee was his sister. The girls would be together. His 
classmates knew that Robin screwed girls ready for it, 
("Did you hear how long he did it to Jill in the 
garden? She got a sore butt!"), but he wasn't a creep. 
("Actually, you know what? Two punks messed with a 
ninth-grader on the bus and Robin sent them to the 
hospital!")

Nora's schoolgirl crush was being silly, she 
recognized. It was how she felt when Tommy once gave 
her a real chocolate Valentine, not one of the punch-
out paper ones. This was about a real banquet where 
she'd dress up and wear makeup, not about a boy.

Kara Lee made Robin promise to drive them, not have her 
parents to drop them off. They'd both sit in the front 
seat. Even if it weren't a date, they'd get to do it 
like one.

The two chose a tie for Robin that would look good with 
both outfits. Kara Lee had an off-yellow taffeta dress. 
Nora had her satin A-line, just worn once as a 
bridesmaid for her cousin's wedding. She'd need some 
nylons, was all. The fact that the "real" dates were 
scouring downtown for new finery escaped the younger 
pair. So did the expectation of the finery ending up 
wadded as pillows.

They kept their bra discussion out of big brother's 
ears. They agreed that showing something was part of 
being dressed up. They and their friends, the flat-
chested ones like themselves, anyway, thought nothing 
of wearing crew-necks, one downward glance revealing 
every bit of AA's and A's. That wasn't sexy because 
they weren't dressed up. It especially wasn't sexy if 
they were braless because they were still pretty flat. 
Taffeta and satin made peek-a-boo part of the effect. 
You didn't want guys looking down your dress, but if 
they did, you should look pretty.

The two ended up going to Sears together and buying 
underwire bras with barely any padding and seams that 
hardly showed. The lady said it gave them quite nice 
figures and their moms paid, moms being a sure touch 
for daughter dress up. Kara Lee said that it was good 
that Nora's straps tended to show. They should either 
show or slip for best effect.

The day before the event, Kara Lee announced, "I kiss 
Robin goodnight all the time, but tomorrow you better 
too."

What Nora didn't know was that Kara Lee told her 
brother that it didn't matter about her, since she was 
his sister, but he better give Nora a goodnight kiss if 
he expected her not to tell the folks about some of his 
girlfriends. She figured that he less she specified, 
the more he'd infer that she knew, the kind of thing a 
little sister can pull off.

BANQUET

"Like having my own brother!" thought Nora, waiting for 
Robin and Kara Lee to pick her up. Mom again helped 
make everything straight.

Robin grinned like a fool when her mom pinned the 
corsage, Nora's first ever! Kara Lee had told her he'd 
get them flowers, but Nora still thought he might not 
because this wasn't a real date.

Kara Lee sat in the middle going and Nora would get the 
middle coming back, they'd decided. The best friends 
looked so cute to each other in their dresses that they 
kissed. Pretty funny, the three realized, two girls 
kissing, going out with the same guy, but who cared? 
Robin was still grinning like he'd the whole rally 
squad in tow.

Nora knew that he could see that she was wearing hose. 
She knew that her dress made her look taller. She knew 
that he could see the fringe of her bra and how the 
wire part pushed her together a little bit. Her corsage 
sat proudly below her shoulder, not that far from the 
strap she hoped Robin also saw.

Entering the banquet, the older girls made big deals of 
taking their date's arm. Robin, fully in the spirit of 
festivity, stuck out two elbows. Nora had walked on a 
boy's arm at her cousin's wedding, so she at least knew 
how.

Robin had warned, "You birds are as tall as high 
schoolers and everybody will watch how you hobble, so 
don't," but they'd worn heels anyway. What would a guy 
know? The hobbling part was true enough to merit the 
elbow. In the crowd by the door, Nora accidentally 
bumped a breast into him, but figured he'd not noticed. 
It really was an accident, she convinced herself. Kara 
Lee had him locked against her all the time, but she 
was his sister. Siblings wrestle around all the time at 
home, Nora decided, so he'd know everything.

Seated, she at least knew the proper way to select the 
silverware. Half the team, Robin included, to her 
amusement, didn't. The seating plan was player, date, 
player, date, but with Robin's two, Nora had a girl to 
her other side. This Sarah let Nora know that Robin was 
her special friend, a better friend, it seemed to Nora, 
than was Sarah's escort. "Robin and me like going to 
the lake together." Sarah had real cleavage, not just 
boobs pushed together by a pokey wire. She'd tug her 
top down just by passing her hand over her waist, Nora 
noted, whenever Robin looked her way.

After the few minutes it took Sarah to size Nora up 
("Oh, I went to that school, but it seems so long 
ago."), the older girl seemed less in need of 
demonstrating superiority. "I like your dress. If my 
slip shows, promise to tell me?" By the time for 
awards, Sarah was telling her younger acquaintance that 
when she came to high school next year, how to decorate 
her locker. Nora made mental note.

As with the arm bit, the older girls made a big point 
of kissing their date if he won an award, "He's mine," 
the proclamation. Robin, as expected, won the Offensive 
Back Award, and then, not unexpected, the Team Leader 
Award. Both times Kara Lee gave him a big on-the-cheek 
smack and everyone cheered. After the first, Kara Lee 
puckered a signal to Nora to do it too, but Nora 
chickened out when opportunity again presented. Sarah 
seemed pleased at her demure, if Kara Lee didn't.

The Most Inspirational Player Award, as always, went to 
a flyweight who got flattened practice after practice 
and kept coming for more. During the presentation, 
Robin made sure that Sarah noticed him pretending to 
pucker his lips at Nora. Nora reddened, but then caught 
on that Robin was telling Sarah bye-bye. Afterwards in 
the hallway, Kara Lee had it figured out. "Big tit 
Sarah had to swallow more than her roast beef, right?"

Robin started laughing and then so did Nora. She'd been 
in on the inside of a joke, even! She felt sorry for 
Sarah, but maybe not too much. It made it even funnier 
when Robin puckered up again. "I was sort of hoping," 
he added, drawing out the second word, joke forgotten.

Most of the team was going to a barn party. One of the 
linesmen was a farm boy whose folks had volunteered 
their place. One rule was that anybody who smoked had 
to leave and couldn't come back. Another rule was that 
anybody who vomited couldn't do it where people walked.

Exiting, the girls could hear the players, even some of 
their dates, joshing about the In the Hay Award or 
girls getting "one good back scratching". Sarah assured 
of the latter, bid adieu with the promise that Nora too 
would be partying heavy in a year or two. If she had 
questions or anything, just ask. Nora doubted that 
Sarah would remember the offer.

Brother and sister and friend knew that the barn party 
wasn't for a trio. Nora had wondered if Robin might 
drop them and pick up somebody else to play in the hay, 
but he seemed uninterested in the event. He'd had fun 
bringing the two, he volunteered as they headed toward 
the car.

Nora could already picture Sarah at the barn, her slip 
not showing because she'd stashed it behind the 
tractor. She and Robin might themselves be heading to 
the party, but not really, as she was only 15.

But Nora didn't need a barn for her fantasies; her head 
was still swimming at being at the banquet with Kara 
Lee's brother, dressed up, accidentally bumping his 
arm. Going out, she didn't mind holding it tighter, 
more like Kara Lee. If anything, he gave her more arm 
to hang onto.

She wondered if maybe some people thought maybe it was 
Robin who pinned the corsage on her dress. She hoped 
so, as Mom had to pull the fabric out to do it. She let 
Robin's arm pass below the flower, her breast firm and 
thumping.

She hoped that somebody would notice that she was 
seated in the middle as they drove home.

Robin drove to Nora's house, still telling the girls 
how two cute chicks beat one with pompom brains. Nora 
liked being called a chick. Nora liked sitting where 
every time Robin shifted, she had to scoot to make 
room. She loved the aftershave.

As Kara Lee had instructed, Robin came around and 
opened the door. Kara Lee slipped out and then back in. 
"Remember to say goodnight."

As fully intended, both friend and brother assumed she 
was speaking to them individually. Where Kara Lee had 
never backed down was that this was going to be a real 
date.

Walking to her door, Nora wasn't bold enough to take 
Robin's arm, as Kara Lee wasn't on the other side to 
balance things. But when her heels slowed her on the 
steps, he offered it and she at took it carefully. When 
she tottered, she pulled into him until his bicep again 
met her chest, crossed to the middle and slid back. She 
was glad Mom had bought her the pretty bra, one that 
satin slipped against. She knew that she'd wanted to 
totter.

"It was really fun," Nora volunteered on the porch, 
forgetting she didn't need his arm. If anything, she 
nuzzled tighter. Before she opened the screen, they 
looked at each other. If neither had moved, neither 
would have responded. Just a hint of approach was all 
it took for the kiss that followed.

For Nora, it was instantaneous and forever. First 
kisses always are.

For Robin, it was nothing and everything. How many 
girls he had kissed, he wasn't sure. Those he'd 
screwed, he could recall. Nora had basically pecked and 
pulled back. He was happy just feeling the little bit 
of her. What would mouth-work add? Nothing. Nora was 
sweet. He'd pounded those guys that bugged her.

Kara Lee was waiting for him in the car. "Thanks for 
bringing her. For kissing her, I mean. It was good, 
wasn't it?"

His sister's insight surprised him. "Thanks for getting 
her to go."

"We're not fast like cheerleaders."

"That's why I said thanks. You get a kiss too. It's 
simpler when you're 15 still."

"Wish I were 18."

Robin looked at his sibling for a moment. "You can't 
tell from your window.

"She looked like a basketball being dribbled," 
reflected the observant one.

Kara Lee knew her brother noticed when she'd wear Dad's 
old shirts for pajamas. It wasn't a big deal that her 
brother knew a little. She clutched against him at the 
banquet to get him thinking about his other arm, she'd 
told herself at the time. But it was nice for her too. 
It was sexier, she thought, than in Dad's discarded 
button-down collar with the missing buttons.

That night Nora thought of Robin's kiss, Robin thought 
of tentative breasts and Kara Lee thought of wresting 
her brother when their folks weren't around.

Snuggled in her own bed, Kara Lee waited for the faint 
squeaks from Robin's before reaching down. She and Nora 
had never talked about "petting the bunny", what some 
girls at school called it, but she wondered what the 
evening would have done to her best friend.

Next day, not in her dress-up dress, Nora foresaw the 
inevitable. She'd be just another little sister's 
playmate. Robin with his sports wouldn't have that much 
time to hang around the house. They'd still chat, Nora 
supposed, but she wasn't that sure what they'd talk 
about except his teams. Even then, she wouldn't know 
enough not to sound stupid.

UNIVERSITY

Four years can fly right by for a girl. High school 
never seemed brief from within, but afterwards, Nora 
realized how quickly it went. Her junior year, she 
decided to become a nurse. Dad said she'd always have a 
job. Mom noted that she'd always be told what to do; 
girls could be doctors too. Nora wasn't sure which, so 
took the hard classes, just in case.

As Nora and Kara Lee entered high school when Robin 
left for college, Nora's crush of course outgrew 
itself. Their "double date" remained a great story, 
especially Kara Lee's orchestration of their goodnight 
kiss. Nora still remembered walking on his arm.

More or less in cahoots with Kara Lee, she'd had her 
fun. Kara Lee kissed and Nora kissed. Kara Lee got 
frenched and Nora got frenched. Kara Lee got felt up 
and Nora got felt up. Kara Lee felt a guy's boner with 
her thigh and Nora felt a guy's boner with her thigh. 
Kara Lee got dry fucked and Nora got dry fucked. Kara 
Lee was first, the only difference. Sometimes at the 
Roxie they'd sit close enough to signal who was to what 
base. Neither girl wanted to go all the way and neither 
moved in the crowd that would make her. Nora was in the 
band; Kara Lee, chorus. Neither was a cheerleader.

Nora and Kara Lee decided about college separately, but 
together chose Nebraska. Nora planned see how pre-med 
seemed. If it didn't suit her, she'd be on track for 
nursing. Since she didn't like the idea of uniforms, 
perhaps she'd already decided. Kara Lee liked Library 
Science, being at a neat desk and helping people find 
information. Kara Lee liked Nebraska because her 
brother was a Cornhusker, not first string, but with 
lots of playing time. The stadium held more people than 
lived in their entire town!

The two friends roomed together. Next year they could 
move to a sorority if that was what they wanted, but 
neither did. Once Nora saw Sarah, the girl she sat by 
at the banquet, walking on campus. Sarah didn't 
recognize Nora, to the latter's relief. A fraternity 
pin advertised "her twin qualifications for dating a 
Greek", Nora told Kara Lee.

Nora would watch Robin from the stands, one red jersey 
among a hundred, but she'd know by the way he stood, 
hand on hip. When the announcer would say his name, she 
remembered being a ninth grader. She and Kara Lee let 
those seated about them know whose brother the player 
was.

If they passed on campus, at least Robin was friendly. 
He'd usually be in a crowd and maybe she wouldn't, but 
he'd still break away to say hi. Three times Nora had 
gone with Kara Lee to his fraternity house to deliver 
something sent from home. One time he'd sat with them 
in the front lounge and got them cocoa from the 
kitchen.

Once, when Nora showed him the biology book she was 
lugging, he said that she better be a doctor, that she 
was smart enough. "Maybe a surgeon, because they don't 
allow high heels in the operating room." They laughed, 
just like back when. He remembers the banquet, Nora 
thought, blushing ninth-grade style. It's so silly; all 
that happened was a tiny kiss.

Nora told Kara Lee about the high heel laugh. "You bet 
he remembers," agreed her friend, recalling the squeak 
of Robin's bed. He'd brought himself on so slowly that 
night, his sister thought, just how she'd do it were 
she replaying every moment. Why hadn't her dummy 
brother ever asked Nora out again, even if she were 
just in ninth? He'd liked her as a real person, not for 
her tits, like those girls he parked with. Guys can be 
so stupid! Too bad they can't see what sisters can.

But maybe it was for the best, she rationalized. Had 
Robin taken Nora out, she wouldn't have had a clue 
about protecting herself. They might have gone to the 
Roxie and Robin forgotten that she was little. A sister 
couldn't stop things sometimes. Ninth-graders who dated 
high schoolers sometimes missed their periods.

TOGA TIME

Toga Time at Robin's house was an event famous across 
campus. Everybody wore sheets and garlands. There was a 
punch bowl for the faculty advisor to taste (he knew to 
leave by 9:00) and another with the real stuff. If a 
girl had no underwear, she'd hold her goblet in her 
left hand. To get onto the orgy room, you knocked twice 
and then three times. The grape eating contest was 
really where coeds would put a guy's balls in their 
mouth! The Brother having sex with the most sorority 
coeds got to be the house president. Rumors became 
legends.

Nora and Kara Lee knew that most of the hype was just 
imagination, but everybody agreed that fraternities had 
fuck rooms in their basements. Some said that 
sororities did too, but they changed the sheets. Nora 
might want to make love if she met the right guy 
someday, but in a room named for it?

When Robin said that they could come over in the 
afternoon to help decorate the Greek columns and Roman 
fountain, the girls were delighted. Nobody from their 
dorm was going to the real party, so they'd be the 
experts, at least on the layout.

The pledges had spent all night draping walls, turning 
old bathtubs into goldfish ponds, fabricating palm 
branches to wave before royalty, and down the list of 
transformations. There wasn't actually that much left 
to decorate. Robin showed them where the Golden Harp 
would sit, though he admitted that it was actually 
broken. No matter. Only Brothers could touch it.

Alcohol was already flowing, anticipated debauchery 
exciting tractable imaginations. As the two were 
leaving, having sampled the Coliseum Master's grape 
basket, Robin caught up. "It gets kinda raunchy toward 
the end sometimes, but if you two want to come back for 
just the start, I'll tell the guys at the door. You'll 
be OK, I promise, being my sister and everything. But 
you two birds can't stay long, you gotta promise. And 
stay together."

The two looked at each other. There was no question 
what the last bit was about. Robin wasn't laughing when 
he added it. Nobody used the word "rape", but any girl 
who came knew she'd be thought to be asking for it. 
There was a story that the pledges were sent to catch a 
girl for the Pledgemaster.

"Just wrap a sheet around what you're wearing now. That 
stuff about underneath is stupid," Robin paused, goblet 
in hand, "for almost everybody. Find me and don't drink 
anything but from the front punch bowl." He thought 
some more. "Maybe wear old sheets, though, in case 
somebody spills punch on you."

Afterwards, Kara Lee was a bit put off by the 
condensation. She and Nora had been further than he 
might realize! Like they needed to be told about the 
booze! Just because they chose not to fuck around like 
him and his rah-rah bimbos! They'd done the Roxie. 
They'd just left the mess in the guy's pants was the 
only difference.

The two would be there. The whole dorm would be waiting 
for their report.

BACCHUS SANS VENUS

Slipping into the melee, nobody even asked if they were 
invited. Girl gatecrashers didn't seem unwanted. Maybe 
the fraternity invited extra girls, Nora wondered, for 
their fuck room. The sheets had seemed ridiculous when 
she and Kara Lee practiced in their room, but here 
everybody looked ridiculous.

They hadn't wanted to come too early, where they might 
stick out. The music was a Four Freshmen LP, not Roman. 
Nora could tell which girls were topless underneath. 
Lots, actually. One girl, smiling as if on camera, let 
a Roman guard squirt his wineskin on her front until 
the cotton clung around her nipples.

Kara Lee filled her cup from a back punch bowl, but 
Nora stayed with Robin's instruction. She knew that 
Kara Lee wouldn't drink too much, but even still, Nora 
didn't want to get buzzy. When at last they saw Robin 
brandishing some sort of trophy on the stair steps, he 
waved at them. Nora waved back, that she was having a 
good time.

She knew most of the Greek Letters. There on the 
banner: phi, omega, rho, nu, iota, kappa alpha, tau, 
epsilon. "Fornicate," she sounded out, sophomoric even 
to a freshman. Unless you wanted to get drunk, she 
supposed, this gala wasn't that interesting after you 
looked at the decorations and they'd done that in the 
afternoon. Hardly anybody was just talking. Of those 
who were, none were in classes she had, so what would 
they talk about?

Dancing appeared to be for thighing crotches. Maybe if 
she knew the guy, she would, since she'd done it in 
high school, but she didn't really know anybody. A 
blond slave got Kara Lee on the dance floor and was 
giving her some signals, but then another whom Nora 
recognized as a house officer pulled the first one 
aside.

"Crapola," said Kara Lee, again boyless, "I'll bet he 
told that I was Robin's sister. He was getting nice and 
stiff."

"Two less lovers lined up for the basement," suggested 
Nora.

"No way. 'Bout had him right there in his toga sheet."

Emboldened guys casually touched coed's backs for bra 
straps. Discerning that the two weren't ready to 
untoga, they moved on.

A knot of inebriants was inventing a game in which a 
girl would secret an olive somewhere on her person and 
the boys would have to locate it. A boy would do the 
same for the girls. "Ohmygod! He's got three!" in 
shrieked revelry. Kara Lee figured they could invite 
themselves in, females being the minority, but Nora 
thought better of being wholesale mauled.

A girl was telling a joke. "So the boss says, 'Sally, 
you'll need to mate me at 2:55 to review the procedure 
for my 3:00 mating with Mrs. McGillicutty.' And the 
secretary says, 'Like we're doing now, but if you want 
to get the contract, give her ten.'" Lame, thought 
Nora, "mate" where it should have been "meet". Maybe 
she missed the punch line.

Toga Time review, thought Nora: worth seeing, worth 
telling about, but not worth staying for. Kara Lee had 
been beside her, but was now talking with some of her 
brother's friends. Nora waved, let's get out of here.

Kara Lee looked around, bobbed her head in agreement, 
got drawn back into the conversation and finally broke 
free for just enough time to say, "Gotcha. Go find 
Robin so he'll know."

Nora nodded, glad for purpose. She checked the kitchen, 
the dining room, the porch, wherever partygoers had 
migrated. Nobody seemed to know, but a girl abandoned 
by the fireplace thought maybe some potheads were 
tripping out upstairs.

Robin might do drugs, Nora supposed. He shouldn't, but 
it wasn't her business. She'd just not notice. Up the 
stairs it did smell of fumes not unknown in Nora's 
dorm. Several indulgers palmed their joints long enough 
to assess that she wasn't the law.

"Just looking for Robin," uncomfortable being there.

"Want a toke?" offered a Roman gladiator. When she 
shook her head, "How 'bout a fig, then?" offering a 
platter. She accepted. He tipped his head down the hall 
behind. "Round the corner a while ago."

"Thanks," stepping over his sword.

"Come on back after you find him. Weed makes figs taste 
better." She didn't do that stuff, but at least the 
smoker had something to do. Plus he shared.

Turning the corridor, Nora entered a different party.

She passed a threesome, two guys and a coed. The 
turbaned male was armlocking his captive from behind, 
trying to pour a drink down her mouth. Her top was 
open, her breasts no larger than Nora's. The other was 
painting her chest with what looked to be finger paint, 
red. Nora couldn't tell if her twists were in 
provocation or in struggle, but her eyes were dulled in 
confusion. Nora didn't want to know.

She pushed onward amidst bodies humping under sheets, 
furious as if in a race. Others were watching, 
chortling, prodding. Before she could avert her stare, 
Nora saw an erect penis and a girl who'd shaved her 
pubic hair. She told herself that it would be normal to 
see such things in the medical field, but she still 
felt ill.

Maybe this place didn't have a fuck room where brothers 
could take their date for private sex. It had a hall 
where they did it in public. She wanted to run, but 
knew she'd falter. She saw herself falling into the 
abyss, unable to push naked revelers off her. They'd 
paint her front because she'd ventured around the 
corner. They'd...

Turning to escape, Nora stumbled around a threesome - a 
boy and two girls, one still more-or-less a Cleopatra, 
the other in half-slip and bra.

Nora froze. The boy was Robin.

"Romeo, where are thou," the semi naked one was 
orating, her cheek on Robin's lap. All three seemed to 
be smashed, alcohol or marijuana, Nora wouldn't know 
which. "My Romeo!" purred the mouth to the bulge under 
his toga. Cleopatra was waving a pair of boxers for the 
hall's perusal, evidence of their progress.

The determined girl saw Nora, "His name is really 
Robbie." Her hand was under the sheet, stroking. "And 
this is my little Romeo. Maybe it needs a little kiss 
or something?"

Robin's eyes spoke less of intoxication than of slurred 
humiliation.

The seductress pulled the sheet enough to see his 
matted pubic hair. Had someone poured a drink on him 
too, Nora wondered. The vamp exposed his penis, not 
erect, but large, and wagged it. "Oh, Juliet," she 
spoke its lines. "Let down your hair," confusing 
classic with fairy tale.

"Just shoot the asshole and we'll find a harder one," 
suggested the other. "Anybody think football guy can 
hit the wall?" competing for an audience.

"Nora?" Robin looked straight at her.

"Who's she?" asked the dressed one, dropping the 
underpants as she would a soiled rag.

"I'm his sister and you leave him the fuck alone," Nora 
declared without realizing that she'd used the "f" word 
and she wasn't his sister.

The one making Robin erect raised her head, "Well he 
never said no," then added in petulant explanation, 
"It's not our fault he can't hold his booze worth 
shit."

"Nora?" Robin gagged.

Had these girls no shame, Nora wondered? "Just let him 
vomit."

The two left, the one in just underwear straightening 
her hair.

"Kara Lee wouldn't have let them fuck you out here." 
She doubted that Robin understood, but he pulled the 
sheet over his middle.

A girl behind Nora was climaxing, spread legged and 
grim faced beneath a fat boy. Her face was flushed, but 
her breasts were pale. The entourage had pulled off 
their cover to watch his testicles. "She's in Home Ec, 
so we're making her a mommy," a less-fat boy declared.

An inebriant clasped Nora's calf, but Nora shook him 
off. She'd not stumble. The disgust of a freshman girl 
sent copulating upper-classmen scooting out of her 
path.

On her way out, Nora passed the finger-painted girl 
huddled against the wall. From the side, Nora at first 
couldn't tell if she was in panties or if it was paint 
smeared on her hip. It was paint. Nora tossed the coed 
her sheet. "Get out of here before they find their 
friends."

Bus 6 came to her memory. She stood the shivering coed, 
wrapped her in the sheet and led her downstairs. The 
paint made the sheet stick to the girl's flesh. Helping 
somebody helped Nora feel less ill.

The bored girl by the fireplace said the painted one 
was a Tri Delt and she'd be glad for the excuse to help 
her to her sorority. Nora heard her say, "Fuck you" to 
the boys by the door when they objected that she'd 
given the drunk one somebody else's shoes.

Nora was crying when she pulled Kara Lee away. "They 
were going to make him have sex right there in the 
hall."

Kara Lee wanted to go back and get the girls, but Nora 
said no. Robin had seen her and she didn't want to see 
him.

Back in the dorm, the two reported a few aspects of 
Toga Time, but without the enthusiasm the other girls 
expected. A few girls seemed to already know the rest.

WALKING TO HISTORY

Nora figured she'd see no more of Robin. Kara Lee had 
seen him in the Union, but siblings have to work things 
out. Nora didn't have anything to say, anyway. Probably 
that girl getting painted wanted them to bring their 
friends. Probably the Home Ec girl wasn't being raped; 
it was the guy she was engaged to. Probably Nora had 
just wrecked things for Robin in his fraternity, crying 
at a party she shouldn't have even been to. He probably 
had sex all the time with lots of sorority girls and 
she'd messed it up. Probably she should be a nurse 
because he'd said doctor.

Kara Lee didn't bug her about it. If anything, Kara Lee 
tried to be nicer. She'd held Nora's hand when they'd 
walked home.

So back to the books.

On Friday, however, Kara Lee announced, "Got your 
mittens?"

"Huhh?"

"For the game. It's going to be freezing."

"Gotta study."

"Nora, that's stupid. It's Robin, right?"

"Maybe."

"He says thanks."

"Oh."

"Like when you told him thanks. You evened it up, 
maybe."

"Oh."

"We won't see him after the game. They have State Cops 
around the field."

The Huskers lost, Robin adding but 23 yards to total. 
Life in Nebraska isn't accustomed to such Saturdays.

On Wednesday, Kara Lee caught Nora before chemistry 
lecture. "Be here on the steps by the bike rack. When 
you get out."

"What for?"

"Because I said so."

Robin was standing by the bicycles. "Hi, Nora," looking 
at her loafers.

"Sorry about the game."

He grimaced, glad for the delay. "Wish that's how Coach 
put it." He looked around. "Walk you to your next 
class?" and turned toward History of Western Civ 
without waiting for agreement.

How does he know where, Nora asked herself?

"I told Kara Lee to tell you thanks, but she said I had 
to."

"OK."

"She said she wanted to bust those two, but you didn't. 
That's the difference, me and you."

"You did it because I wasn't experienced."

Robin stopped walking. "So why bother about me? I can 
look out for myself."

She thought a moment. "Kind of a joke date back then, I 
guess. Me all dressed up. Puppy love, we'll call it." 
Better left at that. Nora smiled for just a moment, her 
ninth-grade flash.

"You were the prettiest one," Robin added without 
enough time to fabricate an untruth.

"Hanging on your arm was a big enough deal for me."

Robin recalled, "Me too. It was more than you just 
being pretty, though." They crossed at the crosswalk. 
"They had a party afterwards that I didn't want you to 
go to."

"We knew. In a barn."

"I didn't go."

"That once." Nora swallowed the bitter taste of togas. 
The two were at History already.

"The way you saw me..." Robin stalled.

"It doesn't matter," Nora lied.

"Makes me see myself."

Nora reflected. "Your choice, Robin."

"I chose wrong," he admitted. "Maybe there was a reason 
that once," he tried, but couldn't continue. They stood 
a moment. "So Nora? This is pretty weird, just an idea, 
I guess."

"What?"

"You two go with me to the Cornhusker Banquet. Coach 
already said I could. He likes the idea of having 
little sisters there and everything."

"So I'm not your little sister."

"That's my point. Maybe that's about the reason."

"I don't know," but she took his arm as the steps to 
the Lecture Hall were steep. Could he feel her heart 
beat? "Maybe we're busy or something."

"Kara Lee said you'd wear matching red scarves, even if 
she hates the color."

CORNHUSKER BANQUET

Kara Lee and Nora were seated on the same sides of 
Robin as when they were 15. It seemed to be the same 
menu, roast beef being traditional to football players. 
Differences included not a padded bra, not three in the 
front seat (Kara Lee slipped in the back), garish red 
scarves and no heels. Both took an arm anyway.

Nora couldn't tell, but Kara Lee could - Robin was 
happier tonight than after any score he'd ever made.

Another difference for Nora was sitting next to a 
potential donor who liked her neckline. He'd seemed 
surprised when Nora said pre-med, but then justified 
that he supported football because Nebraska was top-
notch in academics. She should be a hand surgeon 
because she'd have the fine-motor skill for fixing 
tendons. Afterwards, Kara Lee noted how the benefactors 
were seated beside pretty coeds. The players likely to 
drop out after the bowl game were parked further away.

There was no after-party. Nora figured that in college, 
everybody probably just went to an apartment, a motel, 
a fuck room, if you like, and had sex without getting 
hay in their clothes. It wasn't her issue.

The three drove back to the dorm. In the turnaround, 
Kara Lee leaned over the seat and planted a lipsticky 
smack on her brother's cheek. "One date every four 
years makes it maybe a dozen more before we die," she 
cheerfully calculated. Then to Nora, "That's my 
goodnight kiss to him," emphasizing the "my".

It was as much a date as the one before, anyway. She 
didn't dislike Robin or anything. He was her best 
friend's brother. She'd just come along on a whim. 
Anybody would have wanted to go to the banquet. He had 
his life; she had hers.

But she still turned toward Robin a little, enough, she 
hoped, to not look like she'd forgotten that other 
banquet.

Little sister interrupted. "Time for me to say 
goodnight. You two are about four years behind. So 
Nora, tell him where you went to high school. And 
Robin, tell her that you know about electrical 
transformers or something." Kara Lee hopped out 
triumphant. She didn't need physical evidence.

They watched her till she was through the double door.

"I mean, maybe things are different," ventured Robin, 
still watching.

"Maybe. I was in the band," Nora heard her voice racing 
for a diversion, "and got to co-direct part of a march 
at graduation. And I did lights for the plays."

Robin turned. "Sophomore year, I quick kicked against 
Oklahoma and they didn't have a clue. 40 yards and it 
rolled another 15."

"Is that good?"

For Robin, their kiss was nothing and everything. It 
was nothing because she was out the door before he 
could catch her. It was everything, because everything 
was before them.

For Nora, their kiss was instantaneous and forever. 
First kisses, second time around, always are.

Kara Lee was pretending to be already asleep in case 
Nora didn't want to talk, so Nora had to also pretend 
and shake her. As soon as they quit pretending, they 
sat on Kara Lee's bed, knees touching.

"He kissed me!"

"Duhh."

"For real, I mean!"

"Like I'm not three pages ahead of him? You too, maybe, 
turtle dove."

"We didn't do anything else," Nora not doubting Kara 
Lee about the pages ahead.

"Duhh."

"You think?"

"Until it's right for you. I almost saw his cock once, 
you know?"

"Pervert! Not that."

"Well you got to see it when those two got him naked at 
that party."

"He wasn't all the way naked."

"When I got to be the nurse, sometimes I'd poke it, 
but, like I said, you saw it." She turned serious. 
"About love? Sometimes it just takes a few years for 
the obvious to get that way to guys. That's why half 
brains, I mean halfbacks, need sisters." She brightened 
up. "Back then, I thought it was because he had to pee 
really bad."

CHRISTMAS BREAK

Robin had never waited for much as his sister saw it, 
but she deemed that Nora's first time shouldn't be in a 
back seat, on a blanket in some freezing park or at 
some scummy motel. Robin happened to remember a big 
four-poster bed in the basement of his fraternity. They 
could have it all night because he was a senior, 
confirming what everyone said about fraternities. Not 
that way, advised Kara Lee, though she agreed that the 
old double switcheroo, how a dormie stayed out till the 
next morning, would have been a snap.

It was Kara Lee who decided on waiting till Christmas 
when they'd all be home. Roomies know each other's 
periods like their own and that worked out like the 
Pope advised. Not revealing that Nora knew how to dry 
fuck, Kara Lee advised her brother to employ the 
intervening weeks to little-by-little guide her along 
the path. "Don't go giving her the cross-chest carry 
right away, how you bully me like a big meanie."

"My Boy Scout lifesaving merit badge said, Reach, 
Throw, Row, and Go," brother flashed back with sister.

"Oh. Help! Help! I'm... blub, blub!" flinging up her 
elbows so he'd reach underneath the way he'd always 
known she liked.

She likewise suggested to Nora that she not surrender 
too easily. "Genetically small like ours, their per-
inch price goes up. Let him show you how he earned his 
walking-old-ladies-across-the-street merit badge a 
bunch of times. Or was it walking-such-innocent-girls-
to-the-gorilla-banquet one?"

The lovebirds could prove it on Kara Lee's own bed, she 
offered. Robin's had too much of a squeak, she'd told 
them both, probably more with the weight of two than 
just him working alone. Little sisters miss few 
opportunities to reinforce their leadership.

Christmas break, Nora came over to spend the night. 
"Just like when we were in junior high," Kara Lee told 
her mother. "We have our dolls, even," not mentioning 
the extra sheets. Nora wasn't sure about which 
nightgown, but Kara Lee said that her robin-egg blue 
was perfect because he was Robin. "Anyway, you won't 
wear it for long."

Kara Lee told her friend Nora the story about when she 
was about nine and fell off her bicycle and scraped her 
knee. Robin knew exactly what to do from first aid in 
Scouts. What she remembered best, though, was how 
gentle he'd been, holding her hand so it wouldn't hurt. 
He'd be that gentle.

Kara Lee slipped into an old shirt of her dad's and 
went to fetch her brother after their folks were 
asleep. She told Nora that she'd make Robin wait 5 
minutes because it would be good for him. Little 
sisters know these things.

She made it 10 for good measure, hushing his mouth with 
one forefinger and painting a swab of aftershave on his 
cheek with the other. Rather than pointing him to her 
door, however, she backed him against the wall and held 
his palm to her breast until his fingers engaged her 
nipple on their own volition. Little sisters like it 
too.

His erection, taut within his pajamas, caught between 
her legs, cotton the only obstacle between thrust and 
parted thighs. She let him reciprocate, unspoken and 
physical. Little sisters can't deny that part either.

"Robin," her eyes spoke silently, "She loves you. 
That's the reason." Kara Lee knew he'd realized in Nora 
what he'd never found in lesser girls. And she knew her 
own arousal was such that if backed onto his bed, she'd 
wantonly succumb. She couldn't tell him whom to choose. 
Little sisters can't decide for big brothers.

The siblings made love without coupling, without 
orgasm. Little sisters can love their brothers that 
much.

Then she kissed him, another kind of moisture. He was 
ready for Nora. Nora was ready for him. Little sisters 
instruct without words.

After Kara Lee and her brother exchanged rooms, Kara 
Lee heard the squeaks from her own bed. She'd been the 
first to do about everything that she and her best 
friend did. Nora needed to be first with this one, 
though. The squeaks cadenced slowly for the longest 
time before the final sprint. Then the quiet. She'd 
told Nora to hold him motionless afterwards to let him 
feel her contractions. Little sisters realize the power 
of stillness.

Kara Lee knew that Nora and Robin were holding hands 
under the breakfast table. Nora's little smile kept 
popping out at moments as odd as, "Pass the Cornflakes, 
will you?" Robin's eyes hardly left her friend. He 
didn't look like a Cornhusker halfback. He didn't look 
like a regular-old-sleepy-in-the-morning brother. He'd 
found his nest.

DONALDSON AND VANDERPOOL, PC

Nora's in practice now, Donaldson and Vanderpool, PC, 
Hand and Extremity Surgeons. "I can't help you play the 
clarinet better, but we'll do our best so you can play 
it like before," Dr. Vanderpool tells her patients, 
most who need a moment to see the point.

Her partner, Mathew Donaldson, MD, is African American. 
Though they didn't know each other in their formative 
years, they both rode Bus 6 Wednesday afternoons. Small 
world. Woodwinds never worked out for her, just as 
boxing never got Mathew where his dad had hoped. So 
they fix peoples' hands instead.

Big things happen like integrating the buses. Big 
things happen like love.

Nora and Robin haven't missed the Cornhuskers at home 
in 17 years. Because of the disposable income 
associated with her profession, they fly on the Husker 
charter to bowl games.

Kara Lee always stays with Nora and Robin when she's in 
Lincoln, but that's not often. As she tells her 
brother, "I screw the Democrats every day. We two just 
love each other another way, right?" She works for the 
Republican National Committee.
