Be My Be My Be My Little AB Scene 81

Being attended to by two lovely girls awakened another memory, this time from kindergarten. At “nap time,” as the teacher dimmed the lights and the pupils unrolled the resting mats that each had been required to bring to school, one of Kim’s best friends and one of the most popular boys in the class, Jim Gilliam, dragged his mat over to lie next to Kim. Although talking was forbidden during nap time, the teacher frequently became inattentive and the kids could get away with some screwing around. Kim’s hopes of plotting recess antics with Jim were dashed, however, when two of the prettiest girls in the class (although it seemed weird to Kim now that the concepts of popularity and beauty had significance even in kindergarten, that was definitely how he remembered it), Nancy Stringer and Marcia Baker, placed their mats on either side of Jim’s.
