This happened a long, long time ago, summer of 1970. I had graduated college in March, and my friend Brenda graduated in June. I hadn’t had any luck in my job search, but Brenda had landed a teaching job in a suburb of Chicago.she and her mother had been looking for an apartment there and found a nice one, but she was short in time to move due to some training she had to start in two weeks.

Brenda and I had been friends since kindergarten. there was never any physical attraction between us, although I am not sure why. I had girlfriends and she had boyfriends, so we were mainly pals. She was petite and cute-dark hair, and brown eyes. I imagined that we were probably on a par with sexual experience.
