Caroline was glad her date had not given her any static tonight. They had been at the party for only an hour when she told Frank she had an awful headache and needed to go home.
She could not recall a time when she felt happy in a crowd and most of the time she avoided them. Caroline was a beautiful young lady and many men jumped at a chance to date her.
This year should have been the happiest time of her life. She graduated from high school a few months ago and was due to leave soon to attend college.
Caroline was an only child and her parents doted on her. They bought her all the things money could buy.
Mr. and Mrs. Hampton had gone to Florida for the weekend and Caroline had the huge house all to herself. She felt sad and happy both at the same time. Times like tonight was when she desired to be alone.
She rose from the chair where she had been sitting and made her way to her bathroom. Quickly, she removed her clothing and stood there for a moment looking at the old scars on her upper thighs. With a deep sigh, she took the knife and thought of the pleasurable pain it gave her as she slowly ran the sharp blade against the flesh on her leg.
Some pains are hard to explain and even harder to see.
The blood began to trickle down her leg bringing a morbid type of relief for a little while. It was getting harder and harder to keep her secret.
Traditions

Larry was proud of the fact that his grandfather, his father and also his oldest brother had gone to the Naval Academy.
He was always fed the idea that it would be expected for him to follow in their footsteps.
From the time Larry was five years old and received his first guitar, he knew he loved music. He was so happy when his mother paid for him to get musical lessons.
Tomorrow Larry would finish high school with honors and it meant the moment was coming which he dreaded.
Larry`s parents were at the ceremony and told him that they had a special surprise waiting for him and they would tell him all about it after they returned home.
It was with a bit of dread that Larry walked in the door at his home. His parents were waiting for him in the living room and asked him to come and sit down.
Larry`s dad spoke first and he told him that it was no secret from him about Larry`s love of music. He also said that it had been a long tradition for the men in the family to serve in the Navy.
Larry could hardly believe his ears with the next words from his daddy. He said that he had put in an application in one of the best musical colleges and due to Larry`s grade scores, he qualified for a free grant to go study music.
It was like a dream come true for Larry to be able to follow his love of music with his parents blessing.
He felt like dancing and shouting the news to the world.
Going To The Prom

Mike was so excited because Marie had agreed to go to the prom with him. He had been with very few girls in the past and it was on a dare from some of his buddies which made him ask Marie to be his prom date. The big shock to him was she accepted.
Mike was a shy fellow and had admired Marie from the sidelines since they were in grade school. She had a busy social life and seemed so sure of herself in all things where as Mike had never had the nerve to talk with her.
Most all of the fellows were ordering limos to drive them and their dates to the prom but Mike wanted to do something different. He knew how Marie loved horses and he had found a fellow who owned a horse and carriage which he agreed to drive for the whole evening on prom night.
Marie was happy Mike had finally asked her for a date. She had smiled his way many times but he just did not pick up the come on clue from her. It was not that she had any problems getting dates but it just seemed most all the guys were the same and she wanted something different.
The other fellows had laughed at Mike when he told them his plans for prom night but that did not matter to him.
Prom night finally arrived and Mike could hardly wait to see Marie`s face when she saw their ride. He hurried to the porch and rang the doorbell.
Marie`s father opened the door and greeted Mike. He had heard about this fellow from his daughter and was glad he was going to escort Marie to the prom.
In a few moments, Marie came down the stairs. Her beauty almost over-whelmed Mike. He gave her a flower and they opened to door to leave.
The delighted look on Marie`s face told Mike he had chosen well and they both hurried to the waiting carriage to go to the prom. She was even more pleased when Mike told her he had engaged the carriage for the whole evening after the prom dance.
