june 6th, 1983

School was finally out and I'm out of jail for the next 3 months until my prison sentence starts back around in August. School was such a bust.

I'm Miranda I like all things wild.  You will only be young once and you gotta make the most of it. I'm into rock bands and stuff like that. One of my good friends Kurt has an amazing voice, very raspy. He writes songs. We were gonna start a band together but I don't wanna leave Seattle like when we go on the road. There is just something about this place that makes me feel safe.

*************************

I almost had to be sprinting out of the class room when I heard the bell ring. I looked around the hallways for Kurt, when I finally found him I grabbed his arm and ran out the front doors of the school. "FREE!" I screamed on the top of my lungs. Kurt just laughed. I threw on my sunglasses and took a deep breathe in too smell the summer air. "I love summer" Kurt said laughing as he put his arm around my shoulder. "me too" I said.

Kurt and I are just friends. The people that ran the yearbook were gonna put us in as 'Best Couple' just because we hang around each other all the time. Don't get me wrong Kurt is attractive, but I love him as a friend. "hey, Miranda I better get home before my mother starts going at me again, I will call you later" He said and ran off. I shrugged and made my way down to the record store.

As I walked into the record store I heard the little bell ring. There was a boy flipping through a magazine at the register. He looked up at me and I smiled. 'I think he goes to my school' I thought. I was looking through the records and came across one I wanted. I looked around to see if that boy was looking, but he went into the back. So I slipped the record into my backpack. I looked around again and just as I turned around the boy was coming out from the back.

"can I help you with anything" he asked politely. "no thanks, I'm just looking" I responded. "hey, why don't I show you something in the back" he asked flirtatiously. "okay, Corey" I said as I read his name tag. He led me into this back door just as I turned around he slammed the door in my face. "Hey! what do you think your doing" I yelled.

"that should teach you not to steal, I'm calling the cops" he said on the other side of the door. Oh great just what I needed. It was the first day of summer and I am already in trouble. My dad is going to kill me. "please don't I will give the record back" I said.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A couple hours had past and I was still sitting in this room. I heard the door unlock. "your free" Corey said. "wait, why are you letting me go" I said as I walked out and turned to face him. "I don't know, you look too innocent" he answered and walked behind the counter. I followed him up to the register. "what do you mean?" I asked. "I can see it in your wandering eyes" he said. "like the way you stole that record, you looked around to see if anyone was looking".

I stared into his soulful eyes. "yeah, right" I said dragging my words. "I'm serious like if your gonna steal something you gotta do it right, here I will show ya" he said as he turned around to the records. "you brows with your right hand and slip the record in with you left" he said and smiled. I looked around the store. "see there you go again with your wandering eyes" he laughed. "why do you care so much" I asked him. "I think your a nice girl and could use the help" he said and went back around the counter.

"well I guess I will see you later" I said and walked out. I heard the bell on the door ring again and I turned around to see Corey. "hey you forgot this" he said and jogged to me with a bag and a record inside of it. "thanks so much for this and not calling the cops" I said and then I blushed. "no problem..." he paused waiting for my name. "Miranda" I said. "Miranda" he smiled and walked back into the store.
