How I Paid For College: A Novel Of Sex, Theft, Friendship & Musical Theater - Plot & Excerpts
We need a car, and fast. Natie and I intrude on four different science classrooms before we finally find Doug, who looks relieved to have any excuse to get out of Mr. Nelson's treacherously dull chemistry class. The three of us run all the way to Doug's house to get his old Chevy. Or perhaps I should say Doug and I run all the way to his house to get his old Chevy, then double back to pick up Natie, who's lagging behind like the Poky Little Puppy. I'm not convinced, however, that Doug's tin can of a car is actually capable of getting us there, but it's the best we have, so I caress what's left of the dashboard as we drive, trying to coerce the old girl to make it just a little bit farther, baby, just a little bit farther. Since I flat-out told Laurel Watkins on the phone that I was eligible for the scholarship, you'd think she and Dagmar would have put two and two together and come after me instead of Aunt Glo. What's more, I'm amazed at the swift arm of justice. I don't remember Aunt Glo actually mentioning to Laurel Watkins where she lived, so I'm not sure how they found her so fast.
