The blonde: In the fall of my junior year, I was a cheerleader practicing on the football field one afternoon. Nearby was a group of girls getting ready for the annual powder-puff bowl game. When practice was over, two girls asked if they could practice their blocking on me. It was a joyful experience, especially since one of the girls, a blonde, was very attractive.
The friend: On a trip to Buffalo Lake in Harnett County in the summer of 2003, a friend introduced me to her boyfriend's friend, Grant. I was three months out of a bad relationship and wanted to focus on my friends and having fun when I went back to school at UNCWilmington. So I kept in touch with Grant just as a friend, mostly through instant messaging.
