Artifacts (a serialized story part 59) That day and each of the next three, were the same: Kerry met the guy, they walked and talked, and then he left and she walked home. Aaron had not talked to her since running into her that day, but what he did see of her around school was that she seemed happier. She didn't scowl her way around, she talked to people who talked to her, and if she wasn't quite the Kerry he thought he knew she was close. Could it be that guy making her happy? They didn't look like they were dating...Aaron hated thinking about her dating anyone even though he knew he was a longshot. A thought struck him that night as he lay awake. Was that guy a drug dealer? Was he getting Kerry hooked on something? Pot, or acid, or... he couldn't immediately come up with a third drug. He tended to tune out the antidrug presentations at school. The more he thought of it, the more it made sense. The guy looked like a burner, after all.
