ARTIFACTS (a serialized story part 53) Aaron saw Kerry walking ahead of him in the hall. She was headed to science, he knew, while he himself had to suffer thru gym. They at least were doing softball, which meant that he would be assigned to deep right field and mostly ignored. Coach Jurassic-- a nickname given him by the less-athletic kids in the school long ago, one which had stuck year after year, making it hard to remember his real name was "Johannson"-- never felt like monitoring more than 1 game, so he divided the 30 kids into 2 teams of 15. The athletes and popular kids played every position but right field, so right field usually had a few kids like Aaron in it, all jumbled together. They were also placed last in the batting order, so gym class was mostly just standing around watching their social superiors play softball. He wondered if he should try talking to her. They hadn't talked since that day on the porch. He'd barely seen her around, either.
