“Honestly, I’m surprised there was even a potato!” Laughs Jeremy’s best friend. “I thought his online girlfriend was 100% made up. You see, Jeremy has never been that great with the ladies and this wouldn’t be the first or second time his online girlfriend ended up being imaginary. This is kind of a step up when you think about it”.
Jeremy’s best friend pauses and laughs to himself.
“Jeremy is what I would call a late bloomer… waiting to bloom! I do still think there’s hope out there for Jeremy. I really do. Our 40 year high school reunion is coming up and I’m hoping he gets a chance to reconnect with our old gym teacher, Ms. Jones. She always spent just a little more time with Jeremy every class.”
We tried to reach out to Ms. Jones for comment, but sadly found her in jail on charges related to indecent relationships with her students.
“I’m just so tired of being alone” explains Jeremey while at the sink peeling a potato. “On a positive note, my 40 year high school reunion is coming up this year and I’m more than a little excited to reconnect with a woman who meant a lot to me in high school. I don’t want to go into too much detail, but she was a little older and spent way more time with me than she probably should have.”
Jeremy winks, smiles widely and takes a big bite out of the newly peeled potato.
What would you tell Jeremy? How would you let him know about Ms. Jones?
