Monday, May 5, Nurse's Office
Oh, my God, that was so dramatic, I can barely
write. Seriously. I have never seen so much
blood.
I am almost surely destined for some kind of
career in the medical sciences, however,
because I didn't feel like fainting. Not even
once. In fact, except for Michael and maybe
Lars, I think I am the only person in the room to
have kept my head. This is undoubtedly due to
the fact that, being a writer, I am a natural
observer of all human interactions, and I saw
what was coming before anyone . . . maybe even
Boris. The nurse even said that if it hadn't been
for my quick intervention, Boris might have lost
a lot more blood. Ha! How's that for princess-
like behaviour, Grandmere? I saved a guy's life!
Well, OK, maybe not his life, but whatever,
Boris might have passed out or something if it
hadn't been for me. I can't even imagine what
caused him to freak out like that. Well, yes, I
guess I can. I think the silence in the G and T
room caused Boris
to go momentarily mental. Seriously. I can
totally see how it would, since it was bugging
me, as well.
Anyway, what happened was, we were all just
sitting there, minding our own business - well,
except for me, of course, since I was watching
Boris - when all of a sudden he stood up and
went, 'Lilly, I can't take this any more! You
can't do this to me! You've got to give me a
chance to prove my undying devotion!'
Or at least it was something like that. It's kind of hard to remember, given what happened next.
I do remember how Lilly replied, however. She
was actually somewhat kind. You could tell she
felt a little bit bad about her behaviour towards
Boris at my party. She went, in a nice voice,
'Boris, seriously, I am so sorry, especially about
the way it happened. But the truth is, when a
love like mine for Jangbu takes hold, there's no
stopping it. You can't hold back New York
baseball fans when the Yankees win the World
Series. You can't hold back New York shoppers
when Century Twenty-One has a sale. You can't
hold back the floodwaters in the F train subway
tunnels when it pours. Similarly, you can't hold
back love like the kind I feel for Jangbu. I am
so, so sorry about it, but seriously, there's
nothing I can do. I love him.'
These words, gently as they were spoken - and
even I, Lilly's severest critic, with the possible
exception of her brother, will admit they were
spoken gently - seemed to hit Boris like a fist.
He shuddered all over. Next thing I knew, he'd
picked up the giant globe next to him - which
really was a feat of some athleticism, as that
globe weighs a ton. In fact, the reason it's in the
G and T room is that it's so heavy, nobody can
get it to spin any more, so the administration,
rather than throwing it away, must have figured,
well, just stick it in the classroom with the
nerds, they'll take anything ... after all, they're
nerds.
So there was Boris - hypoglycaemic, asthmatic,
deviated-septum and allergy-prone Boris -
holding this big heavy globe over his head, as if
he were Adas or He-Man or the Rock or
somebody.
