It's one thing to be attracted to a girl at your school, quite another to put through such an open display of affection in front of your schoolmates, even if the affection is mutual.
Just a little work accident. I cut the top of my right index finger, and damaged the tendon. It's all stitched up, but I've got the finger wrapped in a splint so I can't bend it until the tendon heals. Unfortunately I'm right-handed, so drawing is out of the question for a few weeks. Oh well...
