October 1, 1993

The first day I met Mikey was at the homecoming game. It was a great night of spending time with my friends. Mikey was Scott’s partner (Scott was Anna’s boyfriend). We (Anna and I) said “Hi” to them and watch them for a little while. I was trying to figure out what she saw in Scott (he wasn’t all she had made him out to be, but looks aren’t everything). We didn’t talk much until the dance. Scott had left and Mikey stayed to watch the dance. Anna and I talk to him. I was a little nervous, since I had to stay by him the whole night. I found out that Anna knew him for a long time. Mom (Anna’s mom) is a police officer, so Anna knows a lot of them. Plus she was good friends with his youngest daughter.

Mikey asked if she was going home afterwards and when he added safely, we start laughing and then we explained everything we did that night after school left out. Everything from the teachers to driving 75 to 85 mph down both the major highways near by. That’s about all Mikey and I said to each other that night.

Mikey told us to be careful that if we weren’t he would have to give us a ticket Anna started laughing and he said “you know I could.” I said, “But you would have to catch us first.”

Later that night he told us to leave the dance and go home. I said “no I’m going to wait until the crowd left.” So then we (Anna, Mikey, Lynn, and I) walked to my car. He said “now you guys be careful.” I started my car as I said, “always am.” Then he said, “then turn on your lights.” I said, “no it’s funnier this way.”

Anna’s asked if he wanted a ride to the station and he answered with a no that he could walk. So I decided to follow him to the station and he laughed at us and we laughed back.

Anna also apologized to me when we got to her house, because she realized that I would have taken him to the station, but that I would have been nervous. She knows my views on police officers. I don’t have a good outlook on them due to my past. I was nervous that whole night with Mikey but I had fun and things have changed. (I’m not nervous around him anymore. It took me becoming terrified to do that [more details when we get to the date of October 9, 1993] now I have to admit to falling for him [more details when I get to the date of November 20, 1993.]*

*12/16/93 — You know to this day I don’t know what caused me to trust him. I mean we left each other on the 9th with me being terrified and then by the 5th I trusted him and by the 9th of November I was falling for him. It just doesn’t make sense to me.
