He39。d sometimes take the liberty of displaying his love by planting a kiss on my lips right in front of my astonished friends who watched and disapproved. But the truth is we had a pure and responsible relationship for seven full years.

What was it that attracted me?(Para. 3)Meaning: I was in an awkward position: I started to fall in love with him, but I was also afraid of that.

But so what? Shouldn’t a good student also have fun?14 College is supposed to be a time of great learning and also some fun.

ButI hadn’t had any fun。21 Then he whispered sweet words in my ear and said, “I’m going to marry you one day and I will be a lawyer. You will see.” (Para. 4)Meaning: Then he quietly said sweet words in my ear and said that he would marry me and I could eventually see him bee a lawyer.22 I was laughing inside and said to myself, “I’d never marry this guy. He’s a rebel without a good future. He’s my boyfriend because I hate my boring student life. Ijust want to have fun.” (Para. 5)
