Movie

I didn't have a date or anything, so I and this friend of mine, Mal Brossard, that was on the wrestling team, decided to take a bus into Agerstown and have a hamburger and maybe see a lousy movie. Neither of us felt like sitting around on our ass all night. I asked Mal if he minded if Ackley came along with us. The reason i asked was because Ackley never did anything on Saturday night. He came through the goddam curtains, and stood on the shower ledge and asked who was going beside me. I swear, if that guy was shipwrecked somewhere, and you were rescued him in a goddam boat, he'd want to know who the guy was that was rowing it before he'd even get in. Bossard and Ackley both had seen the picture that was playing, so all we did, we just had a couple of hamburgers and played the pinball machine for a little while, then took the bus back to Pencey. I didn't care about seeing the movie. It was supposed to be a comedy, and all that crap. It was ony quarter to nine when we got back to the dorm. Ackley lay down on my bed. All he did was keep talking in this monotonous voice about some babe he was supposed to have had sexual intercourse with the summer before. He was a virgin if ever I saw one.
