Bobby wakes up at night - his sheet are wet with perspiration - he's dreaming of that locker room. Bobby dreams of the woman taking off her sweated clothes - he can remember the sound of the door slamming open, she looking at them when they all slip in, overcome her without a word. Sad - she was sad, no fear no rage - no outrage.
Bobby was sure he would get to hell. He was sure he would get to prison. Then the principal barely notices him and his friends. They are not even talking between themselves about the locker room episode.
In the morning, Bobby hides beyond a fence to see her coming - the principal's private assistant - she drives him to the school, then leaves - at least most days. Yesterday, he could not resist anymore and had to go to the principal office - but he could not ask any direct question. What can he do now? And that invitation - birdwatching - Bobby cannot stop fantasizing..
