So anyway, Stradlater went to go get himself sorted for this date he had. He always had different dates Stradlater did, a new girl every week. I followed him to the bathroom, and talked to him whilst he shaved.
I couldn't help but notice Stradlater's lack of hygiene in the bathroom, I mean yeah he's an attractive guy and all but really he's a slob. Not in the same way as Ackley, 'cos he's known for being a bit of a slob but well Stradlater is nore of a secret slob. For instance he always looks good on the outside, but if you were to see the razor he used to shave himself with you'd be disgusted. Its all old and rusty.
I started horsing around with Stradlater, see Stradlater has quite a good sense of humour and all. I was doing some crazy tap dance, really going for it. Boy I was getting into it! But then Stradlater asked me would I do his english composition for him something descriptive, seeing as he had this date and all and wouldn't have his own time to do it. I was really interested about his date, and wondered whhether he was still seeing Fitzgerald but when I asked he said it wasnt her. He did say though, that his date knew me. That got me pretty interested, I questioned him about her and eventually he told me her name... Jean Gallagher.
That careless sonuvabitch! He meant Jane Gallagher. Boy, I was excited! I mean she goddamn practically lived next door to me! And she had this huge Doberman Pinscher, that used to keep coming into our garden, thats how I met her. I remember how we used to play checkers and she'd keep all her kings in the back row because she liked the way they looked there. Boy, Jane Gallagher... And Stradlater of all people had a date with her, I mean he's a nice enough guy and all but really he's only after one thing. It goddamn near drived me crazy thinking about him taking her for a date, I know what Stradlater's about. I really wanted to go say Hello to her whilst she waited for Stradlater, but well I couldn't quite pick up the courage. I mean I hadn't seen her for a long time and she was on a date with Stradlater.
But before I had chance to even think about going to say Hello, Stradlater had left for his date and Ackley returned. It really was driving me crazy thinking about Stradlater and Jean and what they were up to. So in the end, I spent the night in with Ackley, whom was squeezing his pimples 'till dinnertime.
