Bud ordered and briefly wore to classes a T-shirt reading, "Piedmont High may not be the end of the earth. But you can see it from here." Oddly, that would not be well received by the school's administrators. No biggie there. Bud was always in trouble with those folks anyway. One positive side to being in such a rural setting was the plenitude of backroads; largely free of state troopers. Bud liked to hurl his old 1968 Mustang Fastback down those backroads. It might be old, but Bud and Deuce, his ace mechanic, had "The Blue Flame," as they called her, hopped up and ready for anything. Trudy didn't seem to care about Bud's car. She just liked to climb into that vehicle - or any other place they could get together - and ask him to hold her. She seemed to need that. The Mustang driver was also interested in a mysterious blonde with huge blue eyes, who had introduced herself by claiming, "I'm your new girlfriend, Bud." That girl would promptly disappear; then reappear at odd times.
