Ukies--10. Yuri and Wasylyna

Yuri and Wasylyna

Yuri was after her when she first appeared in class with that troubled Eastern European look about her that he found fascinating and intriguing.

“In Europe they have to start learning fast,” he said one day, “giving their bodies for sex.” He rubbed himself. “It’s like taking candy from a baby.”

Day by day we saw him getting closer and closer to Wasylyna but by then she wasn’t so frightened by the rest of the kids, laughing and talking back.

It was in the playground on the roof when it happened. Wasylyna bent down to pick up a scarf she had dropped when Yuri grabbed her by the ass. Many of us who knew Yuri instantly smirked at his boldness and rashness but she struck him in the face and blurted out “Swoloych!” Bastard!

It was a powerful and well aimed wallop that she hit him with and it sent him flying; kids were talking about it for days after. Yuri picked himself up but stayed far from her after that. “They were all Nazis,” he simply said, “What does anyone expect out of them?” But it wasn’t fair, calling her a Nazi. Not fair at all….
