Story Three: The Preacher's Kid
Last, there is the story of Stacy, an 18-year-old freshman in college. She's a beautiful and sweet "PK" (Preacher’s Kid). Her roommate Natalie, a sophomore, on the other hand, is an around-the-way, sassy, street-smart girl who likes to party. Through some coercing, Stacy is convinced to go to a college party. She’s never even been to a party before; the only thing she’s done that even comes close, is watching Soul Train when her parents were out. Her father has for the most part made all of her decisions for her and Stacy is feeling the urge to start making decisions on her own. At the party, Stacy is approached by a handsome grad student, Calvin, known on campus to be a dog. He invites her back to his apartment to listen to Jazz. Stacy decides that today is the day she is going to make her own choices. She chooses to go home with Calvin.
