Esther and Buddy

When Esther first meets Buddy she never really gets to see him or spend time with him. She only saw him on occasion at church when they were both home from college. their parents were friends in college and both married college professors. One time while they were at church Buddy came over to talk her and he told her that he might stop by during break. It shocked her up until the day it actually happened. Buddy came by to say hi and he told Esther that he had just hitch hiked all the way from Yale. When he came he told Esther that he was there because he was going to sophomore prom with Joan. As soon as that named left his lips there was a sense of bitterness the rest of the conversation from Esther. The real reason Buddy had stopped by was to ask her to Yale's junior prom. She was so excited to go. When they first started dating they were really happy with one another. A little bit after they started dating things got a little worse. She felt as though Buddy was trying to be this perfect little angel when all Esther wanted was for Buddy to be honest with her. Esther wants Buddy to think of her as an intelligent individual and someone that he can tell stuff to.
