pivotal · B.S. 2001, Sept

When: B.S. 2001, third week of September (Orin's freshman fall at B.U.)
What: Joelle, a B.U. baton-twirler so beautiful she is universally shunned (the Actaeon Complex; the P.G.O.A.T.), is sighted at halftime by tennis-recruit Orin, who defects to football over her. She wears a dandelion-attar scent decocted by her chemist Daddy in Shiny Prize KY. Orin needs three hearings to learn her name isn't "Joel."
