Alone in her bedroom just home from a hospital stay, teenage Jeanne reflects on what was her difficulty in choosing between Larry and Nick, friends on the football team, as a boyfriend, that reflection in light of what put her in the hospital. Larry is the dependable, conservative one looking out for others, including her. Nick is the flashy, exciting one. An example of the contrast between the two, Nick will make the big plays on the football field, but he wouldn't be able to do so without Larry's contributions beforehand. Nick's latest toy was his hot rod, which he routinely raced around town. Jeanne was both excited and a little scared by riding in the hot rod with Nick in his speed and seeming disregard for rules of the road in his recklessness. She felt safe enough riding with him during the day, but nighttime was a different matter altogether, which was why she accepted Larry's date to the evening party down by the lake rather than Nick's. Larry too was scared for her, and warned her against riding with Nick at all in his concern. But being somewhat off-put by what she saw purely as Larry's jealousy and feeling bored in Larry driving the speed limit to the party, Jeanne had a different perspective of getting in Nick's hot rod by the time they got to the party and Nick's subsequent invitation to her for a drive around the lake.
