Alice In-Between
“HENSLEY THE PARTY OF his life. Not only did he put on the paper hat that Patrick had brought to school with the cake, but he even blew the little horn that came with it and seemed genuinely touched that we remembered his retirement in this way.
Sometimes it doesn’t take very much to make someone happy. All a person really wants to know is that he’s appreciated and is going to be missed. There was a moment or two, watching Patrick there in front of the room, when I wished we were going toget...her again. At the end of sixth grade, we’d decided to be special friends, not boyfriend and girlfriend. I just didn’t feel ready for steady dating then, but I don’t think I was any more ready for it now. I wasn’t a little kid anymore, but I wasn’t a young woman, either. The more I thought about it, the more I decided I had those “in-between blues.”
“I’ve got the in-between blues,” I said to Lester that afternoon as I sat on the porch with a book.MoreLess
