Among Friends (2012)
“We’ll read an extra Shakespeare play, we promised, we’ll read Moby Dick, we’ll read War and Peace, we’ll read any book with 800 pages, but please, please, please don’t make us keep diaries!
Miss MacBeth just passed out spiral notebooks with green pages, like the ones secretaries use for shorthand. “You’ll find these easy to fill,” she said.
There are sixteen of us in advanced junior English. Sixteen moans rose up like a chorus of dogs at the pound.
“Fill?” we said, horrified. “Miss MacBeth, you... expect us to fill these books? What are we going to say?”
“Whatever comes to mind,” said Miss MacBeth. “We’ll keep them for three months. You’ll be surprised at what happens in your lives over three months.” She smiled, but her smile landed, of course, on Jennie.
I looked at Jennie too, but I didn’t smile.
Once there was an Awesome Threesome.
Jennie and Hillary and me.
You come across a lot of best friends, but we were the only trio in school history. If only The Awesome Threesome still existed!MoreLess
