“Life Back to Normal—Kind of Deja sits on her own porch, waiting for the cab that will bring Auntie Dee home. She's glad it's Friday after school. She's glad she doesn't have to hear everybody whispering about Antonia's party anymore. Rosario and Melinda had the nerve to walk up to her at recess and ask her if she was coming to Antonia's party. She turned around and walked the other way.
Nikki, beside her, is busy writing in her notebook. "What's that?" Deja asks finally.
"I'm listing all the st...uff we can do at your birthday party tomorrow." "It's only going to be the two of us, Nikki." "Well, we can still have some fun." "No, we can't. Everything is ruined." Deja sighs. "All I want is for it to hurry up and be over." Nikki continues her writing, and Deja continues watching the corner, waiting for the cab to turn onto their street. When it does—slowly driving down Fulton—Deja jumps up and does a little dance. Auntie Dee is back!
"Auntie Dee!" Deja runs crashing into her arms before she can even pay the driver.MoreLess Read More Read Less
