Black Mountain Breakdown
“Crystal is beautiful. Her skin is still fair and clear, and the color still comes and goes in her cheeks. Her hair is very long now and very light and silky, baby fine. She is perfectly proportioned, thin but not too thin, and she moves all the time like a dancer even though of course she has never had lessons; there’s no ballet in Black Rock. Crystal laughs and giggles and cuts up a lot. Find any party and she will be smack in the middle of it, dancing. She learns every new dance that comes al...ong. At the end of last year, she was picked as Miss Best All-Around for the tenth grade. Now she’s a junior and they have elected her Miss Best Personality, and her picture has been taken for the yearbook. Everyone agrees that she has a good personality. She is so popular. But her face sometimes, in repose, looks sad—it’s the kind of eyes she has. “Bedroom eyes,” Sue Mustard calls them, giggling, but that’s not it. Crystal’s eyes are too large and too blue and too deep. When she’s not talking to anybody, when she’s staring out a window or not listening to a teacher lecture in class, her eyes seem like lakes, as if there are secrets in them, as if a mystery is there.MoreLess
