Crossing the Line (2012)
“It was only 7:30 in the morning and the Dos Rios High marquee said it was 85 degrees. Fabiola looked over at her younger sister, who was holding tightly to her new backpack, slung over her right shoulder, heavily loaded down with new school supplies.
“Don’t worry,” Fabi said, giving her sister’s arm a squeeze. “I won’t let anyone pick on you.”
Alexis tried to smile, but she looked small and fragile beside the towering high school students. Fabi could easily remember what her own first day at Do...s Rios High had been like — it was only last year that she’d been standing where her sister was now. The imposing new building with its grand marble dome, numerous palm trees, and pretty fountains seemed out of place in their small, dusty town. It reminded Fabi of a storybook oasis in One Thousand and One Arabian Nights. If it weren’t for her best friend Georgia Rae having such a good sense of direction, they would have been lost all year. Fabi felt a touch of sadness. Georgia Rae was starting her first day at Mac High today.MoreLess
