Dog Eat Dog
“I didn’t live there like before, all independent and self-sufficient and dangerous. I was still an honorary Sullivan, eating with them, watching their TV, sometimes sleeping in Sully’s room, but I wasn’t a real one. I needed the time, and the space, that the upstairs provided. They all seemed to understand—even Mr. Sullivan—and as long as I didn’t burn anything they left me alone up there.
It gave me a small bit of confidence back, living up there again. Gave me just enough to try for a little ...more.
“What are you doing here?” Evelyn asked suspiciously, finding me outside her homeroom on the last day of school.

“Hi.”
We stared at each other. Everybody walking by was happy, bouncing, whooping. Last day of school. But nobody said anything to me, or slapped my back. Nobody touched Evelyn either.
“It’ll be good to be out,” she said.
“It will,” I said.
“Good luck,” she said, and started inching into class.
