Don't You Wish
“I almost skip school completely because, well, no one really cares if I go or not. Jimbo isn’t around, and my mom is living in some condo in Boca.
But I do go, mostly because I need to see Charlie. I haven’t heard a peep—not so much as a text—from Bliss or Jade, but there’s part of me that wants to say goodbye to them. Because what if I do find Mel, and he has a mirror, and I somehow travel through time and space and never come back here? The more I think about going to Pittsburgh, the more I t...hink about not coming back here again. Maybe I’ll just talk to Mel … or maybe lightning will strike twice. I have to be ready for anything.
When I get to school, I don’t see Jade or Bliss outside by the fountain, so I head to their lockers, and on the way cruise by the eleventh-grade girls’ bathroom. I’m just in time to see a few girls hustling out, mumbling unhappily, then sliding distrustful glances at me.
“Your friends probably want you in there,” one says.
“Maybe not,”MoreLess
