Fifteen Lanes (2016)
“I contemplated the message. This was my life, my new normal. Every morning, with the obsessiveness of an ingénue reading her reviews, I dumped my books in my locker, grabbed what I needed for the day, and trudged upstairs to the sixth floor girls’ bathroom. In the fourth cubicle, the farthest from the door, I read the latest messages on a Hater Wall devoted entirely to me.
I knew it was stupid, if not masochistic. Who cared what a few bored girls wrote about me on a bathroom stall? In the past ...three weeks I’d been befriended by the hottest guy in school—the fact that he was gay only made it more perfect—and I was possibly making a new friend in Noor. The previous weekend, when I hadn’t wanted to get undressed for our Bollywood debut, she’d somehow understood, and I know she appreciated me taking the heat for the stolen necklace. She’d even suggested we get together this coming week.
But somehow these small wins couldn’t outweigh the losses. I missed my brother and Tina.MoreLess
