Flunked
“Mother says I have the hearing of a bat.
I lie motionless as the door opens and Kayla tiptoes inside, choosing not to turn on the light and wake me up. Then she bangs into a coatrack.
“Ouch! Ouch!” Kayla yells at the top of her lungs. “Yowza!”
I turn on the oil lamp at the side of my bed and see Kayla hopping around on one foot. She’s still wearing our navy uniform, even though school has been over for hours. I am surprised she doesn’t change out of them as soon as classes are over.... I do. Her wings shoot out, and soon she’s fluttering up and down, holding her aching toe.
“You okay?” I ask.
She holds her breath, then lets it go. “Sorry, roomie. I was trying not to wake you.”
This is the first time I’ve seen Kayla in our room since I arrived a few days ago. I was starting to think I lived alone. Not that I mind. I almost never had a room to myself for more than thirty seconds in our boot.MoreLess
