Little Black Lies (2009)
“My slip-up was bad, but did it really warrant complete and total exclusion from her life? Seriously. And now I’m stuck with my mom’s smoky French accent running through my brain like the clunking pipes in the wall behind my bed. But instead of wanting an extra pillow to put over my head, I want someone to remind me that experimenting with foreign languages is good, nothing at all like a textbook mother who lives on a different page from her unborn baby.
I try Mandy’s number one more time on the... way to class. When she doesn’t pick up, again, I head inside.
Mr. Curtis, we’re all quickly discovering, is a huge fan of pop quizzes. He strolls in cradling a stainless-steel Starbucks travel mug and waves a stack of light blue papers up in the air. “I hope you’ve all been following my advice and spending your spare time studying. Today’s quiz differs from our first in three ways.” He sets his things on his desk and removes his blazer. “It’s longer. It encompasses everything we’ve learned in the last two weeks, plus the material you’ll all remember fondly from our first quiz.”MoreLess
