Of Mice And Nutcrackers: a Peeler Christmas (2001)
“Normally I’d tell Patti, but now I don’t want to. I keep hearing her voice telling Brad how bossy I am. Her smile for me today, her concern for my dad, seem false. Maybe they aren’t. Maybe she still likes me, sort of. But I don’t like her as much as I used to. I tell her my dad is doing fine.
Miss Gonsalves has moved us around. Now I’m sitting beside Zillah. Zillah the dark-haired, dark-eyed, dark-souled girl. She’s tall and thin, and wears black clothes and a frown most of the time. Her nose a...nd eyebrow are pierced. I’m afraid of her, a little. There’s a power around her, like a dark mist. She was a natural to play the part of Dame Mouserink, the wicked mouse queen in our Nutcracker. When I asked her, she didn’t thank me or smile or anything, in fact she spat, but after she spat she nodded her head.
We walk out of class together at morning recess, and stay together. Zillah doesn’t have many friends. Patti runs off to be near Brad. He’s playing basketball with a bunch of other guys and girls.MoreLess
