Pretty in Pearls: a Forgive My Fins Novella (Harperteen Impulse)
“Shannen shoves me out of the lunch line. “Before the goons behind us get to his table.”
Glancing over my shoulder, I see that she’s right. Brody’s posse—the swim team and cheerleading squad—are in line behind Shannen, behind the spot I just occupied. Out in the cafeteria, Brody is sitting alone at their table.
If I’m going to ask him, I’d better do it now. It’s my best chance.
With a deep breath, I hand my lunch to Shannen, push my way through the crowd around the registers, and make my way to ...Brody’s table. He doesn’t notice right away when I approach, so I clear my throat. He looks up and all the words in my mind wash away. He’s like high tide, clearing out my thoughts as easily as driftwood on the beach.
For a moment I’m back to the first time I saw him. It was the afternoon before my first day at Seaview High. The nerves and the fears and the homesickness had gotten to me. I was a mermaid, a girl of the sea! What was I thinking, going to terraped high school?MoreLess
