Promise
“He has to want something else.
What am I doing?
I’m making $400, is what I’m doing. That’s a dent in five-thousand. A visible dent.
A dent someone would notice if you left it in their car door.
It’s just a book. It’s just words. It’s not like I’ve never read before.
Sure, but out loud? I remember the last time I’d read out loud in school. And every time before.
I remember Lilly Petridge sitting in front of me in fifth grade. It was my third school that year. She’d turned around and glared at me..., passing on the open copy of Gulliver’s Travels, the classroom silent, waiting for me to start. I’d lifted the book, trying to ignore her smirk. My belly had tightened as I tried to breathe. My eyes fell on the top of page 127, and there it was scrawled in red marker across the page, across the book’s words.
FREAK GHOST GIRL Boooooooooo!!!!
I shake my head as I head down the hall to check on Mrs. Stephenson. She got herself into the shower but just like every other day, she will forget when it’s time to get back out.MoreLess
