Rich (2009)
““Hey,” said Dyamonde. “Why’d you run away from me the other day?”
“Huh?”
“Saturday. Me and my mom were coming out of Second Time Around, and I saw you coming out of the shelter.”
Damaris looked around, nervously twisting a strand of hair. “No, I don’t think so,” she said.
“Yes. I know it was you. You even turned around when I called your name. But then you ran away.”
Damaris glanced up and down the hall to make sure no one else was close enough to hear.
“Look,” she said in a whispery voice. “No...body knows where I live, so please don’t tell them. Please!”
“Don’t worry,” Dyamonde whispered back. “It’ll be our se-cret.” Then she closed her mouth with an invisible zipper. After that, Damaris stopped looking so scared.
Damaris avoided Dyamonde for the rest of that day, but on Tuesday, Dyamonde found her in the lunchroom with her usual pile of books and no food in sight. Dyamonde sat down next to her without asking. Free was out sick, so it’s not like he would miss her.MoreLess
