Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie (2007)
“I realized I was going to be a zombie for the next four years.
“You look tired,” Mom said when I went down to breakfast.
I nodded. “A bit.” I noticed she looked tired, too.

“I will. You don’t have to worry.” I broke the muffin in half and watched the rising steam.
“I guess, the way you like to read, you’ll have an easier time in schoo...l than Bobby did.”
“Yeah. It helps if you like books.” I ate the muffin, then grabbed another to eat on the way to the bus. This time, I made sure not to fall asleep during the ride.
My exhaustion might help explain my act of stupidity. When I got to English class, I pulled out my list of Tom Swifties and passed them to Kelly. That was step number one in my master plan. I figured she’d laugh, then Julia would ask her what was so funny, and Kelly would pass them over.MoreLess
