Stargirl
“Except for Stargirl jabbering in my ear, the usual raucous chatter was absent. Mostly what I noticed were the eyes. Faces turned up from the steps below, but the eyes never connected with us. They went right on through us as if they were gamma rays. Or they nipped our ears and rattled off among the walls and other eyes. I had an urge to look down at myself, to make sure I was there. At lunch I said to Kevin, "Nobody looks at me." He was staring at his sandwich. "Kevin!" I snapped. "Now you're doing it." He came up laughing. He looked me square in the eyes. "Sorry." Usually there were others at the table. Today there was only us. I leaned across my lunch. "Kevin, what's going on?" He looked off, then back to me. "I was wondering when you'd notice. Kinda hoping you wouldn't." "Notice what?" He stalled by taking a bite of tuna salad sandwich. He took his time chewing. He drank orangeade from a straw. "First of all, it's not you." I pulled back. I held out my hands. "It's not me. What's t...hat supposed to mean?" "It's who you're with." I sat there, blinking, staring at him.MoreLess
