“In less than ten minutes it would pull into the parking lot at Ralph’s, and I would have to get off. I wished it would never get there. Allison wished exactly the opposite. “I can’t wait to get home,” she said. “I can’t wait to show my mom what I bought.” Allison was my best friend. We’d met in fourth grade after my dad had been hired as a manager at a nuclear power plant and we had moved from the city, where I had been born, to a small town about twenty miles from the plant.

Allison and I hit it off right away. She made me forget how much I missed my friends back home. It wasn’t long before we were doing everything together.
