The Boarding House
“Ellie didn’t have any best friends running up to her on Monday morning asking her what had happened. She didn’t have a boyfriend to have to explain herself to. She didn’t even have the ear of the school counselor who saw her in the hall but kept on walking.
She got her books out of her locker and headed to first hour. And then she got a surprise.
Her homeroom teacher, Mrs. Smith, took one look at her and put her arm around Ellie’s shoulder. “Ellie. What happened? Did you have a wreck over the w...eekend? Are you alright?”
“No, ma’am, I didn’t have a wreck, but I’m not feeling so great.”
It was obvious to the teacher that Ellie Wayne wasn’t giving out any more information, which didn’t surprise her. She’d known Ellie for years and knew nothing about her other than that her mother was dead and her father worked at Strobel Investments.
Ellie took her seat and opened her book without paying any attention to the page. She just needed to be doing something besides fielding stares.MoreLess
