The Juvie Three (2008)
“She disappears into room 708, and he listens to her usual banter with the occupants.
“Hi, guys. Do you want the pheasant under glass or the beef Wellington? Oh, sorry. That’s for the good patients. You two get cookies and juice….”
Gecko smiles to himself. She’s the ultimate volunteer, and everybody loves her. He looks forward to the weekend because it saves him the mad dash from school and back on his lunch hour. Plus he knows Roxanne basically lives here on Saturday and Sunday, so he’ll be abl...e to hang out with her. And he isn’t exactly longing for apartment 4B either, where Arjay is “helping” Terence with his book report on To Kill a Mockingbird. The only thing more agonizing than making Terence read is making Terence write. Each letter is formed as if someone is holding a blowtorch to his wrist. By now, the two of them are probably rolling around on the living room floor, beating each other’s head in.
Roxanne emerges. “Satisfied customers.”
They work their way to the end of the hall, conspicuously skipping room 704, where Healy lies in comatose solitude, taking all his nourishment through a drip in his arm.MoreLess
