Tiffany Tumbles: book One of the Interim Fates (2015)
“Then I hang out a bit and watch some TV (weird, seeing it live. I don’t like those commercial thingies) and then I go to bed. Mom doesn’t say anything more about servants. Not that night, not the next morning, not all week.
I go through my routine and I try not to say stupid stuff. I don’t call anyone a servant. I barely call people by name. I almost never get called on either—the teachers avoid me, like they expect me to be dumb or behind or both.
The only thing I seem to be good at is P.E. I ...can run faster than anybody, especially at short distances. I’m really good at jumping too, so Mrs. Yates wants me to go out for basketball in a few months. I’m too embarrassed to tell her I don’t know what basketball is. I actually have to Google it when I get home, and then I learn that it’s this important American game that I should be honored to be a part of, that it’s like a religion to hundreds (maybe thousands, maybe millions) of people, and if I’m really good, I can get scholarships to college when I’m older.MoreLess
