Twins
“The news whirled like winter winds through the long and heavy corridors of the school. On the second day she was in class, hostility hung in the halls.
The school was overlaid with apprehension. It lay like another textbook on top of everybody’s burdens.
Madrigal is back.
Madrigal herself — Mary Lee, that is — was thinking only of Jon Pear.
A good night’s sleep had been impossible. But even a bad night’s sleep showed her how ridiculous yesterday had been. Of course she had been afraid, but to c...all her twin’s boyfriend evil? Nonsense. Jon Pear, said her mind and heart, Jon Pear Jon Pear Jon Pear.
She was as nervous as a cat on a string, jerking and looking and tying herself in knots.
But Jon Pear was not around.
