I FOLLOWED DANA HOME from school. She lived, of course, in the only new house in town. It was built at a slanty modern angle, and rather than being sided with either the traditional painted wood or aluminum, it was covered with stained cedar shingles. The house sat on half an acre, and there was a largish barn in the backyard. It had been sitting empty for almost a year; no one had seen Dana’s family move in.

Just as she reached her front porch, Dana wheeled around and yelled, “Are you following me?” Her voice was so deep that it startled me and caused me to jump backward a step. Without looking at her I crossed the street and continued on toward home. In my peripheral vision I could see her standing on her front porch like a traffic cop, with her legs spread and her arms crossed. That leather jacket was so impressive I could smell it and hear it crackling even from a great distance.
