“Meet Your Neighbors!”

“Ooh! Trouble,” Bryan Martinez said with glee as Mr. Havens marched the two girls to their tables. Scooter high-fived his hand in the air across the room toward Bryan.

Scooter sat right next to Alfie, so she saw the whole thing.

And she liked Bryan. He was okay, usually.

“No more noise from you, Mr. Martinez,” Mr. Havens said as he waited for Alfie to take her seat. Then he led Lulu to the table behind Alfie’s.

“Okay, Coach,” Bryan said, cheerful in spite of the scolding.

“We didn’t mean to be late, Mr. Havens,” Alfie told her teacher, deciding to take the blame. “But I had to talk to Lulu about something really important. Personal and important. So it was my fault we—”

“Social Studies is important too,” Mr. Havens interrupted. “And so is my time.”

“Is this going on my permanent record?” Lulu asked as Mr. Havens sat her down. “Because Alfie’s not even my friend anymore.”

A zing! of excitement went through every girl in class.

Especially Alfie.

“I’ll decide later about your permanent record,” Mr. Havens said. “Bella?” he asked. “Give Alfie and Lulu their ‘Meet Your Neighbors!’ worksheets, please. They can catch up with the rest of us the best they can.”

Bella had been standing near Mr. Havens’s desk, a few drooping papers in her hand. Her nose was still pink from crying in the bathroom. Bella handed Alfie what looked like a map of the United States and whispered, “Sorry.”

“That’s okay,” Alfie murmured back, examining the piece of paper.

She didn’t know all the states yet. Was she supposed to know them?
