CHAPTER TWENTY

A half-finished painting of people dying in a rushing flood sat in Sara’s attic. No music was playing, as it was four in the morning, and her father was sleeping.

I can’t believe Jason Pruitt called me. Sara had ended her call with him twenty minutes ago, but Jason wanting to talk to her still stunned her. She wasn’t being some silly slut like the rest of the girls at Tallis High, who worshiped the ground Jason Pruitt walked on, and was proud that he had chosen her to confide in. No, she was simply surprised. She would’ve thought that the football king would’ve had a million people to lean on for support and advice. Did this make her and Jason friends now? She thought people called their friends to talk about their problems, not people who were tutoring them. Sara had never had a real friend before (no one had ever liked her enough: the kids she went to school with had relentlessly attacked her over everything, from her weight to her clothes; they had even attacked her for being smart and knowledgeable), so she wasn’t sure how these things worked.

She had always wanted a friend—someone who liked her by choice, not because the person had to, like her parents—but she had never thought that it would be Jason Pruitt. He had always come off as obnoxious, and full of himself and dumber than a box full of rocks, although now that she was getting to know him better, he wasn’t that bad (he had been extremely kind and compassionate when they had been talking about her mother).

With the exception of schoolwork, she didn’t know what she and Jason could do together: She didn’t share any of his interests (she had tried the Kanye West album; it wasn’t for her, and she’d rather have rectal cancer than even contemplate sitting through a football game). She didn’t want to sit with him at lunch or go out to eat with him (she didn’t feel comfortable eating in front of other people). She didn’t think it would be a good idea for them to sit together in class, either (she took her classes seriously, even the ones she didn’t like, while Jason did not). And she sure as hell didn’t want to hang out with his friends (she hated all of them, and she was positive they felt the same). It was nice, though, to finally have a friend.
