CHAPTER 10

A few days later, I’m sitting in class doing some silent reading when Mr. Richie tells me that Ms. Loft wants to meet with me in her office.

Now my stomach starts to hurt. It’s going to be hard to lie to Ms. Loft.

“Before you go,” Mr. Richie says to me, “listen to the details about your team project.” He explains to the class, “For our next unit, you’ll be working with partners to create a lesson on fractions. Each team will make a handout and a PowerPoint. Then you’ll teach it to the class.”

I sigh and look at Allie. “Want to do that together?”

“Umm… we’ll see.” She stands up to walk to the pencil sharpener.

“Wait, what?” I stand up too. I’m supposed to go see Ms. Loft, but I need to find out what she means first.

We stand by the pencil sharpener. “I don’t know what is happening with you,” Allie whispers. “I wish you would tell me.”

“Nothing,” I lie.

“Farah! Please stop lying to me!” she says angrily. “First, you fail the math test. Then, you refuse to do homework with me. You don’t seem to care about school at all anymore. Why should I be your partner? You might ruin my grade too!”

My mouth falls open. I don’t know what to say. But a second later, I forget this conversation because I look down and notice her shoes.
