“We ruined the prom,” I tell Miri on the train to Long Island. “I don’t believe it.”

“Uh-huh,” she mumbles, slumped in her seat, reading A2.

“I’m about to make freshman history by going to the prom with the soc president, and I can’t even go. Can life be any more unfair?”

“Uh-huh,” she repeats.

Hmm. “Is there a rhinoceros on this train?”

“Uh-huh.”

“You’re not paying attention to me!”

“Uh-huh.”

I wave my hand in front of her face.

“What?” she asks, finally looking up.

“We ruined the prom with the cows. Do you get it?”

“Yes, I get it, but is that really such a big deal? It’s just a dance. A stupid elitist dance. A dance that you wouldn’t even be going to if not for the love spell,” she says, whispering the last two words. “There are far more important issues you should be worrying about.”

I know I’m normally a little selfish. But I’m pretty sure Miri should be taking some responsibility for this crisis. Not that I’m one to point fingers, but it was sort of her fault. “What are you doing, anyway?”

She whips out a notebook. “Worrying about things more important than prom. Like ridding the world of land mines, number three on my list, and of slave trafficking, number four. Fixing the ozone layer, number five. And there was an oil spill this morning off the coast of France. Do you know how many whales are going to die?” She makes an arrow in her notebook. “The oil just got bumped up to number three.”

I squirm in my seat. “Okay, I’m sorry. Sounds serious.”

She shakes her head and I notice the heavy circles under her eyes. “Life is serious,” she says, and sighs, then returns to reading, leaving me staring at my hands.

I could so use a manicure.
