Chapter Eight

Keisha wasn’t sure why keys were so big in the old days, but the good part was that big keys made big keyholes in old houses, and big keyholes meant that you could let your two best friends look into the bathroom at an alligator without breaking your promise to not let your friends into the bathroom to look at an alligator.

“He’s not that big,” Aaliyah said. Aaliyah was the tallest of the three of them, with broad shoulders, deep brown eyes and always the newest and prettiest hairstyles because her grandma braided hair for just about everyone in Alger Heights.

“But you are,” Wen said. She was hopping up and down, trying to see over Aaliyah’s shoulder. Wen was the shortest of the three. She had the shortest hair, too, and always the highest kneesocks during the school year. Wen went third in double Dutch practice because when your arms are tired, you want someone small to swing the ropes for. Plus, Wen was graceful. She almost never messed up on motions.

Razi burst into the hall and pushed both girls aside. “Let me see.”

“Razi! You’ve already seen the alligator. At the pool. These are our guests.”

“Did not.” Razi stuck out his bottom lip and pressed his face to the door. “He was moving too fast. I want to see him standing still.” Razi pulled away from the keyhole. “Now he’s asleep. That’s boring.”
