Brendan appeared from behind the door to the media center on Monday as Sophie was passing by. He was carrying his blue notebook. He told Sophie he’d cleared “all other irrelevant information” out of it so he could devote it to gorillas.

He’d been popping up at her side like a perky ghost, armed with more gorilla information, at least once a day lately. Sophie wished he’d stop sneaking up on her.

“Did you know that the DNA of a gorilla is ninety-eight percent identical to that of a human?” Brendan said now, glued to her side as they made their way down the hall to their class. He quickly checked a page in his notebook. “Actually, it’s closer to ninety-nine percent.”

“What does that mean?” Sophie said.

“It means that gorillas are almost exactly like humans.”

“Well, of course,” she said. “Baby gorillas look like real babies.”

“Exactly.”

The weird look in Brendan’s eyes seemed more demented than passionate. Sophie moved away uneasily and bumped into someone walking behind her.

“What are you two talking about?” Destiny said. “Sophie’s pretend gorilla again?”
