On Thursday, Sirina and I are on our way to our first-period classes when we see Officer Dirk. He’s leaning against the doorjamb, sipping something from a mug and listening to Ms. Roach. She’s moving her hands around and smiling as she talks.

“Holy something. That’s the most relaxed I’ve ever seen him,” Sirina says, motioning for me to follow her. “Come on, maybe he won’t be a jerk in front of Ms. Roach.”

When he sees us, his already stern face hardens. It’s like watching a regular stone turn into granite. I start to slow down but Sirina pulls me along.

Ms. Roach stops talking and looks at us.

“Do you have a few minutes, Officer Dirk?” Sirina asks.

He looks at his watch. “EIGHTY-TWO SECONDS.”

Ms. Roach excuses herself and ducks back into her classroom.

“Well, I need more time than that. Can we schedule something? To talk about the window?”

“OH. I HAVEN’T TOLD YOU.”

A few of those seconds are eaten up by the time it takes for us to realize he’s asking a question rather than making a statement.

“Well, no, you haven’t, but we were hoping—”

“MAYBE THAT’S BECAUSE IT’S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.”

Sirina shrinks. The warning bell rings. Officer Dirk’s granite face softens back into its usual stone, and he walks away.

“I’m sorry,” I say. “I don’t know what’s going on.”

“I don’t, either,” Sirina says. “But I do know one thing. This doesn’t end here.”
