I decide to sit in a remote corner of the library. Ms. Fleury has obviously been made aware of the situation. She doesn’t make any comment. She doesn’t even say hello.

I take out my economics book as well as my notepad. I’ve got an essay due next week. It doesn’t matter that I’ll no longer be here; I have nothing else to do. It will make the time go by faster.

I give a start when Sofia sits down next to me. I glance at my watch. Twelve o’clock.

“How’s it going?” she asks.

I fill her in, telling her what Mrs. Desbeaux said. Sofia doesn’t comment.

“Everybody is talking about you, of course.”

I shrug. “It’ll pass.”

“Maybe, but right now you’re the most popular person at school!”

I don’t even want to know details. I just think that if everybody is talking about me, then Djelila must know what has happened. She hasn’t come to see me.

“I have to go,” Sofia says. “Do you want something?”

My stomach is crying out for food, but I shake my head.

Sofia leaves. I’m grateful that she didn’t try to make me change my mind.

“Hey, psst!”

I turn around. It’s Djelila. She’s hiding behind the shelves and signals me over.

“What are you doing here?” I ask.

“I just heard about you.”

“I guessed that. Why are you hiding?”

“I was afraid they wouldn’t let me talk to you.”

I smile. “I’m not under house arrest yet,” I tell her.

Djelila takes two apples, three pieces of cheese, and four or five slices of bread out of her jacket pockets and deposits them on the table. From where she stands, Ms. Fleury can’t see us. Fortunately.

“I thought you’d be hungry, so I picked this up in the cafeteria,” Djelila says.

“Thanks.”

“You’re not too afraid?”

“Actually, I am.”

Djelila hugs me and puts a hand on my scarf. I almost forgot about it.

“Can you still meet me at four?” she asks.

“Yes, four o’clock at the Hanky. I’ll be there.”

Djelila winks. “Good. And I’ll visit you again later on.”

“OK. But don’t worry about me.”

“Of course I worry about you, Sohane. You’re my big sister.”
