I looked at the others who seemed not to mind.

“Sure.”

“How will I know who to pick?” Elliott asked. That is when I remembered what Star had told me. “You will feel it deep inside your guts.”

Then Elliott ran off to find our first customer, and Millicent and Elizabeth stood there not knowing what to do. I told them they should stand at the long table with me, but they should not speak or hover.

“Pay close attention, just in case you ever have to take over my business.”

They sat down just as Elliott brought over my first customer. It was an older boy I had seen but didn’t know. Elliott knew him because they were both in the music recital.

“This is Ben. You will now tell him his fortune,” Elliott said and then stood behind me to watch everything.

“Hello, Ben,” I said. “I will now start your official reading.”

“Okay,” he said.

“Would you like your palm read, your cards told, or to hear about your future from the inside of this crystal ball?” I asked him.

“Palm,” he said, and stuck his arm out at me.

This made me a little bit upset because I really wanted to use the crystal ball.

“Are you sure?” I asked. “What about the crystal ball?”

“What crystal ball?” he asked.

“This one,” I said, pointing to the bowling ball.

“That’s not a crystal ball. That’s a bowling ball,” he told me.

I did not appreciate that at all.

Ben stuck his hand out. “Palm,” he said.

I was not actually certain that I liked my first customer very much, and that is not an opinion.
