What do you do when your world starts to fall apart?

Call your best friend.

But Zandy was still out with her father. Her mom said she’d have her call me back, unless she got home after nine.

“Please ask her to call even if it’s late,” I begged. “I have a question about our English homework that’s urgent.”

Parents always buy that one.

When the phone finally rang, I must have jumped three feet. It was just after nine, so I knew I could only talk for a minute.

“Major disaster,” I said. “I really, really wish I could see you tonight but . . .”

There was a short pause, while Zandy figured out what I really, really wanted to tell her.

“Me, too,” she said, then added, “the English homework is to finish chapter eight for tomorrow’s discussion. The quiz is on Tuesday.”

Her mother had to be standing right next to her.

I went to bed early and lay awake, every muscle tense, listening to the late night sounds in the house: my parents getting ready for bed, their soft snores, and then their loud ones. By the second loud snore, I was out the window and on my way to Zandy’s.

If I kept this up, I’d forget how to use the front door.
