“Hey, can I come over after school?” Jeff asked the next day as he tossed the remains of his lunch into the trash and dropped the orange tray onto a stack.

“Yeah,” said Rick. “Oh, wait. No.”

Tuesday was Rainbow Spectrum day.

“Uh … I … uh … er …” Rick’s mouth contorted with each nonsense syllable.

“Or are you going to that origami group again?”

Of course. Rick had forgotten about last week’s excuse. He heard his mom’s voice saying that you need a great memory to tell a good lie.

“You okay?”

“Yeah,” said Rick, recovering. “It’s just that it’s called paper folding. We use a bunch of different techniques.”

“You sure you don’t want me to come over instead? I got the new Wheels at Warp Speed last night, and it’s awesome.” Jeff pulled the corner of a video game box out of his backpack, revealing the back end of a black car with flames pouring out of the exhaust.

“Maybe tomorrow.”

“Sure, maybe.” Jeff shrugged.

Meanwhile, Rick felt like he was folding himself into some sort of paper puzzle. Kelly thinking he might be a homophobe was enough to convince him to attend the second Rainbow Spectrum meeting, but Jeff finding out that he was going was enough to make him lie about it.
