Seventeen

We find Blake erasing the board in his classroom, talking to himself. Correction: talking to his imaginary friend, the angel Gabriele. When we show him the pieces of the drawing, he frowns.

“Why, yes, this is one of my drawings, but where did you find it? I threw it away some time ago, which is why it’s in pieces.”

Hana shoots me a knowing glance. This is her way of telling me that Heathcliff is framing Blake.

“Can you tell us what the tiger means?” Hana asks him.

“Well, Gabriele knows the answer to that one,” Blake says, starring out into the middle of the classroom to the spot, I assume, where his hallucination is standing, or floating, or whatever angels do.

Samir, a puzzled look on his face, glances to the middle of the room and then back to Blake.

“You see, I wrote the poem to prove how powerful God is. You see, God created the lamb, but God also created the tiger. Imagine the power of someone who would create something as strong and fierce as a tiger. I think, by the very fact that tigers exist, there is proof of an all-powerful God.”

“Do you know anything about Coach H and Ms. W?” Hana asks Blake.

“I’m afraid, as a faculty member, I cannot talk about faculty business,” Blake says. “But Gabriele can help you.”

Samir looks at the empty spot in the room. “Gabriele can help us?” He sounds skeptical.

“Gabriele can show you the way.” Blake points to one of the student desks in the classroom. There’s a book laying on top of it. Hana picks it up and shows it to me. It says Bard Academy Faculty Handbook.

“What’s this?” I ask Blake.

“A little heavenly illumination,” Blake says.
