“Just give Cora some space,” said Ezra. “Leave her alone for a few days.”

“Orrrrrrrrr,” I said, getting excited, “I could just try to be more fun! More fun than Margot.”

Jude and Ezra shook their heads.

But I ignored them. I mean, they’re smart and everything, but that doesn’t mean they’re always right.

Chapter 13

The next morning, as I ate my cereal, I said to my mom, “Instead of having my birthday at the House of Bounce, can we have it at Disneyland?”

Mom laughed. Then she looked at my face and said, “Oh, you’re serious?”

“Fine,” I sighed. “How about Las Vegas?”

Mom blinked slowly. “In Nevada?”

“I don’t know where it is!” I said, annoyed. “I just know you can win a lot of money there! I think you can maybe ride elephants, too. Can we take Cora?”

My mom put her hand on my forehead. “Are you feeling okay, honey?” she asked.

“Just because I want to ride an elephant and win a lot of money so my birthday can be special, you think I’m sick? It’s no wonder my friends don’t want to come here! We never do anything fun!” And I stormed into my room to get dressed for school.

Mom came into my room a minute later.

“Do you want to talk about what’s bothering you?” she asked.

I did. I really did. My mom is a therapist, and her whole entire job is to listen to people talk about their problems and try to make them feel okay.

But Mom is always telling me how important it is to be kind, and I thought she’d be disappointed in me because Margot was new and homesick and I wasn’t being very kind to her. So I just shook my head.

“Anything I can do to help?” she asked.

I thought for a second. “Do you have any clothes with a lot of zippers that I could borrow?”

Mom poked around in the dustiest corner of her closet and found her old motorcycle jacket. It was black leather and covered with cool zippers.

“This used to be my all-time favorite.” She smiled. “I haven’t worn it since I was … oh, probably since I was a teenager.”
