Fan doesn’t understand.

“If you catch a leaf, you will have good luck.”

“The leaf catches me is still good luck?” Fan asks.

“Yes! Maybe that means you will win the volleyball tournament.”

Fan takes the leaf out of her hood. “The meaning is Gong Gong will get well,” she says.

Soon after I get home the phone rings, and I am surprised to hear Andee’s voice. “Fan said you had a CAT meeting.”

“We met after school in Mr. Freeman’s room.”

“I thought we were going to do CAT together,” she says.

“But you said you were too busy.”

“I just said I didn’t want to start right away.” Andee’s voice has an edge that I’ve never heard before.

Kaylee is chasing Ken around the kitchen while Dad is cooking dinner. Andee is right. I should have asked her again before I just scheduled a meeting. I want to tell Andee that I’m sorry, and that we can schedule the next meeting together. I want to see if she can come over so we can plan some projects. I want to ask her what high school is really like. But I can hardly talk.

“Did you schedule the next meeting?” she asks.

My voice comes out in a whisper. “It’s after Thanksgiving. On Wednesday.”

“Okay.”

Andee doesn’t say “See you soon” or anything like that. All she says is “Bye.”
