From her spectacular tree house in the Garden of Eden, Zoe could see clear to the horizon, where the blue sky meets the bluer ocean. African elephants, gazelles, and zebras roamed the plains. Zoe didn’t need a radio because all day long the birds were singing songs. A monkey waved and handed her a banana . . .

“What’s BQ mean?” Adam blurted, interrupting my fantasy.

So that was it. He was a spy on a mission—sent, in all likelihood, by Zena or her puppets. I glanced over to the table where they were sitting and waited for one of them to look our way, but their eyes stayed focused on each other.

Hmmm. Maybe he’s not a spy.

“It means ‘be quiet,’” I replied.

“Oh.”

And Adam went on eating his lunch and I went on eating mine and then he was finished and he got up to leave, but before he did, he told me, “You’re not ugly, Zoe.”

“Okay.”

As he walked away, I watched him to see if he was going to stop at the table where Zena’s clique was sitting, to tell them what BQ meant so they could make fun of me again—but he didn’t.

He seems nice—maybe.
