Twenty-six years, eight months ago...

“I CAN’T BELIEVE school starts in two weeks.” Halle wasn’t ready for second grade. She really, really wasn’t. Her mom had bought her all those new clothes and shoes and still she was really freaked out about second grade.

“It’s no big deal,” Andy assured her. “It’ll be just like first grade except we already know how to read. We’ll learn lots of new stuff. Harder math and junk like that. It’ll be easy as pie, as my dad says.”

Halle groaned and rolled to her side to look at her best friend in the whole world. “I don’t know about that harder math stuff. I’m not so good at it. Remember in first grade how I had a bumpy start. Ms. Gardner said so.”

He stopped counting stars in the sky and turned his face to hers. “I’ll help you. Just like in first grade. Don’t worry.”

She smiled. He was right. He had helped her past that bumpy start. “’Kay.”

She relaxed onto her back and stared up at the dark sky and tried to find where she’d left off counting. Not possible. Ugh. They were lying on a quilt in her backyard. It was nearly bedtime. Would be bedtime already if school had started. But their moms let them stay up a little later in the summer to do fun stuff after dark. Like catching lightning bugs and counting stars.

“What if we’re not in the same room together,” Halle dared to whisper. She had crossed her fingers every night as she went to sleep, hoping and praying that she and Andy would be in the same room again this year.

“My mom said we will be in the same room,” Andy assured her. “She spoke to the principal or something.” He rolled his head to the side and grinned at her. “She said your mom did, too.”

Halle made a pretend mad face. “She didn’t tell me. All this time she’s been saying, we’ll see. We’ll see.” She said her mom’s words in a silly-stern voice.

Andy laughed. “Even if we weren’t in the same room we would still be best friends. Right?”

“Right.” She turned back to the stars and silently repeated the words she’d said every night all summer:

Star light, star bright,

The first star I see tonight;

I wish I may, I wish I might,

Have the wish I wish tonight.

I wish to always be with Andy.
