CHAPTER NINETEEN
MARY
SENOR TREMONT IS LINING UP A BUNCH OF PLASTIC vegetables on his desk and asking for volunteers to role-play a scene at a Spanish marketplace, and all I can do is smile at Alexâs empty seat.
That night was maybe the most fun Iâve ever had. Sneaking out with Lillia and Kat, laughing our butts off, speeding through the darkness. When I got home, I crept back into bed and tried to sleep, but that was pretty much impossible. I just lay there in the dark, tracing the flowers on my wallpaper with my finger and thinking how this was even better than what Iâd hoped to accomplish that first day. This isnât just about Reeve. Itâs about me, and it feels like fate or magicâthe girls coming into my life, right when I needed them most.
Through the window I spot Alex getting out of a car. A womanâhis mom, I guessâwaves good-bye and drives off. I watch him run all the way to the main doors. I hear Alexâs feet pounding the linoleum, over Senor Tremont haggling with the girl sitting behind me over how many pimentos he can buy for three euros.
âIâm sorry Iâm late, Senor,â he says, rushing in. âI had a doctorâs appointment.â
Senor Tremont frowns. Then he puts a hand up to his ear, pretending like he canât hear Alex. âEn español, Senor Lind. Por favor.â
Alex is halfway to his seat. He stops, his shoulders sag, and his eyes roll to the back of his head. I have to cover my mouth to keep in a laugh.
âYo . . . yo soy . . . ,â Alex tries.
I lean forward on my elbows and cradle my chin in my hands. I really, really, really wish Lillia and Kat were here to see this for themselves.
Alex is trying to conjugate the verb âapologizeâ for the third time when the fire alarm goes off.
