“Why aren’t you wearing your purple sneakers?” Gio asked.

It was the last question I wanted to answer but the only thing on my mind. Sometimes you have to talk over your problems with friends.

“I lost my backpack,” I said.

“The new one?” Maria asked.

I nodded my head.

“What does it look like?” Gio asked.

“It’s white,” I said. “All over.”

“Like a T-shirt?” Gio asked.

“Yes.” Maria giggled. “Or a towel at the summer camp pool.”

I would have had more fun if I wasn’t wearing flip-flops. With Zapato Power, I could have bounced up high and seen over the crowd.

Where were my super shoes? Did Erika have them? When I thought about her, my stomach twisted up, just like it did when I tried to put my face into the water at swimming lessons.
