I sighed and Sophie looked up at me.

“We’re finished with our homework, Mrs. Peepers,” Sophie said. “Our mom said we should have reading time in our rooms.”

Mrs. Peepers waved her hand and Sophie and I made our escape down the hall to our rooms. I threw myself on my bed and stared up at the ceiling.

“What’s with you?” Sophie asked, walking into my room. Sophie said I wasn’t allowed to be in her room, but I didn’t mind her coming into mine.

“I have no talent,” I said, crossing my arms over my face.

“I thought Mom was taking you to taiko lessons?”

I sat up. “She was, but I’m not good. I mess up when I play and I can’t remember the order of the song.”

“That’s what practice is for,” Sophie said, leaning against my desk.

“No,” I said. “Practice is for when you’re not good. If you’re talented, you don’t need to practice.”

“Who said that?”

“Maggie Milsap,” I said. “She’s the smartest and the best at everything in the third grade.”
