Are you coming to Liza’s tutoring session today? I texted Alana after school, once I was home.

Alana: I’ll meet you over there.

Before I left to go to Liza’s house, I stopped at Max’s bedroom door and knocked twice.

There was a mumbled reply that I interpreted as “Come in,” so I opened the door. Max sat at his desk, drawing in a sketchpad.

“Hey, I’m leaving,” I said.

“Okay,” he answered without looking up.

“Do you want to come with me?”

“Nope.”

“You have a lot to say today,” I said. He’d been quiet on the ride home, too.

“Yep.”

I picked up the nearest article of clothing on his floor, a green Harry Potter shirt, wadded it up, and threw it at the back of his head. Max threw it back. It landed on the floor in front of me, and I noticed it was ripped at the collar.

“What happened to your shirt?” I asked.

“It caught on a fence.”

“What fence?”

“The one around the baseball field.”

“Fences are just jumping out and grabbing you these days?”

“I took a shortcut through the baseball field after school and the gate was locked. I had to climb it.”

“Wow. Look at you being all athletic.”

He flexed his biceps, and then shooed me away.

I pulled the door closed and walked next door to my aunt’s house. I found Liza in her bedroom sliding her feet into a pair of ballet flats. The first thing she said to me was, “You’re totally famous now.”

“Because one of your friends thinks I’m cool?”

“It’s more people than thought you were cool yesterday.”

“You’re a brat.” I looked her up and down, realizing she’d changed her outfit since getting home from school. “Are you dressed up for Tommy?” I teased.

“This isn’t dressed up. I was just gross from school.” She picked up her backpack. “You ready to take me?” She was looking at my outfit now, like she thought I should go change.

I glanced down at my jeans, two-toned T-shirt, and Chucks. “What?”

“Nothing,” she said. “Let’s go.”
