Day Two

Leisurely pacing the long dock barefoot, I listen to Garrett read to me as he sits on the edge with his feet swishing in the water. Afraid of drowning, Zoe is sunbathing on a nearby lounger that’s sinking into the white sand beach.

“‘Got to go, Bob. Nice hang’,” Garrett recites Deadpool. “‘S’Cool the horse tranquilizer is kicking in’.” He chuckles under his breath, and I catch him shaking his head in amusement as he continues down the comic book page. “‘When he passes out, please put one of those Dog Cones around his neck’.” Garrett snickers again, wind bustling through his hair. “‘You paid cash. So sure…’”

No sooner than my eyes fluttered open this morning, did I have an excited sixteen year old welcoming himself into my room. It was a good thing I wore pajamas to bed.

“Time to learn, Ms. Gwen. Time to learn!” Garrett shouted, eagerly flinging his words next to his temple using his fingers. Which looks a lot like he’s trying to cast a spell into the air as he concentrates on what he wants to say.

Flipping onto my back, I groaned, teasingly. “Come, on, Garrett; just another five minutes.”

Garrett was having none of that when he yanked my covers off the bed and dropped them into a pile on the floor. “No, Ms. Gwen. I have to work today at the library. I need to learn now,” he explained. And with that, I poured out of bed, scurried into the bathroom, tossed on a pair of shorts and a blue tee before tying my hair up into a ponytail before starting my day.

“Breakfast first, Ms. Gwen,” Garrett said as he escorted me to the kitchen where he ate a bowl of Lucky Charms sans the green clovers that are magically delicious. He’d picked them out beforehand, as I ate a bagel on the stool beside him.

Afterward, we headed to the classroom, which isn’t anything more than a white room with four walls, one window, a dry erase board, and two desks—one for him and one for me. It’s blah, and not conducive for learning. So I decided we were going to have class outside today on the deck. It’s beautiful out here at a balmy sixty-five degrees without a cloud in the sky.

We’ve been outside for a few hours, moving from one comic book to the next. At first, I’d tried to peak Garrett’s interest with a Harry Potter novel. Nope. Didn’t work. Then, I tried another tactic. I sent Zoe out to collect some comic books at this shop in town that we’d passed yesterday. Once she returned, I promised Garrett that if he read five of them to me nonstop, I’d give him a prize. Those Tetris socks I purchased yesterday are for him. I was just going to give them as a gift, but why do that when they can be earned? The motivation seems to be working. He’s almost finished with comic number four. Apparently, his past teachers were idiots, because it took me less than a day to have him reading aloud.
