Chapter

7

Unfortunately, it wasn’t as easy for me to stand my ground on Monday. Rachel showed up at the bus stop, first thing. She came running up the lane, waving at me like there was some emergency.

“Hullo, Merry,” she said, out of breath.

“What’re you doing here?” I glanced up the road for the bus.

“Didja think about it yet?” she asked, her cheeks red with the cold.

“Oh that…”

“Jah, ’cause we need to start making plans.”

“Well, I still don’t think it’s such a good idea.”

“But you’re my only chance, Merry,” she said, eyes pleading, hands rubbing together.

“You could go into town and have your picture taken,” I suggested. “That’s easy enough.”

“What…in one of them little booths with the black curtains?”

“Sure, why not?”

The bus was coming now. I could hear it rumbling before I actually saw it. I was positive she wouldn’t want to be stared at by the public school crowd—I read it in the frenzied look on her face.

Darting her eyes back and forth between me and the crest of the hill, Rachel seemed nearly frantic. “Aw, Merry…”

“Better relax,” I warned. “Go home, and we’ll talk after school.”

“I’ll come right over then.” She dashed off, her long skirt and apron flying under her woolen shawl.

“See you later!” I called to her, hoping I hadn’t offended my friend.

“Jah, see ya,” she replied.
