I watch the scene as if I’m outside my body or in the middle of a bad dream and can’t wake up. For a few heartbeats, my mind goes absolutely blank. Then the scene comes barreling at me. All the air leaves my lungs as if I’ve been sucker punched. A flash goes off. I inhale. Then another flash and another. I turn around and try to find Logan. I hear her, but can’t see her.

“Who did this? Who did this?”

People stare, whisper, laugh, take pictures, and crane their necks to get a glimpse at the peep shows. I slam my locker door, but just my luck it bounces back and nearly clobbers me in the face. I reach in and grab a sticky note.

“Jew lover,” it says. I stand there staring at it. But then, like someone hit a switch, it all comes full circle. I smile, deliberate and challenging. Jew lover? Hell yeah. I’d gladly side with Jews and my grandpa any day over these racist, hateful assholes. I stick the note on the front of my sweatshirt, and start to pick off the rest.
