Back at home I get it into my head: I have to see John after school. It’s dumb just to talk on the phone. No wonder Francesca was surprised. So I plan it out: After dinner I hand my mother the sheet about the research paper. Then I explain that I need to spend a few afternoons at the main library in Jamaica. Instead I’ll go home with John. My mother squints as she reads the mimeograph.

“Don’t you have any friends you can go with? Like Jill?”

“She’s not in my class.”

“No one else?”

“No.”

My mother sighs. “Okay,” she says. “But you get on that bus before it’s dark.”
