Chapter Four

Watching my mom ride her exercise bike gives me an idea. So far, all Aaron can do is fall over when he takes both feet off the ground. What if it is all about the feeling of pushing hard on the pedals? With an exercise bike, you can’t fall over.

“Mom, can Aaron come over after school?”

Her T-shirt is sweaty under the armpits. She takes a swig from her water bottle. She pedals faster. “Aaron’s a friend?”

“Yeah.”

“Sure. He can stay for dinner, if you like.”

“I don’t know if we’re that good of friends,” I say. “It’s kind of new.”

“Whatever works for you.”

“Can he ride your exercise bike?”

She wrinkles her forehead. “Does he want to ride it?”

“I think so,” I say.

“As long as it’s something he wants to do,” she says.
