Before
“Nora, are you even paying attention to me?”
I looked up from the wood grain of the table and offered
Julia a sheepish grin. “I’m paying attention.”
It was halfway true.
She shook her head, exasperated. “How are you supposed to see
anything if you don’t even look?”
“You’re the one who wanted to come here,” I pointed out.
Our favorite haunt, mostly at Julia’s insistence, was a little café within
walking distance of both of our houses. It wasn’t all that scenic—the view
through the dust-coated windows consisted of a persistently shabby parking
lot and the back entrance of the even shabbier recreation center—but every
Tuesday at ten after one, the back doors of the rec center opened and the
members of Centennial High’s summer debate team started trickling out,
and the view improved.
Spying on people wasn’t my style, but it was Julia’s. So, with mild
reluctance, I agreed to be dragged here once a week all summer. It’s what
you do for a friend.
“Here he comes.” Julia reached across the table and tapped my arm.
“Can you be any more obvious?” I looked around and then glanced out
the window. “He’s going to think we’re creepy.”
Nate Gibson, the object of our attention that day, stood outside, deeply
involved in conversation with another member of the team.
“Who cares? We are being creepy.” Julia mimed a pair of binoculars.
I rolled my eyes. “Cut it out.”
Julia laughed, tossing her blond hair over her shoulder. “I’m just glad
you’re finally into someone who isn’t boring.”
I crossed my arms, watching Nate catch a set of car keys with one hand
and grin. “The others weren’t boring.”
“Are you kidding me?” She scoffed. “Please. Collectively, they had the
personality of a peanut, and you know it.”
“Whatever.” I slumped in my seat, knocking my sunglasses down over
my eyes. The AC unit next to me ticked to life, raising goose bumps on my
calves. Julia always shot down guys I liked, which meant I’d never actually
dated any of them. She said she was looking out for me and I should be
grateful. We both knew where I’d stood on the social hierarchy when we
met, so maybe she had a point.
Nate Gibson was a lot of things, but boring wasn’t one of them. He was
the sort of person Julia liked to ogle: conventionally attractive, captain of
the debate team, decent hockey player, popular. He was smart, too. He’d
been an alternate for Team Canada in debate last year, and I knew for a fact
that he’d been top of the class in biology. Julia had broken into the school
records to change her grade on a social studies project, and she’d shown me
a picture of his report card.
Those weren’t the reasons I liked him, though.
He had a nice smile, and he wasn’t afraid to speak up in class, and
once, I’d seen him doodling a field of flowers in the corner of his notebook.
