Days I’ve Lost My List Journal
“FRANK SINATRA.”
“Which song?” Auden asks.
“Just write Frank Sinatra.”
“But Mr. Green wants us to be specific.”
Carter sighs. He’s sitting in the grass across from me, his arms hugging
his kneecaps, arguing with Auden. I’m too distracted to pay attention,
watching Carter roll up the sleeves of his T-shirt, the white fabric
contrasting against his dark skin. I’ve never been grouped with him before,
but now that we’re here, I can’t seem to concentrate on anything outside his
physicality.
When he moved here sophomore year, I remember thinking he looked
different from the rich white boys I’d always been surrounded by—them
and their Bermuda shorts and collared shirts, him and his dingy T-shirts and
baggy basketball shorts. I couldn’t look away. But when he finally met my
gaze, he instantly dropped it. I don’t know. For some reason I thought he’d
see me, really see me, considering we have the same dark complexion, but
no. He looked at me just as apathetically as he looked at everyone else.
“Huh, Quinn?”
I look up from the stubble on Carter’s chin to find him staring back at
me, his brows pinched, like he’s wondering if I’m mental.
My cheeks warm as I cover my mouth with my fingertips. “What was
the question?” I ask Auden, too afraid to look at Carter again. This is the
third time he’s caught me gawking today.
Auden shifts his eyes impatiently. “Any soundtrack suggestions for our
JFK screenplay? The project we’ve been working on for hours now.”
I lower my hand to the base of my throat. Right. I swallow and look for
answers in the cloudless sky. “What songs do we have so far?”
