First time I saw her was in the mirror on my locker door. I’d kicked my
swim gear onto the bottom shelf and was reaching to the top for my calc
book when she opened her locker across the hall. She had a streaked blond
ponytail dangling out the back of her baseball cap.
Great. Now I was obligated to rag on her for violating the new dress code.
Forget it, I decided. My vote – the only dissenting one in the whole student
council – still counted. With me, anyway. People could come to school buck
naked for all I cared. It wasn’t about clothes.
We slammed our lockers in unison and turned. Her eyes met mine. “Hi,” she
said, smiling.
My stomach fluttered. “Hi,” I answered automatically. She was new. Had to
be. I would’ve noticed her.
She sauntered away, but not before I caught a glimpse of her T-shirt. It said:
IMRU?
Am I what?
She glanced back over her shoulder, the way you do when you know
someone’s watching. That’s when it registered – the rainbow triangle below
the message. My eyes dropped. Kept her in sight, though, as she
disappeared around the corner.
I shifted my attention to my schedule. Brit Lit, calc, U.S. History, then art
and econ after lunch. Was I out of my mind? Why was I taking a full load
my last semester of high school? Weren’t we supposed to revel in this time,
embrace our friends, screw around until graduation? At some pivotal point,
of course, we’d decide the direction our lives were going to take. A derisive
laugh might’ve escaped my lips. Like I got to decide anything about my life.
I headed down the deserted hallway, clutching my books to my chest. This
is insane, I thought. I don’t even need the credits. I’d gotten to choose the
early track – first class at seven, last class at one – but then I added econ at
the last minute so I’d be finishing the day with everyone else. I drew a deep
breath – and coughed. Who needed to get stoned before school when you
got a free ride from the carpet-cleaning fumes?
Morning was a blur. As I stumbled to lunch, my head reeling from the
volume of homework I’d already accumulated, my anxiety mounted. I’d be
up till midnight, easy.”Babe!” Seth called across the crowded cafeteria. He loped to the double
doorway to meet me. Kiss me. “We’re over here.” He thumbed toward the
vending machines, snaking an arm around my waist and steering me along.
