"So what do all of you want to do this morning and afternoon?"
asked a cheerful Albina after she dropped the bomb that they
could not register for electives until 4:45pm. It meant no
dinner line if you looked on the bright side. On the dark side
it would mean getting stuck with mindfulness or metal shop until
January. Corianne thought: "I've been tricked," as she sat
eating a Shredded Wheat biscuit with honey and skim milk. She'd
found the traditional Shredded Wheat on a shelf with the cereal
in boxes rather than in the big gravity flow containers at the
Bar Bar.
Tikvah had Boo Berry, and her usual grapefruit juice. Corianne
preferred either cranberry juice cocktail or Hawaiian Punch.
Corianne waited for the second round of being screwed. Life was
just not fair.
"I'd like to go swimming," Tikvah began.
Corianne listened to the grunts and waited for Suri to suggest
games. it was Nelia, the girl with big, round shoulders who
suggested them, and she wanted to go to the gym because they had
those little wheeled things that you could crab run on. A crab
run was a crab walk but faster. "Maybe we can play races," Nelia
suggested.
"I think they have jump ropes," Suri chimed in. "We can tie two
together and play Little George Washington. At least it wasn't
kickball or base tennis or flag football, but those games would
come in due time, because they had already played one dismal
game of volleyball.
"I really need to go to the library?" Corianne knew she could
not derail the games train.
"What do you need at the library?" Albina chirped.
"I want to borrow a Bible."
"OK, you can take care of that. Just join us in
Rapinoe-Conolly-Brinker in the back of the gym when you get your
book." Albina dug in her backpack and pulled out a piece of
cardboard on a white piece of yarn. On the cardboard was written
PASS in, big, black, Sharpie letters. Corianne slipped the pass
over her head. The string felt warm against her neck.
"Can I have a library pass too, please?" begged Tikvah. Tikvah
also got a pass. "Buddy system, and I'll be looking for you in
the gym."
"No problem," Corianne managed to chirp back.
When breakfast broke up, Albina gave Corianne and Tikvah
directions to Crosby-Magnoni, the high school, social sciences,
administration, and library building. "We don't need a special
form to borrow from the high school library?" asked Tikvah.
Albina shook her head.
And they were off...
