Kadie approached Albina as they waited in line at the mail room
window in Landon-Burchard-Durren in the middle of Wednesday
afternoon. Above them the sounds of cafeteria workers' radio
tuned to a Latin Hits station drifted down. As Albina strained
her ears, she realized the music was reggeaton. "How long has it
been since I danced?" she wondered. "Maybe I can get the girls
interested in social dancing, especially line dancing."
"You OK?" Kadie intruded.
"Glorious," snarked Albina.
"Two of my girls are in detention after Team Project, and maybe
more if this keeps up."
"I'm sorry. I had a girl in detention on Tuesday. She took it
badly."
"Of course she did. This school is so big, strict, and
impresonal."
"What did your girls do."
"Act like kids....Ms. Grosse who teaches social studies on Team
Two is a bitch. I'm sorry, but this is the second kid this week
she's sent to detention...and then there's Ms. Darling who
teaches math. I swear no where else do kids have to memorize
times tables, fractions, decimals. No wonder they complain."
"Is that what Ms. Darling does?"
"All the math teachers do it and Treya is a spirited girl. No
wonder she rebelled."
"So you have one kid who's in detention from social studies and
another from math."
"Yeah.... it sucks. Plain English."
"I somewhat agree with you."
"You think the teachers are right."
"Teachers have to keep order."
"Well I'm down two girls so what do I do with six?"
"Wolves and bunnies, Break through the Gate, Ms. Albina May I."
"With six kids, that's not quite enough."
"You should have been a gym teacher."
"I was a government major."
"I was a religious studies major."
Kadie rolled her green eyes. "So what am I going to do in a half
hour when Team Activity lets out?"
"Just choose a game from the menu. You can even pretend to feel
nostalgic back to when games were all you wanted to play."
"I preferred real sports by the time I was ten...say, how would
your girls like to play flag football."
"It would be eight on six."
"Two of your girls are couch potatoes, if you don't mind my
saying so."
"Really...."
"Haven't you noticed, the little one who wears tights and her
friend are always there in body only when you have games."
"You mean Tikvah and Corianne. Tikvah walks four miles each way
to synagogue every Saturday and Corianne is taking Advanced
Aquatics. "
"Well, lah ti dah.... Why not give those two library passes and
we can have a six on six game. You must be awful sick of little
girl games."
"I enjoy Suite Advisor May I."
"You're a closet sadist, Albina."
"The girls enjoy a challenge too."
"Yeah, but I still prefer real sports."
"How are we going to measure downs?"
"Approximate it, or just have two chances to move the ball a
decent amount. You can always adjust the rules."
"OK, we can play on the Quad since the real football players
will probably be using the field."
"Yeah, I was thinking that too. I'll get the flags. You get the
ball and we'll meet outside Oberto-Magnorian with the girls."
Albina was glad she had passes in her backpack. She would not
miss either Corianne or Tikvah's low grade sulk. "Thank you
Kadie," thought Albina.
