Sandy effectively avoided April all morning
long. They
had a mid-morning trigonometry class in common. Sandy was
a grade behind April, but she was in the Advanced Math Program. Sandy often
tutored trigonometry to April after school. Today, she grunted when April
said hello and kept her gaze focused on her math book. April sat down kitty-cornered
and one row in front of Sandy and endured the class. Sandy couldn’t dodge
April at lunch. They had a standing lunch date for the last three years.
For awhile they ate in silence. Sandy broke the ice.
“It really happened didn’t it?” Sandy asked. “Yes, it did,” April replied. “At first I thought it was a dream, but it really happened.” They sat in silence a little longer. April’s cafeteria food was up to its usual standard of blandness. Sandy had wisely brought a lunch. “It was a good thing,” Sandy said around a bite of a cucumber sandwich. “Yes, it was a good thing.” April stirred her food absentmindedly and appeared to be having a revelation, as if realizing that it was a good thing for the first time. “Sandy, do you still have those scrapbooks?” “Yea, of course. Why?”
