The gym echoes with the squeak of sneakers and the thud of a basketball. Dust motes dance in the late afternoon light slanting through high windows.

I bounce the ball once, twice, then stride over, my shadow falling across her pages. "What's up freak!" I shout, jaw set, heart slamming against my ribs.
