I’ve never waltzed in a fluffy dress. I’ve never waltzed with a boy. I’d like to do that someday, maybe get a prom picture and show it to my children. I wasn’t such a nerd. Here’s proof, I’ll explain. pg97 My dance partner keeps reminding me not to stare at the orchestra. He’s perfectly content . . . because he likes me . . . just the way I am. And in this exquisite moment, I like who I am. Everything is so perfect, until I look up and see his face. Arnold! Can’t I have a private dream where nobody intrudes from my real world? pg96 I think I’m gonna miss this guy. He gets me a little amped-up, but it’s never boring since he arrived. pg96 I sort of get Mom’s unspoken signals: don’t argue the point. That’s the hard part because he’s wrong. He’s wrong a lot. Can two opposing arguments be true at the same time? All at once, it hits me: he’s toying with us. He almost got me. I feel a little chuckle bubbling inside, proud that I’ve put it all together. He doesn’t believe this is Mexico. He doesn’t think everything north slants south. He’s forcing me to think by throwing tiny logic-loopholes at me. He’s a mind-games guy. This is his way of inviting me to come out and play, and it’s fun . . . in a sick way . . . but my kind of sick. pg95 Mom pushes an open palm between us. A truce signal, I guess. Dad says a blessing over our meal, then Grandfather is off to the races with his knife and fork. Small wonder they don’t spark. pg94 He looks around, extremely pleased with what he sees. “Dining? All together at the common table? Well then, let us dash to the cupboards and gather our evening victuals.” pg92 “Guest?” The very word sticks in my throat. “I can’t wait for Grandfather to leave, but I’m starting to worry that I’ll miss him.” “I warned you about that. He’s a master of delusion. A delusion can grow on you.” I look out the window, watching Dad and Bosco poolside, smoking pipes, and reading newspapers. “Then, who is Dad with?” “That’s my point. I should have warned your dad too. As long as Grandfather Pettibone is here, our lives will be topsy-turvy. We can still be polite, and we can still lead civilized lives.” pg92 On the walk home, all I’m thinking about is Dotty’s advantages: no meddling parents, all those extra body parts . . . and John. Why would anyone like her feel like a failure? And the giga-shocker, why suicide? pg90 “Maybe I should move away. Start all over.” Only an hour earlier that was my wish. Now, her moving away isn’t so attractive. “Or maybe you could just learn to say no.” pg88 By the time we graduated junior high, the other kids observed I wasn’t as pretty as Dotty. It wasn’t as though Dotty and I hadn’t noticed. She would never bring up such a thing, but I was constantly batting away comparisons by troublemakers. I thought all that would fade away after we became adults, in high school. It didn’t. pg87 Maybe I should respect Dotty’s struggle. Things are probably confusing on her new plateau of life. It’s possible that a wiser woman, someone with a degree in Dealing with Popular Girls, would view Dotty’s life more sympathetically. They might conclude I should pity her. They would be wrong. Adults are wrong all the time. I think I’ve mentioned that. pg84 As crazy as my home life is, school life is crazier. Nothing mystifies Americans more than teenage girls. Teenage girls mystify teenage girls. pg83 | |
