Jemmie brushed a hand across Cody’s buzz cut. I pushed my damp bangs off my forehead with the back of my arm. You know what day it is? He swung around, hugging the ball. Say, Cass! yelled Ben’s little brother, Cody. Barnett’s, taking shots at a rusty hoop left over from his grown-up kids.
We were all together, shooting hoops in the street in front of Mr. I liked things the way they’d always been in the neighborhood. But I knew everything was about to change. Me? I wanted to run track for real, sure. His best friend and shadow, Justin, would do whatever Ben did. My kind-of-boyfriend, Ben, wished he could skip summer and high school and hit the road. She couldn’t wait to get to high school, where we could run track for real. Jemmie, my best friend, hoped summer would go by quick. But Saturday didn’t count since I’d had to help Mama clean house. It was the first day of summer vacation-well, second, really.
