We
were
late
enough
that
everyone
was
already
at
our
table
.
I
avoided
the
empty
chair
next
to
Mike
in
favor
of
one
by
Angela
.
I
vaguely
noticed
that
Mike
held
the
chair
out
politely
for
Jessica
,
and
that
her
face
lit
up
in
response
.
Angela
asked
a
few
quiet
questions
about
the
Macbeth
paper
,
which
I
answered
as
naturally
as
I
could
while
spiraling
downward
in
misery
.
She
,
too
,
invited
me
to
go
with
them
tonight
,
and
I
agreed
now
,
grasping
at
anything
to
distract
myself
.
I
realized
I
’
d
been
holding
on
to
a
last
shred
of
hope
when
I
entered
Biology
,
saw
his
empty
seat
,
and
felt
a
new
wave
of
disappointment
.

The
rest
of
the
day
passed
slowly
,
dismally
.
In
Gym
,
we
had
a
lecture
on
the
rules
of
badminton
,
the
next
torture
they
had
lined
up
for
me
.
But
at
least
it
meant
I
got
to
sit
and
listen
instead
of
stumbling
around
on
the
court
.
The
best
part
was
the
coach
didn
’
t
finish
,
so
I
got
another
day
off
tomorrow
.
Never
mind
that
the
day
after
they
would
arm
me
with
a
racket
before
unleashing
me
on
the
rest
of
the
class
.
I
was
glad
to
leave
campus
,
so
I
would
be
free
to
pout
and
mope
before
I
went
out
tonight
with
Jessica
and
company
.
But
right
after
I
walked
in
the
door
of
Charlie
’
s
house
,
Jessica
called
to
cancel
our
plans
.
I
tried
to
be
happy
that
Mike
had
asked
her
out
to
dinner
-
I
really
was
relieved
that
he
finally
seemed
to
be
catching
on
-
but
my
enthusiasm
sounded
false
in
my
own
ears
.
She
rescheduled
our
shopping
trip
for
tomorrow
night
.
Which
left
me
with
little
in
the
way
of
distractions
.
I
had
fish
marinating
for
dinner
,
with
a
salad
and
bread
left
over
from
the
night
before
,
so
there
was
nothing
to
do
there
.
I
spent
a
focused
half
hour
on
homework
,
but
then
I
was
through
with
that
,
too
.
I
checked
my
e
-
mail
,
reading
the
backlog
of
letters
from
my
mother
,
getting
snippier
as
they
progressed
to
the
present
.
I
sighed
and
typed
a
quick
response
.
Mom
,

Sorry
.
I
’
ve
been
out
.
I
went
to
the
beach
with
some
friends
.
And
I
had
to
write
a
paper
.
My
excuses
were
fairly
pathetic
,
so
I
gave
up
on
that
.
It
’
s
sunny
outside
today
-
I
know
,
I
’
m
shocked
,
too
-
so
I
’
m
going
to
go
outside
and
soak
up
as
much
vitamin
D
as
I
can
.
I
love
you
,
