Before school, Michelle arrived at her locker outside Mrs.Harper’s English class. Just inside the door Aisha and Tasha were stan
ding at the pencil sharpener. Mr. Carver was across the hall helping a student with a math problem. “Tasha,”Aisha said. “Jeremy invited me to go sledding down Robin’s Hill with a bunch of his friends Saturday and said I could invite someone. You want to come?”
“I don't know. I hate the cold, and besides, I’m not sure I like sledding. Why don’t you ask Michelle?”
Michelle listened as she stood out in the quiet hallway.
“Michelle?” Aisha said. “Oh, I don’t know. She and Jeremy don’t getalong very well.” Aisha and Tasha began walking back to their seats andout of Michelle’s ear shot.
Michelle did not walk anywhere right then. Her mind was elsewhere.
At lunch Aisha and Tasha sat at a table in the cafeteria. Michelle walked up with her tray and joined them. “So, I hear you’re going sledding,” Michelle said to Aisha.
