She lives in Lakewood, Colorado. Visit her on the Web at www.julieannepeters.com.From the Hardcover edition.Chapter 1 I locate the room on the first floor where Mrs. Goins asked me to meet her. She was desperate, she said. So many seniors on the verge of not graduating, she said. Would I please tutor this one? A special one who needs special help with the senior project, she said.I guess I'm meant to feel special, but I have my own stuff to finish--like that damn Film Studies class Novak talked me into.I peek in. The classroom's empty. Did I get the room wrong? I've been losing whole blocks of time lately, spacing constantly. Where does life go when it's lost to you?My backpack slips off my shoulder and a note falls out of the front pocket."I'm dropping Film Studies," Novak wrote.An old note from the beginning of term. At the time I thought: Thanks. Abandon me, like everyone else has.I hear Mrs. Goins coming before I see her. She's . . . rustling? Maybe her thighs are rubbing together or something. Since the first of the year, she's put on, like, twenty pounds. A lot of people call her Meaty Loins.I would never do that.The person behind Meaty Loins materializes."Johanna, this is Robbie Inouye. Robbie, Johanna Lynch."Oh my God. Kill me now.Robbie Inouye scares the hell out of me. He might be retarded, or challenged, or whatever terminology you use to dance around the truth. He's definitely messed. His eyes aren't symmetrical, or could it be his head's on crooked? The corners of his mouth are always caked with dried-up spittle and he lumbers, drags his feet like Frankenstein. He's not big. I'm five eight and he's shorter than me, but he seems huge.Once upon a time, slow-moving Robbie would get jostled in the hall. I'd see people cut in front of him, making him stumble. Then came last November, right before Thanksgiving. I remember because Novak had been dumped by her boyfriend, Dante--again--and it was taking longer than usual to stanch the internal bleeding. We were in the restroom by the cafeteria. I got her past the point of slitting her wrists by reassuring her that she was an idiot for staying with him. "If I wasn't so fucking irresistible," she hiccuped, swiping at her nose, "I wouldn't attract vermin." "Exactly," I replied. I was late; I couldn't stay to hold her hand. "I'm better off without the asshole." "Too true." I had a midterm in trig and I'd blown the last quiz."Thank you, sweetie." Novak hugged me. "What would I do without you?" She held.<
