Chapter 16: The Library
Study hall met in the library, and the library had one rule, which was silence.
The librarian enforced it with a pair of reading glasses on a chain and a stare that could stop a clock.
Cade and I took the back table behind the biography shelves.
I had my laptop open to a blank page titled NINETY SECONDS.
I had typed nothing for twenty minutes.
"Start with the tacos," Cade whispered.
"I'm not doing the taco joke again."
"It was a good joke."
"Nobody heard it."
"I'd like to hear it."
I almost smiled, and then the library door opened.
Heels, quiet and exact, crossed the carpet.
I knew them before I looked up.
Paisley set her bag on our table and pulled out a chair.
She wore her squad jacket with the captain stripe and her ponytail was tight enough to lift her eyebrows.
Behind her, three tables of students slowly stopped pretending to read.
"Hi," she said, at normal volume.
