EXCERPT:The sound of an old bell echoes all around me as I stare at the school. It could have been built before my grandparents were ever even thought of. Two levels of solid weathered red brick with white columns around the arched main entrance are the only things standing between me and a fresh start—a fresh start that I want to run from.
"Honey, staring at it won't make it go away," my mother says through the passenger window, leaning from the driver's seat of her beat-up faded green minivan that’s about one mile away from expiring. When we bought it, it was the only vehicle in our price range that was bigger than a skateboard.
I glance back at her as her eyebrows knit together. My mother has always been a pretty woman. Her shoulder-length blonde—now slightly grayer—hair frames a proportional face complete with steely blue eyes and a small, pointed nose. She has thin lips, with a few more wrinkles around her mouth and eyes than I care for, knowing I put them there.
"It will be okay, Fallon. We’ll make this work. I promise," she says, trying to look reassuring. She sees the concern etched on my face.
I face the school, closing my eyes while I breathe in slowly. I hold it as I count to five before releasing it into the air along with the build-up of stress in my body.
"I have to go. I'll see you here at four?" I hitch my bag up my shoulder, checking back with my mom.
"I'll be waiting. Have a great first day. I love you," she smiles, then rolls up the window before driving away.
I stare at the school again. My view from the sidewalk has my stomach in knots.
"It has to work out," I say out loud to myself as I force my feet to move forward. "We're out of options."
