something besides passing the salt。 And does he want to get to know me? No! He wants to

know about Juli!

I couldnt just stand up and leave; even though thats what I felt like doing。 Somehow I knew

if I left like that; hed quit talking to me at all。 Even

about salt。 So I sat there feeling sort of tortured。 Was he mad at me? How could he be mad

at me? I hadnt done anything wrong!

When I looked up; he was sitting there holding out the newspaper to me。 “Read this;” he said。

“Without prejudice。”

I took it; and when he went back to looking out the window; I knew — Id been dismissed。

By the time I got down to my room; I was mad。 I slammed my bedroom door and flopped

down on the bed; and after fuming about my sorry

excuse for a grandfather for a while; I shoved the newspaper in the bottom drawer of my

desk。 Like I needed to know any more about Juli Baker。

At dinner my mother asked me why I was so sulky; and she kept looking from me to my

grandfather。 Granddad didnt seem to need any salt;

which was a good thing because I might have thrown the shaker at him。

My sister and dad were all business as usual; though。 Lyta ate about two raisins out of

her carrot salad; then peeled the skin and meat off her

chicken wing and nibbled gristle off the bone; while my father filled up airspace talking about

office politics and the need for a shakedown in upper

management。

No one was listening to him — no one ever does when he gets on one of his if…I…ran…the…

circus jags — but for once Mom wasnt even pretending。

And for once she wasnt trying to convince Lyta that dinner was delicious either。 She just

kept eyeing me and Granddad; trying to pick up on why

we were miffed at each other。

Not that he had anything to be miffed at me about。 What had I done to him; anyway? Nothing。

Nada。 But he was; I could tell。 And I pletely

avoided looking at him until about halfway through dinner; when I sneaked a peek。

He was studying me; all right。 And even though it wasnt a mean stare; or a hard stare; it was;

you know; firm。 Steady。 And it weirded me out。

What was his deal?

I didnt look at him again。 Or at my mother。 I just went back to eating and pretended to listen

to my dad。 And the first chance I got; I excused myself

and holed up in my room。

I was planning to call my friend Garrett like I usually do when Im bent about something。 I

even punched in his number; but I dont know。 I just hung

up。And later when my mom came in; I faked like I was sleeping。 I havent done that in years。

The whole night was weird like that。 I just wanted to be

left alone。
