I had to get past Bryce and Shelly。 They deserved

each other—let them have each other!

But in my heart I knew that just like the new grass; I wasnt strong enough yet to be walked

on。 And until I was; there was only one solution: I had to

stay away from him。 I needed to rope him out of my life。

So I closed my ears to the news of basket boys and steered clear of Bryce at school。 And

when I did happen to run into him; I simply said hello

like he was someone I barely even knew。

It was working; too! I was growing stronger by the day。 Who cared about auctions and basket

boys? I didnt!

Friday morning I got up early; collected what few eggs there were in the coop; watered the

front yard; which was by now definitely green; ate

breakfast; and got ready for school。

But as I was running a brush through my hair; I couldnt help thinking about Shelly Stalls。 It

was auction day。 Shed probably been up since five;

making her hair into some impossibly pouffy do。

So what? I told myself。 So what? But as I was throwing on my windbreaker; I eyed my money

tin and hesitated。 What if …

No! No…no…no!

I ran to the garage; got my bike; and pushed out of the driveway。 And I was in the street and

on my way when Mrs。 Stueby flew right in my path。

“Julianna;” she called; waving her hand through the air。 “Here; dear。 Take this。 Im so sorry

its taken me this long to get it to you。 I keep missing you

in the mornings。”

……… Page 85………

I didnt even know how much she owed me。 At that moment I didnt care。 All I knew was the

top bill in her hand was a ten; and it was striking terror

in my heart。 “Mrs。 Stueby; please。 I …I dont want that。 You dont have to pay me。”

“Nonsense; child! Of course Im going to pay you。 Here!” she said; and waved it out for me to

take。

“No; really。 I …I dont want it。”

She wedged it in the pocket of my jeans and said; “What utter nonsense。 Now go! Go buy

yourself a rooster!” then hurried back up her walkway。

“Mrs。 Stueby… Mrs。 Stueby?” I called after her。 “I dont want a rooster… !” but she was gone。

All the way to school Mrs。 Stuebys money was burning a hole in my pocket and another in

my brain。 How much was it?
