Gradually, Lynette stopped inviting me over after
school. One day, on my way into the girls' bathroom, 1
overheard Lynette and Shelley Abrams discussing their
after-school plans at Dale's Ice Cream
"This afternoon is going to be so much fun," said
Lynette, "It's going to be you, me, and the rest of the
Fab Thirteens.' Just remember, no twelve-year-olds."
I heard a toilet flush and ecurried into an empty stall,
Their giggles felt like nedes. I heard the sinks running
and knew they were tossing their locks in the mirror.

the picture that it was.
