“So this Mr. Pumpkin thing is like being Santa?” he asks Julie. “Girls can sit on my lap? Count me in, but I'm not wearing a beard. I don't want to cover up all this handsome face.”
“Try not to get yourself face-punched,” Julie says. Raye-Anne laughs into her hand, revealing that despite being sworn to secrecy, Julie blabbed about Facepuncher. I can't say I blame her, though—I told four or five people myself, including Gran.
The school's hallways empty and the four of us get to the Chemistry room, where we take our places on the low desks between the sinks.
I pull out my notebook and begin to doodle, waiting for class to begin. Tomorrow night, at James and Julie's Halloween party, Austin will make her public debut as my girlfriend. I saw her every day when she was in the hospital, but not as much recently. She gets tired easily, and she's been busy with hospital visits and rehabilitation.
Tomorrow, I'm dressing as Charlie Chaplin, because he's cool and doesn't have to say much. Austin says she has the perfect scary costume, but it's a secret. I hope she's not a witch.
I look down at the doodles I'm absent-mindedly drawing in my notebook and smudging all over my left hand. Crows. I've filled the margins with crows. I wonder what that means.
