upset. Really. Sometimes it just feels good to scream.
I mean, Cory is my friend. I canât get angry when good things happen to him â right?
I pulled my head from the locker and gazed down the hall. Laura Grodin was leaning against the wall, talking to Cory. She kept running a hand through her straight red hair and blinking her green eyes at Cory.
He was flashing the twenty-dollar bill in her face. And bragging about what a good finder he is. I heard him say he could sniff out money from two blocks away.
Ha. Guess he also plans to sniff out the scholarship money that I desperately need.
I watched him showing off to Laura. And I thought:
I donât want anything bad to happen to Cory. I just wish there was a way to borrow his good luck for a while.
Cory and Laura walked off together. I saw Mr. Grady, a school janitor, up high on a ladder in the middle of the hall. He was reaching both hands up to replace a ceiling light.
Cory and Laura stopped at one side of the ladder.
Mr. Grady had the big metal light fixture inboth hands. What happened next seemed to happen in slow motion.
The janitor let out a cry. I saw the heavy fixture slip from his grasp.
Laura was talking to Cory. She didnât see it fall. It was going to crush her head.
I opened my mouth in a horrified scream.
