This happened when Nicola was returning to her desk after asking Lindsay if she’d visited Shady Oaks the day before. Lindsay had pushed up her pink glasses and made a shooing motion with her hand. Either she didn’t want to talk just then, or she never wanted to speak to Nicola again. Nicola laid her forehead on the cool top of her desk. She was the one who had announced in front of the whole class that she didn’t want to sit with Lindsay. Why? Lindsay wasn’t so bad. Even though she wore pink glasses and was always talking about brides, she wasn’t really a clothes-and-hair girl. So why had Nicola been mean to her in front of everyone? The bad way she had treated Lindsay was becoming a feeling, a monstrous feeling. A feeling with horns. Nicola lifted her head off the desk and narrowed her eyes at Margo Tamm one seat ahead, all gussied up with hair thingies. With her finger and thumb Nicola flicked Margo’s shoulder as hard as she could.
