Dark Blue: Color Me Lonely With Bonus Content - Plot & Excerpts
I WAKE UP FEELING PERFECTLY FINE. WELL, AT LEAST physically. I still feel rotten on the inside. “How are you feeling today?” my mom asks after she cracks open my bedroom door and peeks in. I am still in bed, tired from staying up so late. “Awful,” I mutter, making my best attempt at looking sick. She comes into my room and touches my forehead again. I do not understand what makes mothers think they are walking-talking thermometers. But I think somewhere during the process of giving birth and changing diapers, they actually begin to believe they have this supernatural sense. “You feel normal to me, honey.” She pushes some hair off my forehead and smiles. “But I can make you an appointment with Dr. Peterson if you like.” Okay, I’m not dumb. Despite that warm motherly smile, I know this is a threat. I absolutely hate going to the doctor. I hate it when I’m sick and even more so when I’m not. “Fine,” I growl. “I’ll go to school, but if I spread some really horrible disease to everyone, they will all have you to thank.”
