EllRay Jakes And The Beanstalk (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
I ask Alfie, my four-year-old sister. She is very cute, but please don’t tell her that. She’s bad enough. It is now Sunday afternoon, two days after my awkward talk with Kevin, and I am standing in the hall outside Alfie’s pink and purple bedroom. My new skateboard is tucked under my arm. I am trying to pretend that carrying it around is a normal thing, like how my dad carries his briefcase. But it still feels weird. And heavy. “What do you want my rug for?” Alfie asks. She is lying on her puffy bedspread, with a few plastic horses lined up in front of her. The horses are very un-horsey colors—orange, purple, blue. They also have long, silky manes and tails they would trip on in real life. Alfie is not big on real life, though, so that’s okay. “Henry says that first, I’m supposed to practice just standing on my board,” I say, wishing I didn’t have to explain this to Alfie.
