Archibald was a junior, and while he was beginning to think about college, his major focus during the autumn was quarterbacking his high school football team. Jockabeb couldn’t wait to start the school year, especially since he’d made the varsity football team as a sophomore. During the first week of October, two large envelopes arrived in the mail. One was addressed to Archibald, the other to Jockabeb. The envelope addressed to Archibald was from Troy, New York. Opening his at the kitchen table, Archibald found a letter and a copy of The Record, Troy’s local newspaper. In her letter, Willow said that even though she loved her new school, she missed her friends at Sub-Station Zero. She went on to say that Koro had accompanied her to Troy for orientation at Emma Willard. On the way there, he’d told her how proud the Moonlight Clan was of her, even if she was becoming a topsider. Koro had really liked the Emma Willard campus, and he’d told her that he couldn’t wait to come back up to Troy in mid-October for Parents Weekend.
