Somewhere Between Luck And Trust - Plot & Excerpts
School, like prison, held no fond memories, and she had attended as infrequently as she could. She had perpetually been in trouble, for truancy, for not paying attention, for not turning in homework. In ninth and tenth grades a girlfriend had written Cristy’s English papers in exchange for Cristy doing her household chores. That way the girl could hang out with a running back on the football team while her parents were at work. Cristy had contributed what she could to the papers, telling her friend what she remembered from classroom lectures, and even, sometimes, her opinions on the subject, so the friend could include them. The friend hadn’t been a particularly talented writer or student, but for the most part Cristy had received B’s or C’s on their mutual effort, which had allowed her to squeak by. The arrangement had worked until the girl’s mother came home early one afternoon to find Cristy vacuuming the living room. After both sets of parents banned the girls from spending time together, Cristy had given up on school.
