The Astonishing Adventures Of Fan Boy And Goth Girl - Plot & Excerpts
You'd think after so many years at the same bus stop with the same kids that I would have made some friends in the neighborhood. But you'd be wrong. When your mother won't let you invite anyone over to the house, it's tough to make friends. And when people rarely visit your house, when your mother never gets involved with anyone else in the neighborhood, your house—and, by extension, everyone in it—starts to pick up that almost odiferous air of weirdness and otherness that marks you for isolation on good days, terrorizing on bad days. Today's a good day. They leave me alone. Dina's not on the bus (of course not—long shot, but it happened once, so it could happen again). I keep my backpack clutched tight to me. It has pages from Schemata in it, and I don't want anyone to see them. At school, I shuffle things in my backpack, concealing the Schemata pages between two folders for classes that I don't have on Monday. They'll be hidden there until later. I almost jump out of my skin when someone taps me on the shoulder from behind.
