The Book Of Dares For Lost Friends - Plot & Excerpts
A kid Val didn’t know very well was telling everybody a story. His red baseball cap was on crooked. His hands were high in the air, as if he were holding on to an imaginary stick. “The old lady is holding a broom like this. She chases Lanora down the sidewalk and smacks Lanora on the head.” The kids groaned. “Whoa.” Val pushed closer so she could hear. She found herself standing next to the A Team. They were all sipping drinks through green straws. “Wham, wham, wham! The old lady hits Lanora with the broom until she drops what she lifted.” “What was it this time? Another toy?” “Nope. A key.” The kids all laughed. “Lanora the lame lifter.” The A Team smiled as they turned away. Val stepped in front of them. “Don’t you care that she’s in trouble? Wasn’t she your friend?” Alicia raised an eyebrow. “The woman with the broom?” Ariel tossed her cup toward a trash can that was overflowing with uneaten lunches. The cup missed, of course. The girls kept walking.
