The Brilliant Fall Of Gianna Z. (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
CHAPTER 21 Thanks so much. Everything’s just fine now. Bye, Ruby! Take care, sweetheart!” Mom watches Ruby get into her mom’s car and ride away. “Do you want to call your mom?” she asks Zig. “I could give you a ride home.” “No, I’ll walk; the rain stopped.” He turns to me. “Call me if you need help later.” “Okay. Thanks.” But I can’t imagine thinking about leaves tonight, and suddenly, sectionals seem a whole lot less important. Mom waves to Zig before she closes the door. We climb the stairs to the kitchen, where Nonna’s waiting. “You.” Mom points to me. “Go work on your leaf collection.” She points up the stairs to my bedroom. My father stares at us, three generations of dripping women, with question marks in his eyes. “Mom, how can I—” “It’s due tomorrow, right?” I nod. “Then go.” Mom flicks her wrist up the stairs over and over, like she’s trying to shake off a bee that’s stinging her. “I need to get dinner started.” She sloshes across the kitchen floor and pulls a package of chicken from the refrigerator.
