The Opposite Of Invisible (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
I feel the rain on me and I shiver somewhere deep into my middle, but I’m also on some other planet. It’s like I’ve started to molt. Out of my old skin, growing my new. I left late this morning, to decrease my chances of running into Jewel again. We managed a conversation the other day, but if I talked to him now, I’d be weird. I’d be the girl who wants her best friend back. I’d be the dramatic girl in mourning over the loss of childhood. I’d be mute. Simon’s at my locker. I walk over, say nothing, and wham, he’s got me up against the row of metal. When we come up for air, he says, “Sorry about Saturday.” “Me too.” But I know it’s not all okay. Something won’t let me let him in. I sit in Spanish class with Simon, trying not to watch Jewel in his group with Vanessa. I sneak a peek at Jewel and he’s looking out the window. I guess he’s watching the rain. We used to joke about counting raindrops, trying to say the biggest numbers in our heads. Googolplexes.
