Excerpt from WHEN SHE HOLLERS
by Cynthia Voigt
|
Lunch wasn't possible. Tish picked out the soup, and a box of milk, and ice cream to put on her spoon and not-eat in little nibbling bits. She sat with the usual - Chrissie, Angie, Daniella, Shantal, Jen and Judy, Megan, Maria, Tiffany. Lindsay and Crystal were both absent that day, too, along with Heather, but Tish didn't know why about them. The usual bunch of them had their usual end section of a long cafeteria table, and sat down in no particular order. Some days they all talked together, some days they broke up into separate conversations. They weren't really a clique, although sometimes it looked like they were.
