Excerpt #1
I changed quickly
and ran to the barn, Faye on my heels. The barn’s big double doors usually
stood wide open. But, tonight, they were closed tight. We each took a door and
yanked. I fumbled for the light.
Both of us
shrieked when we saw Junior’s low rider parked next to a wall of hay bales. The
last time I’d seen the car, it was covered in gray primer. But now, the 1976
Chevy Caprice had a shiny new coat of blue paint. Instead of a racing stripe,
an intricately designed rainbow swirled down the side panels of the long, low
car. The ginormous pink bow on its roof left no doubt as to Junior’s intent.
“Oh my God, Allie!” Faye said, walking around
the car and peering into the windows. “I can’t believe he gave you his car.”
Unable to speak, I
just stood and stared. I’ve never been good at accepting gifts. In the past, my
mother and I had been the recipients of so-called “charity.” You know, stuff
like Christmas baskets put together for poor unfortunates like Faye and me. In
a town the size of Peacock Flats, there are no secrets. Personally, I’d rather
eat Cup-O-Noodles for Christmas dinner than wonder how many people chipped in
to buy us a turkey.
Okay, turkey . . .
car . . . not quite the same. So, why wasn’t I jumping up and down with joy? It
takes money to buy gas and insurance. Money we didn’t have.
But, on second
thought, it was a truly hot ride, so maybe I should take a moment to savor the
experience of car ownership. I walked around the Chevy, trailing my fingers
down its satiny surface and wondered if it would be hypocritical to take it out
for a spin. Just one.
Faye opened the
driver side door and peered inside. “There’s something on the driver’s seat,”
she said. “Another envelope with your name on it.”
I ripped the
envelope open and pulled out a single piece of paper.
Hey!
I
know what you’re thinking. No way are you going to accept a gift from Junior
(almost said “your ex boyfriend” but who knows what will happen in the
future.). It’s not my car anymore so don’t argue. The title says, Alfrieda
Carlotta Emerson. The insurance is paid up – check the glove box for proof. The
gas tank is full. Look under the driver’s seat and you’ll find a wallet with a
gas card. Use it. The bill will be sent to me. If you don’t follow these
instructions, I’ll fly up there and kick your cute, little butt!
Oh
yeah, about the rainbow. It reminds me of the moonstone. You’re a special girl,
Allie. You need a special ride.
Love
ya, kid.
Junior.
