Isaac Bade-
Unfortunately, Aunt Gaile had remembered to lock the front door again. I sighed aloud as I tried the knob. I couldn't fathom why she thought this was necessary; it had never struck me to be particularly pragmatic (and again I wished one of us could have had the prudence to procure a house key). I glanced over at the garage door's keypad, but instead of trying the code, I just sat again on the front steps in the rain. The keypad hadn't worked in months; no matter how much I tried it, I would not be allowed in.
I leaned against the front door and absently covered the edges of bits of paper from my backpack in prosaic scribbles. Scri-scritch, scri-scritch, scri-scritch.... My mind wandered back to the library, all the girls with their chittery laughs and fake smiles. Social pretense was such bull.
