Surviving the Applewhites

Surviving the Applewhites

"Yeah, well, I don't intend to be here long anyway." Jake swung the net lightly across the tops of the grass and weeds, sending puffs of thistledown into the air.

Good, E.D. thought. "Where do you intend to go?"

"Back to Rhode Island."

"Yeah? Dad says your social worker told him there aren't any more foster families back there who'll take you. If you go back, they're going to send you to Juvenile Hall. They must have some kind of school there. You'd probably like it better than this one. At least the other students would be more your type."

Jake didn't say anything. He just struck at the tall grass as if the net were a scythe- one way, then the other- scattering seed heads and the blossoms of Queen Anne's lace.
