TWELVE
THE MORNING OF THE METEOR SHOWER, I arrived at school with Harold and discovered a bright orange Volkswagen Beetle parked in my usual spot.
As I pulled in next to the car, I saw that Daisy was in the driver’s seat.
I rolled down my window and said, “Didn’t Josephine the banker tell us not to make any purchases for six months?”
“I know, I know,” she said. “But I talked the car sales dude down to eighty-four hundred dollars from ten thousand,
so in a way I actually saved money. You know what the color’s called?” She snapped. “Snap orange! Because it’s snappy.”
“Don’t waste the money, okay?” “Don’t worry, Holmesy. This car is only going to appreciate in value.
Liam is a future collector’s item. I’ve named him Liam, by the way.”
I smiled—it was an inside joke that literally no one else would get.
As we walked across the parking lot, Daisy handed me a thick book, Fiske Guide to Colleges.
I also picked this up, but it turns out I don’t need it because I’m definitely going to IU.
I always knew that college was expensive, but some of these places cost almost a hundred grand per year.
