Mom and Dad were probably a little nervous, too, but they acted all excited for me,
taking pictures of me and Via before we left the house since it was Via’s first day of school, too.
Up until a few days before, we still weren’t sure I would be going to school at all.
After my tour of the school, Mom and Dad had reversed sides on whether I should go or not.
Mom was now the one saying I shouldn’t go and Dad was saying I should.
Dad had told me he was really proud of how I’d handled myself with Julian and that I was turning into quite the strong man.
And I heard him tell Mom that he now thought she had been right all along.
But Mom, I could tell, wasn’t so sure anymore. When Dad told her that he and Via wanted to walk me to school today, too,
since it was on the way to the subway station, Mom seemed relieved that we would all be going together. And I guess I was, too.
Even though Beecher Prep is just a few blocks from our house, I’ve only been on that block a couple of times before.
In general, I try to avoid blocks where there are lots of kids roaming around.
On our block, everybody knows me and I know everybody. I know every brick and every tree trunk and every crack in the sidewalk.
