“Yeah, but my dad is videotaping it. And I can arrange it so I get to see the tape, and you don’t. Can’t I?”
My grandfather has a really weird smile. Especially when someone else wins. He didn’t say anything more about it.
He just started talking about football and didn’t even have to mention anything about my brother playing on a team with black kids.
I can’t tell you how bad it was last year since my brother was on the field graduating instead of up in the bleachers making my grandfather stop.
While they were talking football, I kept looking for Patrick and Sam, but all I saw were those graduation caps in the distance.
When the music started, the caps started marching toward the folding chairs set up on the field.
That’s when I finally saw Sam walking behind Patrick. I was so relieved.
I couldn’t really tell if she was happy or sad, but it was enough just to see her and know that she was there.
When all the kids got in the chairs, the music stopped. And Mr. Small got up and gave a speech about what a wonderful class this was.
He mentioned some of the achievements the school had made,
and he emphasized how much they needed support at the Community Day Bake Sale to start a new computer lab.
