So I stand there and the group of them opens up, but it’s more like a reflex than anything.
No one says a word to me. They just keep right on talking about perpetual motion.
Perpetual motion.
My friend, I didn’t even know what perpetual motion was.
They were talking closed systems, open systems, resistance, energy source, magnetism… it was like joining a discussion in a different language.
And Juli, Juli was saying stuff like, “Well, what if you put the magnets back to back – reversed the polarity?”
like she really understood what they were talking about.
Then my granddad and her dad would explain why her idea wouldn’t work, but all that did was make Juli ask another question. I was completely lost.
And even though I was pretending to follow along with what they were saying, what I was really doing was trying not to stare at Juli.
When my mom called us for dinner, I did my best to pull Juli aside and apologize to her,
but she gave me the cold shoulder, and who could blame her, really?
I sat down across from her, feeling pretty low. Why hadn’t I said something to Garrett in the library?
