Thought I might fit in better that way, but it didn't work because I'd already been through 7th grade twice and I knew everything they were trying to teach.
I aced every assignment and every test and got bored because nothing was challenging.
I begged her to let me go to high school and that turned out to be a mistake.
I nod like I understand, but it still doesn't explain why she's driving so fast and why she looks scared.
The AC is blasting right in her face, but sweat still runs down her forehead.
She knows cops park just off the road out here and wait for people driving like maniacs.
People like her.
I'm not going back.
Mom sighs and shakes her head, takes her hand off the wheel, steering with her knees, and tucks some windblown hair behind her ear.
I see her eyes glance over at me from behind her sunglasses, with just the hint of smirk on her lips.
Normally she'd tell me to watch my mouth, but she lets it slide.
She taps ash out of the cracked window.
On her side of the car, desert stretches all the way to the horizon.
It's almost endless.
Just dirt and brush and rocks as far as you can see.
When the sun is burning on a hot day, the desert shimmers like it's not really there.
And all the rocks and bushes cast these long shadows on the sand.
On my side, it's the same thing, except for a few hills in the distance.
The sun must be right above us because I can't see it, but it's bright all around.
Mom and I burn pretty easy.
