What happens when a girl falls in love with the class "dork". Will she betray him when she is teased by her classmates? A novel written in blank verse.
From Mom and Dad Used to Be in Love
But now they have
these hideous battles all the time.
They scream their guts out
at each other about thinks like
how they should be raising me
or about money or the in-laws
or even just what movie to go see.
Their shrieking whips around inside me like a tornado.
And no fingers crammed in my ears,
no pillows held over my head,
can block it out.
From The Meaning of Murphy
(Okay.
I laughed too.
But only so no one would think
I was strange.)
From But Suddenly
And he looks
so happy to see me
his tail's practically wagging.
