Mom and Dad took the long way home coming back from Nolan’s school, because they wanted to avoid New York City traffic. I wanted to see New York City, even if only from the car, but Mom said that we might stop in Washington if we came to pick him up for summer vacation.
The trip was made even longer by Mom and Dad’s bad mood. Evan had been his usual annoying self throughout the trip, and they were both giving him a lecture about not embarrassing Nolan in front of his friends. No one ever complained about Evan embarrassing me in front of my friends, but I guess my friends already knew Evan. He would be grounded for a week when he got home, which he whined about the whole way through Pennsylvania.
It was about 7:00 in the evening by the time we got home. Mom heated up frozen fish sticks for dinner and then sent Evan to his room. She and dad went to their own room for a whispered conversation of the Serious Adult kind. Evan misbehaving was hardly unusual enough for a Serious Adult Conversation, so I started to suspect that something weird was going on.
The next day at lunch, all my friends were eager to hear about Nolan’s school.
“Is it like Hogwarts?” Naomi asked.
“Well, it looks more like UNC,” I admitted, “only smaller. But they do have prefects, and ghost stories. They say on Friday evenings you can hear voices coming from the basement of the science building that’s been locked up since the ‘50s.”
“Cool!” Benji exclaimed, “so, what did y’all do up there?”
“We ate breakfast in Nolan’s cafeteria – they have a waffle maker...”
“Sweet!” Grant and Zach yelled at the same time.
“Nolan said they gussied the food up a little when the parents were there, but even on a regular day he says it’s loads better than the cafeteria food here. And then we met some kids on Nolan’s hall.”
“Are they all rich?”
“Pretty much. His roommate’s dad is a brain surgeon. One of the other dads is some kind of TV talk-show host. We ended up talking to him longer than I wanted to, and then we went to the theater and they had kids from the drama department act out scenes from all different plays. It was weird because they didn’t have any sets or anything and the kids were doing, like, Romeo and Juliet in just jeans and a t-shirt, and Evan was acting up.”
“Ugh, I’m sorry.” Molly commiserated.
“I think Evan embarrassed Nolan in front of all his rich friends. But then we went to the football game and out to dinner.”
When I got home from band practice, it seemed like my hypothesis that Evan had embarrassed Nolan was correct. Mom and Dad were having another Serious Adult Conversation that I could overhear snippets of through my open bedroom door.
“Do you really think he’s fitting in up there? I felt like we were the country cousins come to town the whole time I was up there, and that Jasper kid...”
“Every other kid seemed happy to see him. And he’s writing those articles for the school paper. I don’t know what those kids are arguing about half the time, but I mean he’s already getting his articles on the front page. If what he told us is true, he’s probably better off up there than down here.”
“It was true. Don’t get your hopes up about that.”
“I always knew he was sensitive.”
“I knew from the look on his face that time Brenda McClure got all spun up about the Talbot boy at the deacons’ meeting. If she could keep her damn mouth shut maybe we wouldn’t have to drive 500 miles to see our son.”
“Well...”
“I checked out books from the library. You can’t tell him it’s a phase or he’s confused. He’ll think it means we won’t love him unless he changes it and they can’t change it.”
“Well, he was okay with us keeping it secret from the rest of the family.”
That got my attention. Nolan had a secret! Something to do with his boarding school that he had told Mom and Dad about but no one else in the family could know. Well, Nolan and Mom and Dad thought no one else could know, but I thought different.
