Simone Elkeles Quote

Shelley, I say. You should've let him win. You know, to be polite. Shelley's response is a shake of her head. Applesauce drips on her chin. That's the way it's going to be, huh? I say, hoping the scene doesn't gross Alex out. Maybe I'm testing him, to see if he can handle a glimpse of my home life. If so, he's passing. Wait until Alex leaves. I'll show you who the checkers champion is.My sister smiles that sweet, crooked smile of hers. It's like a thousand words put into one expression. For a moment I forget Alex is still watching me. It's so weird having him inside my life and my house. He doesn't belong, yet he doesn't seem to mind being here.
