тАЬWell,McLean,тАЭ he growled. тАЬDo you think IтАЩd be out of line if I asked you if you could maybe,
possibly, you know, likehurry just a little? IтАЩve been sitting here like a knot on a log тАЩtil IтАЩm about
halfway mildewed.тАЭ

A tall, slender boy straightened from where he had been thumping around on the floor of the closet in the
opposite wall. He aimed an exasperated glare at David, one hand snagging a pair of shiny black ankle
boots, the other grasping a pair of wrinkled burgundyENOTAH COUNTYтАЩPOSSUMS sweatpants. He
rolled his eyes with the tolerant resignation of the much-put-upon.

тАЬGive me a break, Sullivan,тАЭ he retorted sourly. тАЬThis packing for two trips at once is a real bummer.
Camping overnight with the M-gang and staying six weeks at GovernorтАЩs Honors with the brightp. 11est
kids in Georgia demand fundamentally different logistical and aesthetic approaches.тАЭ

тАЬHa!тАЭ David snorted at his friendтАЩs attempt at high-flown language, which he didnтАЩt have the patience for
just then. тАЬDidnтАЩt takeme all day.тАЭ

Alec gave the sweats a tentative sniff and wrinkled his nose distastefully, but nevertheless stuffed them
into the backpack. The shoes thunked into one of the suitcases. тАЬWell, considering thatyour entire
wardrobe consists of holey T-shirts, scruffy jeans, scuzzy sneakers, and sweaty red bandanas, IтАЩm not
surprised.тАЭ He turned around and began rummaging in his chest of drawers.

David sighed and glanced down at his current attire, which indeed precisely reflected his friendтАЩs
assessment: plain white T-shirt stretched tight across a chest that had thickened considerably in the last
year; cutoff Levis beltless around a narrow waist, their side seams ripped almost indecently high; Sears
second-best sneakers loose on sockless feet. He raised a black eyebrow into a tossled forelock of thick
blond hairтАФshorter now than he had ever worn it, though still nearly shoulder-long in back. тАЬI resent that,
McLean! IтАЩve got two pairs of cords andтАФтАЭ

тАЬOne of which I gave you for Christmas.тАЭ

тАЬтАФand a paisley shirt.тАЭ

тАЬWhichLiz gave you.тАЭ

David flung down the comic and stood up, stretching his fingertips to the dormerтАЩs ceilingтАФat
five-foot-seven, it was nice to be able to touch a ceiling somewhere. He began to pace again: four steps
along the narrow space between the front wall and the foot of the bed, and four steps back. тАЬJust move
it, okay?тАЭ

Alec frowned, unloaded a stack of white Fruit-of-the Looms into the closest suitcase, and snapped it
closed. тАЬIt was your idea to try to fit in a last-minute camping trip before we leave.тАЭ

тАЬAnd yours for us to head straight to Valdosta from camping.тАЭ

тАЬThereby saving me at least an hour of Mad Davy Sullivan and the Mustang of Death.тАЭ
