‘I thought you’d read it,’ Georgia noted as she hunted for a pen.
‘Twice,’ Julius said. ‘But I still want the signed copy you promised me.’
‘OK,’ Georgia sighed, writing a message inside the front cover as a waitress arrived.
Georgia got coffee and cake, Julius a pot of tea and a tuna melt.
‘And how’s the love life?’ Julius asked, once the waitress was out of earshot.
‘Ugh,’ Georgia said, sighing as she slid the just-signed book across the table. ‘I never seem to get a handle on that …’
‘Same as,’ Julius laughed. He spun the book around and opened it to read Georgia’s message.
‘It’s cheesy,’ she warned.
But Julius smiled when he read it:
It’s not easy to change the world.
But you gotta keep trying, right?
Georgia Pack.

Read on for a taster …
1 SLASHED RUBBER
Deion Powell was the king of high school. Stubbled and swaggering. Powell 03 on the back of his practice jersey and a splayed walk imposed by monstrous thighs. An amber late slip flapped in his hand as the starting quarterback bowled the empty hallway, crunching in desert grit trailed from the parking lot.
‘Whatcha staring at?’ Deion snapped instinctively as a skinny ninth grader came out of an empty classroom. He had to hook the door with his sneaker because there was a set of textbooks stacked to his chin.
The kid jolted. Catching the door frame with his shoulder, almost spilling Algebra 2s, before Deion’s bunched fist set him off in a rodent scuttle.
But there was too much in Powell’s head to enjoy the humiliation. There’d been a tussle in the locker room after Monday night practice. A minor miracle that the coaches hadn’t found out. And that morning, Deion’s kid sister bounced for the school bus, but doubled back before clearing the driveway. Uptight and wide-eyed, the nine-year-old blurted that the front tires on his truck had been knifed.
So, the quarterback took a city bus and fifteen-minute jog, missing first period and catching a lecture from a tattooed school clerk, who’d heard too many excuses to care if they were true or not. Third late arrival since summer recess. Can’t come and go as you please, making like you’re above the rules.
Stress bulged Deion’s veins. Sweat glazed his oak-brown skin. Should have taken a picture of my tires to show I’m no liar. Five hundred bucks for new ones. Must have been JJ. Will everything kick off again? What if we bump JJ’s crew in the hallway? And no way to avoid it in the locker room …
