  90. An Invitation from the Publisher

My point is she cuts. I saw her legs. The other times she got dressed in the bathroom and came out in her dino onesie. But this time I saw her legs. She cuts and she cuts bad.

Holly walked away to the other side of the bus stop, clapping her hands and stamping her feet. She waited over there for like thirty seconds, looking at the advertising, which was for Fifty Shades of Grey. Like we saw the trailer on YouTube and it looks like it’s about tall buildings, big offices and helicopters. Holly said it looked like it was about a bank. We didn’t read the book yet. I watched Holly watching the ad and when she came back I saw she had been crying. Her face was wet under her eyes. She put her hand on my arm and squeezed hard. I pulled away. I knew what she was telling me. She must have seen something.

Fuck off, I said, none of your business.

Does it hurt?

I nodded. All the time. That’s why I did it.

The bus came just then. We got on. Some boys from the boys’ school hooted and whistled. They always do. Boys take a lot longer to grow up. Down in the middle of them was Jason Clancy who fancies Holly. He used to be with Helen Minihan but she dumped him. She is a bitch. She is with a guy who has a job in the hotel now. Jason Clancy has a car. He smokes which is ew. He fancies getting into her pants anyway. I bet his hands smell of smoke. I don’t think it’s a soulmate thing. Holly ignores him. We sat second row from the front, that way we could just look at the road. There was an old woman with shopping bags in the front seat. She talked to herself and answered back. She was talking about something that happened at the shop. The neck of her, the brazen neck, I’m shopping here twenty years, miss. I have to call the manager. Go on then and we’ll see what he has to say about it and I coming in here this past twenty years, I know my rights.
