Beth
dried
her
hands
quickly
and
very
quietly
slipped
the
shaft
out
of
Margaret
’
s
lock
,
muffling
it
in
her
towel
.
Her
hair
dripped
on
her
hands
,
but
that
didn
’
t
matter
;
there
was
water
all
over
from
the
boys
’
gym
.
Beth
slipped
off
the
lock
and
opened
the
locker
door
,
slowly
so
it
wouldn
’
t
squeak
.
Her
heart
was
thumping
like
some
kind
of
little
animal
in
her
chest
.
It
was
a
fine
brown
purse
of
real
leather
.
Beth
dried
her
hands
again
and
lifted
it
down
from
the
shelf
,
listening
carefully
.
There
were
giggles
and
shouts
from
the
girls
in
the
shower
,
but
nothing
else
.
She
had
made
a
point
of
being
the
first
in
,
to
get
the
stall
nearest
the
door
,
and
she
had
left
quickly
.
No
one
else
would
be
through
yet
.
She
opened
the
purse
.
There
were
colored
postcards
and
a
new
-
looking
lipstick
and
a
tortoise
-
shell
comb
and
an
elegant
linen
handkerchief
.
Beth
pushed
through
these
with
her
right
hand
.
At
the
bottom
,
in
a
little
silver
money
clip
,
were
bills
.
She
pulled
them
out
.
Two
fives
.
She
hesitated
for
a
moment
and
then
took
them
both
,
together
with
the
clip
.
She
put
the
purse
back
and
replaced
the
lock
.
She
had
left
her
own
door
shut
but
unlocked
.
She
opened
it
now
and
slid
the
clipped
fives
into
her
Algebra
book
.
Then
she
locked
her
door
,
went
back
to
the
shower
and
stayed
there
washing
herself
until
all
the
other
girls
had
left
.
When
everyone
else
was
gone
,
Beth
was
still
getting
dressed
.
Margaret
had
not
opened
her
purse
.
Beth
sighed
deeply
,
like
Mrs
.
Wheatley
.
Her
heart
was
still
pounding
.
She
got
the
money
clip
out
of
her
algebra
book
and
pushed
it
under
the
locker
Margaret
had
used
.
It
might
have
just
fallen
there
from
Margaret
’
s
purse
,
and
anybody
could
have
taken
the
money
.
She
folded
the
bills
and
put
them
in
her
shoe
.
Then
she
took
her
own
blue
plastic
purse
from
the
shelf
,
opened
it
and
reached
into
the
little
pocket
that
held
the
mirror
.
She
took
out
two
green
pills
,
put
them
in
her
mouth
,
went
to
the
washstand
and
swallowed
them
down
with
a
paper
cup
of
water
Supper
that
night
was
spaghetti
and
meatballs
from
a
can
,
with
Jell
-
O
for
dessert
.
While
Beth
was
doing
the
dishes
and
Mrs
.
Wheatley
was
in
the
living
room
turning
the
volume
up
on
the
TV
,
Mrs
.
Wheatley
suddenly
said
,
“
Oh
,
I
forgot
.
”
Beth
went
on
scrubbing
the
spaghetti
pan
and
in
a
minute
Mrs
.
Wheatley
appeared
with
an
envelope
in
her
hand
.
“
This
came
for
you
,
”
she
said
and
went
back
to
the
Huntley
-
Brinkley
Report
.
It
was
a
smudged
envelope
addressed
in
pencil
.
She
dried
her
hands
and
opened
it
;
there
were
five
one
-
dollar
bills
inside
and
no
message
.
She
stood
at
the
sink
for
a
long
time
,
holding
the
bills
in
her
hand
.
