“This wasn’t true, and I don’t know why I said it. I’d never lacked for friends, growing up, and had related deeply to a number of different girls. We’d had forts and imaginary worlds, secret pacts and boxes full of notes about the minutiae of our lives, dropped into lockers, just like Lonnie. Each of these relationships had ended abruptly, each for its own unimportant reason, and then we had gone our separate ways.”
