“Books?” Ridley looked disgusted. “Carry?” Lena sighed. “You’ll get them today, in your classes. And, yes, you have to carry them. You should know how this works.”
You know, thinking about it, how does Jackson High have enough money to buy books for every student but not enough to buy Gs for the sign outside? I went to a high school (only high school at that time) in a large city that couldn't afford books for everyone. We weren't allowed to take them home or even remove them from the classrooms without permission. I have also substituted in several large city schools and none of them had enough books, either.
