It was the summer right before ninth grade. I’d been working at Kemetic Pages more than a year now, every day right after school. I saved most of everything I made. Making about seven fifty an hour and working about twenty-five hours a week, I saved almost eight thousand dollars on my own. Miss Sylvia was the one who helped me start my bank account, and that’s where nearly all the money went every pay day. I was saving up for when I moved out of Gracie’s house and went to college.
gracie better not try no slick shit either
