The Note

All Rhonda wanted to do after she got Tracy's note was to barricade herself in somewhere, and tiny little Appleton Library seemed as good a place as any. She brought a few schoolbooks with her and a sci-fi novel in case she just wanted to lose herself. But as she sat in the downstairs cubicle, all she could do was read Tracy's note over and over:

Rhonda,

I won't be going to leadership camp with you after all over Spring Break. My aunt offered to take me on a trip to Costa Rica, and I couldn't pass it up. Sorry. Hope you have fun!

Your friend,

Tracy

As Rhonda read over those last words, she felt a sob well up in her throat. She and her best friend Tracy had been planning their 10 days at leadership camp for months—how they would be roommates, go to classes, and study together. And now "sorry" is all she had to say? Rhonda fought back the tears, but it was of no use. Suddenly, she felt lonelier than she had ever been in her life.

Passage 2

No Take Backs

Not four feet separated us

when you spoke those fatal words,

the corners of your mouth quivering

I wanted to snatch them from the air,

make you take them back,

and return to a time

when every word you uttered

rang clear and pure and true

But the great ticking clock

that marks our minutes and hours

plods relentlessly forward

And there are no take backs
