The Pen
Twenty-eight thirteen-year-old bodies stand in silence on a long piece of thin red tape outside the middle school wing. Their jaws are rigid. Sweat begins to form in small beads at the edges of their foreheads. A muffled laugh from a nearby classroom carries their way.

The Hack
The summer grass is tall outside the basketball court. Grasshoppers hum and jump. Dew drops from the blades as dragonflies buzz from one seedhead to another. Joe-Joe sits in the shade twisting his hair. Dwayne and Robert pull the weeds from the cracks in the court despite the heavy sun, while Dion yammers on about the candy-red Impala his daddy used to drive before the Hack.
