Clouds ringed the horizon, but a large patch of blue was visible in the middle. I lingered by the window as long as I could, afraid that if I left the blue would disappear again.
The Newtons' Olympic Outfitters store was just north of town. I'd seen the store, but I'd never stopped there — not having much need for any supplies required for being outdoors over an extended period of time. In the parking lot I recognized Mike's Suburban and Tyler's Sentra. As I pulled up next to their vehicles, I could see the group standing around in front of the Suburban. Eric was there, along with two other boys I had class with; I was fairly sure their names were Ben and Conner. Jess was there, flanked by Angela and Lauren. Three other girls stood with them, including one I remembered falling over in Gym on Friday. That one gave me a dirty look as I got out of the truck, and whispered something to Lauren. Lauren shook out her corn silk hair and eyed me scornfully.
So it was going to be one of those days.
At least Mike was happy to see me.
“You came!” he called, delighted. “And I said it would be sunny today, didn't I?””I told you I was coming,” I reminded him.
“We're just waiting for Lee and Samantha… unless you invited someone, “Mike added.
“Nope,” I lied lightly, hoping I wouldn't get caught in the lie. But also wishing that a miracle would occur, and Edward would appear.
Mike looked satisfied.
“Will you ride in my car? It's that or Lee's mom's minivan.”
“Sure.” He smiled blissfully. It was so easy to make Mike happy.
Scornfully 轻蔑地
Minivan 迷你货车
虽然它不在天空中它通常应该在的地方——太低了——而且显得太远了，它本应该更近一些的。但它是货真价实的太阳。地平线上镶嵌了一圈云朵，但在天空正中，一大块的蓝色清晰可见。我在窗前徘徊着，尽可能多待一会儿，生怕我一离开那片蓝色就又消失不见了。
牛顿家的奥林匹克旅行用品商店就在镇子的北边。我见过这家商店，但我从没停下来过——我对适用于长时间待在户外的设备需求不大。在停车场，我认出了迈克的雪佛兰巨无霸越野车和泰勒的丰田花冠。当我把车停到他们的车旁时，我看到了站在巨无霸前面的那帮人。埃里克在那里，跟两个和我一起上过课的男生在一块儿。我很确定他们的名字是本和科纳。杰西也在那里，站在安吉拉和劳伦中间。另外三个女孩和她们站在一起，我记得我周五时曾摔在了其中一个女孩身上。当我走下卡车的时候，那个女孩轻蔑地看了我一眼，低声跟劳伦说了些什么。劳伦甩开像玉米穗一样的头发，轻蔑地看着我。
因此，这将成为这些日子的一部分。
至少迈克很高兴见到我。
“你来啦！”他高兴地喊道。“我说过今天会放晴的，对吧？” “我告诉过你我会来的。”我提醒他。
“我们只要再等一下李和萨曼塔……除非你还邀请了别人。”迈克补充道。
“没有。”我稍稍撒了个谎，希望不会被抓个正着。但我同样期待着有奇迹发生，期待着爱德华出现在这里。
迈克看上去很满意。
“你要坐我的车吗？我们开这辆还有李的妈妈的迷你货车。”
“当然是坐你的车。”
他喜滋滋地笑了起来。让迈克开心实在是件很容易的事。
