Patrick lived in Emoryville, but every Saturday
morning he rode two city buses to his uncle's
bookstore
in Northview, where he worked. He didn't mind the
commute because he loved his job. He loved
spending time with his uncle, but he also loved
going to work because he had become friends with
Andrew, one of his co-workers. The boys would talk
about everything from baseball scores to movies
to favorite pizza toppings.
So this Saturday, when Patrick got to work, he and Andrew got to talking as they always did.
"Hey. Pat," Andrew said casually.
"Hey," said Patrick. "Did you have a good week?"
"Yeah." he said. "Great week. My basketball team
made it into the semifinals. The game is tonight.
We're playing Emoryville, our nemesis.
Before Patrick could say another word, Andrew
continued. "I don't like Emoryville. I don't think I
could
ever be friends with someone from that town. Our
schools are such rivals.
Patrick was speechless
"Where are you from, Pat? I can't believe I've never
asked you that before!"
Patrick fumbled over his words. "Not too far from
here " he said before he quickly changed the
subject to the new shipment of graphic novels.
