Excerpt
The Great Wall of Lucy Wu
From The Great Wall of Lucy Wu At the end of the report folder aisle stood Talent Chang, steering a cart overflowing with school supplies. A huge econo-pack of tape was preparing to fall off the tip of a mountain of colored pencils and manila folders. "Hey, Talent," said Madison cheerily. "Don'tcha think you're getting carried away," I asked. "Even for you?" Madison elbowed me gently. Talent laughed. "I'm not shopping for myself, of course. I completed my shopping as soon as the school list became available." I imagined her breathlessly checking the school website until the supply list was posted. "I'm here with my parents. They're helping start a Chinese school." She looked at me. "It's going to be on Saturday mornings. You should come." Arrgh. That was so Talent. Such a know-it-all. Not would you like to come or maybe you'd be interested. Just assuming she knew everything and what everyone should do. "No thanks," I said, as if I were refusing a piece of gum. "Madison and I have basketball practice on Saturday mornings." This year, if the team made it to regional's, we got to stay overnight in a hotel. I think I would have chosen laundry-folding classes over Chinese school just to get back at Talent. "Lucy," Talent scolded, "Chinese school is much more important than basketball." "Really?" I raised my eyebrows as high as they would go, pretending to be surprised. "Do you need to speak Chinese to play basketball?" If she says that I need help on how to be Chinese, I'm going to wrap those eight rolls of tape around her mouth.
