Prompt: July 3 – overheard, eavesdropping
“Who in the world would be reading Gray’s Anatomy here?” Despite his whisper, I clearly heard my classmate from behind the shelf of the school library.
“Who do you think?” Dudley replied. “ ‘I’m going to be a doctor!’ I’m going to be a doctor!’ ” There was a ripple of laughter in response to his falsetto mimicry of me.
“Good Lord, can’t he say anything else?” another boy asked.
“Well, with Holmes expelled what else does he have to talk about?” asked the first speaker.
“French pastries?” sneered Dudley and they laughed again as they left.
I blinked hard a few times, then clenched my hands and jaw. Perhaps there was still some of Holmes’s chemistry experiment left to drop into Dudley’s tea again.
