Chapter 16Spring break came much too soon. It seemed like everyone else on campus couldn’t wait to get away, but for me it just meant a week without Anne. I forced myself to look on the bright side - I did miss my family, and I’d get to spend some time with them.
Anne rode with me on the trip back, splitting gas money. I dropped her off at a nice house in a nice section of Arlington, one of the northern suburbs. My old clunker really stood out among all the new, fancy cars. I’d never really thought about the differences in our backgrounds before, and I was glad Anne wouldn’t be driving through the neighborhood in South Boston where I lived. I’ve never been ashamed of where I’m from, and Anne wasn’t the type of person who would look down on anyone, but she didn’t need it rubbed in her face
