Sadie's Last Days on Earth Page #2

You can "half" it all!

- Brennan might be coming over

after school, if that's okay.

- She hasn't been over for ages,

that's wonderful.

- Gotta go!

Merry Christmas!

Love you!

- I try to be at school

right on time.

Not early, not late, just the

minimum amount of time I have

to spend in that

precarious structure.

Hiya, Teddy.

- Wotcher, Sadie!

You would not believe

my morning.

Wait, can't you smell it?

Disaster's in the air.

- Please don't.

- What?

One more month.

- 26 days actually.

- Hey, hey, hey, you can

see history class from here.

- You know I can't walk

through the old part of school.

- It's 40 feet.

- And earthquakes happen

in an instant,

I will see you there.

- Sadie, I really liked

your presentation yesterday.

I think this place is

due for a soft reset.

- Right? Are you readying

yourself?

- No, I'm too, like,

here, for preservation.

- Hi, Brennan.

- Sadie.

- How you been?

- Fine.

- It's good, good, I'm glad.

Oh!

Here.

- What's this?

- Early Christmas presents

since there won't...

- be another one.

- Yeah.

- Thanks.

- Oh!

- What's up, Sadie?

- I can't walk that way.

- We both have classes that way.

- Yeah, I go up and around.

- We'll be late for class.

- We could jog.

- I don't want to jog.

- You wanna hang out at

my house this afternoon?

- What?

Sadie, you evaporate.

You can't just ask me to

hang like it never changed.

- I'm just scared.

- And I have a life to live.

- Brennan, who cares

about finding cool music

or cute boys anymore when

it's all going to be over?

- I have fears, too.

I'm sorry they don't

"matter" matter,

but high school is my world.

This is everyone's world

here, and one hallway whisper

and it could all end

any day too.

You better run

if you wanna make class.

Brennan and I thought we'd be

best friends forever.

She's always been the bold one.

Brennan!

Why are we running?

You stole all those?

We have to take them back!

- No, they used to be five

cents and now the same candies

are ten cents.

You bought them, I did the math.

- But we're gonna be in so much

trouble!

- Not if we don't get caught.

Come on!

I was always the anxious one.

- Today, we start

the rest of our lives.

If I don't get a locker

in the yellow hall,

I will die.

Don't worry, you look amazing.

- You see, the

thing about anxiety is it just

makes you more anxious.

It's a vicious festering cycle.

- We should probably just

get our schedules first.

- Okay.

Your chest gets tighter,

your stomach twistier,

your head smushier.

- This is it, Sadie,

we're sophomores now,

and you're coming with me

to this party this weekend.

- I already have so much reading
