it was fantastic, but my skin is still crawling… I’m not kidding this one was seriously creepy. (Pages 1 & 2, The Cavendish Home for Girls and Boys by Claire Legrand) but Victoria had always thought it an incredible waste of time. Not that Lawrence was bad at piano in fact, he was very good. Victoria decided that these hairs were a cosmic punishment for Lawrence’s inability to tuck in his shirt properly, use a comb, pay attention in class (he preferred to doodle instead of take notes), and do anything but play his wretched piano. Everyone made fun of Lawrence for this, and really, Victoria couldn’t blame them. Thick and shining, Lawrence’s gray hairs sprouted out from between his black, normal hairs and make him look like a skunk. They were both nine years old and in fourth grade. Victoria and Lawrence became friends shortly after Lawrence’s first gray hairs appeared. his name was Lawrence Prewitt, and on Tuesday, October 11, of the year Victoria and Lawrence were twelve years old, Lawrence disappeared. In fact, he was the only friend she had ever had. When Victoria Wright was twelve years old, she had precisely one friend.
