I can’t call and tell them I don’t have a way to get back to Connecticut. But her mom had read some article about Title Nine that had gotten her all riled up.īut what am I supposed to do? I ask. It was pretty ridiculous, since Brooklyn is totally unathletic, and no girls were even trying out for the wrestling team. One time last year she came down to our school screaming about women’s equality on the wrestling team. My mom said she wouldn’t as long as I talked you out of it, but you never know what my mom’s going to do. I mean, what if my parents call your parents? And honestly, Peyton, I kind of think you should just forget the whole thing. My parents found out, and they’re freaking out. I’m so sorry, but there’s no way I can come now. I’m sorry, my best friend, Brooklyn, says on the other end of the line. The bushes are prickly, there are bees floating around, and the ground is kind of wet. I’m crouching behind some bushes outside the Siesta Key Yacht Club, which is not comfortable. And now look what I’ve done.Īre you sure there’s no way you can come? I say into my phone. All we hear about these days is how we’re supposed to be strong women and not depend on anyone else and blah blah blah.
