I'm from Nowhere

by Suzanne Myers

  I know that she doesn’t know. For once she’s not at the epicenter of things. She sweeps her hair back with one hand and half-smiles. I notice she’s wearing the anchor charm around her wrist again.

  Eloise and India turn to me uncertainly. It’s unlikely that I would know anything, but it’s worth a shot, if Honor won’t spill.

  I look at Honor, still gazing out the window. And then I shrug too, deciding to keep her secret. That’s what sisters do, right?
