At Mrs. Tarbe’s house, Javier shows me how to mow perfect lines in the grass, just like I’ve seen at baseball stadiums. Papi demonstrates how to shape and trim bushes. When I look up, I see a face in the window next door. It’s Alex from homeroom. He looks away and pretends not to see me. My heart sinks. We always say hi in school. I put my head down, feeling awkward, and continue to pick up leaves.
