Read this excerpt from a short story.
Carla could see all of Grace Court from her chair, but there was still no sign of her brother. She had been reviewing for Monday’s poetry quiz and enjoying the subtle signs of spring. She closed her eyes and recited a Langston Hughes line, only to be interrupted by a commotion. It was Lucas, returning on his bike and greeting neighbors as he passed. Soon he skidded to a stop at the curb by Carla’s feet.
“What are you so excited about, Lucas?” she asked, “and where have you been for the past hour?”
“I’ve been buyin’ us tickets for next weekend’s show uptown at the Grand. I hope I can talk you into leavin’ the stoop for one night.”
“What show?” Carla asked, with mounting excitement at the prospect of an evening out.
