Dark Notes

Poverty.
It used to be easier.
Maybe because I don’t remember it much as a child. Because I was happy.
Now all that’s left is grief and yelling and unpaid bills.
At seventeen, I don’t know a lot about the world, but I find that being unwanted and unhappy is
harder to endure than having nothing to eat.
The knot in my stomach tightens. Maybe if I puke before I leave the house, it will loosen my
nerves and clear my head. Except I can’t afford to lose the calories.
A deep breath confirms the buttons on my nicest shirt are holding together, my considerable
cleavage still conservatively hidden. The knee-length skirt fits better this morning than it did in the
thrift store, and the ballet flats… Forget it. There’s nothing I can do about the cracked soles and rips
in the toes. They’re the only shoes I own.
I step out of the bathroom and tiptoe through the kitchen, combing shaky fingers through my hair.
The wet strands fall against my back and soak my shirt. Shit, is my bra showing through the damp
fabric? I should’ve worn my hair up or dried it, but I’m out of time, which further hardens my
stomach.
Jesus, I shouldn’t be this anxious. It’s only the first day of school. I’ve done this numerous times.
But it’s my senior year.
The year that will determine the rest of my life.
One mistake, a less-than-perfect GPA, a violation of dress code, the tiniest infraction will steer
the spotlight away from my talent and shine it on the poor girl from Treme. Every step I take in the
judgmental, marble halls of Le Moyne Academy is an endeavor to prove I’m more than just that girl.
Le Moyne is one of the most recognized, elite, and expensive performing arts high schools in the
nation. It’s intimidating. Fucking terrifying. Doesn’t matter if I’m the best pianist in New Orleans.
Since my freshman year, the academy has been looking for a reason to expel me, to fill my
competitive spot with a student who brings talent and financial endowments.
The stench of stale smoke roots me in the reality of my life. I flick the kitchen wall switch,
illuminating piles of crushed beer cans and empty pizza boxes. Crusty dishes fill the sink, cigarette
butts litter the floor, and what the hell is that? I lean over the counter and squint at the burnt residue in
the bowl of a spoon.
Motherfucker. My brother used our best utensils to cook coke? I toss it in the trash with a surge of
anger.
Shane claims he can’t pay the bills, but the jobless bastard always has money to party. Not only
that, the kitchen was spotless when I fell asleep, notwithstanding the mold blooming on the walls and
the laminate flaking away from the countertops. This is our home, goddammit. The only thing we have
left. He and Mom have no idea what I’ve endured to keep us current on the mortgage payments. For
their sake, I hope they never find out.
Soft fur brushes my ankle, drawing my attention to the floor. Huge golden eyes stare up out of an
orange tabby face, and my shoulders loosen instantly.
Schubert tilts his scruffy chin and rubs his whiskers against my leg, his tail twitching in the air. He
