I started reading The Realm Of Possibilities by David Levithan yesterday. This chapter took me by storm.
I need to write this down so I don't lose it. This section is titled "Suburban Myths." This is just a section of it.

"There was this girl from Springfield who was
asked to prom by a guy who really, really,
hated her. He did it on a dare, and the girl was
unaware of it. She used all her money to buy
a dress and a flower for his jacket. The dress
was as white as a cloud in a dream and the
flower was a red rose. She waited on prom night
for him to pick her up. Instead he and his friends
drove by over and over while she waited on the curb,
holding the rose in her hand. Her dress
bilowed in the wind and sucked up all the dirt
from the tires as the boys called her a ferret
and honked so all the neighbors would see.
She couldn't take it and the next time they drove by
she jumped out in front. She went crashing through
the windshield and her dress fanned out in the
impact, suffocating them all. The rose
                                                               was not
                                                                            damaged.

The town of North Orange is still recovering
from the day the students came to biology class
and found their teacher lying on a table,
his chest cut open, his body dripping with
formaldehyde. The window was open and all
the frog tanks were
                             empty.   "


The second one is my favorite.
Such a moving event.
