Quote #10
I look down. I can't stop the pen from tapping. (32.17)
In Chem II, Leticia is starting to get a little more strung out. She's already decided not to tell Trina, even though Bea keeps on her case and the James Brown song—"Get Involved"—is in her head. She might be tapping her pen because she's nervous, or she feels guilty, or any combination of emotions. She may regret her passivity, but still does nothing about the situation. It's important for us not to expect too much from her.
