August and I took our moms around together. We stopped at each exhibit, explaining what it was, talking in whispers, answering questions.
Since it was dark, we used our flashlights to illuminate the artifacts while we were talking.
Sometimes, for dramatic effect, we would hold the flashlights under our chins while we were explaining something in detail.
It was so much fun, hearing all these whispers in the dark, seeing all the lights zigzagging around the dark room.
At one point, I went over to get a drink at the water fountain. I had to take the mummy wrap off my face.
“Hey, Summer,” said Jack, who came over to talk to me. He was dressed like the man from The Mummy.
“Cool costume.” “Thanks.” “Is the other mummy August?”
“Yeah.” “Um... hey, do you know why August is mad at me?”
“Uh-huh.” I nodded. “Can you tell me?” “No.”
He nodded. He seemed bummed. “I told him I wouldn’t tell you,” I explained.
“It’s so weird,” he said. “I have no idea why he’s mad at me all of a sudden. None. Can’t you at least give me a hint?”
I looked over at where August was across the room, talking to our moms.
