Transcript

Invisible Academy 02.08.96. "Passenger" continued from 11 contrasts his own. "I tried to tell her not to do it, but Mama don't listen to me... unless I tell her I don't feel good," he tries to issue a weak smile from his face. "Thanks for helpin' me out downstairs," Echo says. "Guess who's goin' for the belt, now?" he asks, changing the subject to the latest NWA gossip and then answers his own question, "Magnum T.A." Slowly remembering, Echo responds, "I thought he already tried?" "Yeah he did, but now he has to go through Abdullah the Butcher." There is an awkward silence before Gene states, "Echo, can you really stay?" She continues to fumble through her things as if she doesn't hear his question. Finally, she answers, "I could stay longer than two or three days out the week if Mama wouldn't get on my nerves." "Well, just stay today since you were gone the whole weekend " "Gene," she sighs, "the only reason why I came home today was because I needed some clothes and I thought y'all would be in church." "It's fifth Sunday," he states, recalling the fact that her old Methodist church did not meet on the fifth Sunday of a month. Gene didn't know why, neither did Echo. Ritual. "No wonder she home. Who done died up the road? Kelsey's funeral sign's right up there on Evans St.?" For a long time, Gene doesn't respond, then with thick voice he answers, "Lisa, your old classmate." "Lisa? McRae?!" she exclaims, then flops on her bed (now Kitty's) letting her memory wash over her brain. "I bet it scared you," she says. "Yeah... and Mama, too. This whole weekend, I ain't been able to go outside or nothin'." Echo flips through some of the things she's pulled from the closet —mainly old school newspapers and old notes. Gene breaks the silence, "I got somethin' to show you." He runs off. Putting the papers aside, she notices a pink and black shoebox hidden in the closet corner on the second shelf. Standing up, she reaches up and notices just how much weight she has lost. The size 13 jeans she has on float around her waist, giving her room to stretch and pull, trying to reach the box. Finally, she retrieves it. The lid now open, sheds four years from her life. The first thing she unfolds is a note on paper that's turning colors. At first the bold, fancy strokes of the handwriting confuse her, then she feels the heat of her heart melting in her chest. "There's something I have to talk to you about after class..." it reads. She never finishes the rest of the note, but she knows who it is from. Eugene returns with a newspaper. He sits on the bed unfold ing it page by page until he finds what he's been searching for. "Here! Right here." Grabbing the paper before he can explain, Echo chuckles at a picture of a blonde girl complete with sloping forehead (the pulled back hairstyle only accenting her protruding cranium) and blue eyes, announcing her engagement. She reads further and feels the same melting heart episode she experienced only moments before. There is no need to finish it. She knows who it's about. Gene rubs salt into the wound. "Isn't that him? That guy you used to tell Mama about when you were in school? Can you believe somebody wanting to marry that nerd?" He laughs. Echo's lower lip trembles. No images. Only RoadRunner's boulder crashing on top of her, the new Wile E. "Mama, uh, I've gotta go somewhere," she says, coming downstairs. "Echo, I thought you were gone stay." "Something came up, Gene. I can't stay," she says, fighting tears, thinking: 'There's something I have to talk to you about after class...' "I told you not to believe nuttin' she says, didn't I? Anybody don't come home to hear about her friends' dying and her daddy bein' in the hospital, ain't shit!! You need to be in church somewhere, Echo Eschame!" "Where you need to be, Mama? You gone dog me 'til the day one of us kicks, ain't you?" "Until you show ME something yeah." Kitty agrees, "But I'ma tell you now, you ain't gone kill me with all this worration." "I try to show you all the time but you never let me do anything on my own," Echo pleads. "I know you ain't tryin' to tell that lie on Sunday." "You know what I'm saying Mama. I've been tryin' to get to Durham." "Hustlin'..." Kitty grunts. "Yeah, so what? I don't see you tryin' to take me," Echo begins then suddenly stops, the newspaper clipping dancing in front of her eyes. She continues, "Gene, I'll see you later. I will. I promise." "Echo, don't lie to him." Echo's eyes are filling with tears again. Disgusted at herself for crying, she brushes them away. Kitty calls after her, "Echo, you ain't gone get no reward, 'til you get on your knees. Whatever problems you got, I can't help you with. Lord knows, I've tried." "You haven't, Mama. You really haven't," Echo whispers and goes out the way she comes in. Her mother's words rattle around her head and she knows that part of what she has said is true. Already, with the sun bearing down on her with tremendous light despite the brisk air, she misses Gene and shoos Queen into turning around and going back to stay with him. f love Lie iea4>4
