Fiction by Catherine Ryan Hyde
Sixteen-year-old Raymond is heading to school one morning when an old lady in his apartment building asks a question: "Have you seen Luis Velez?" Raymond doesn't know who she is talking about, and he's late for school, but he doesn't want to be rude, so he talks to her for just a moment. He rushes away quickly, but he keeps thinking of her the rest of the day, and wonders what has happened to her, and if maybe he should try to help.
This is the beginning of a really lovely character story. I liked it so much I didn't even mind reading it on my phone screen.
