Sometimes I find notes in my schoolbag.

They are quotes from the Bible.

You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.

(LEVITICUS 18:22) If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death.

(LEVITICUS 20:13) I don’t tell Daisy or anyone about them.

I never let my bag out of my sight and yet the notes keep turning up.
