 It was the last party I ever had. There were two things I loved more than anything in this world. Running and math. My dad was a mathmatician, so loving math was loving my dad. We both found safety in numbers. In my family, 1 1=3. Life was good. My father was a track 1 star in college, and I dreamed of that day I would really and truly 2 run faster than he did. But on the last good day, my father had nobody won. That's when I started to knock on wood. Each knock was a num, and each num kept me safe. Without them, I'd be alone. They know how to fix a body, but would they able to fix his mind? 


 
My dad looked gray and gone, but I knew he was in there somewhere, and I was determined 3 to get him back. So I made a deal with the universe. I would give up everything that I cared about, and the universe would give me back my father. I quit 4 dessert, I quit goin~to movies, I quit my friends, I quit flipping 5 through atlases 6. I even quit running. The more I liked sth, the more I needed to ruin 7 it. the only thing I didn't quit was nums. If I could jump rope 43 times without missing 8, or if I could catch the ball 27 times in a row. If the num of falling leaves I counted equal 9 the num of letters in my dad's name, then maybe I would give him back. I never stopped counting. I never stopped hoping. Nums, safe, reliable 10, perfect.
 
Miss Grey: You're kicking me out?? 
Mom: You don't have friends, you don't have a job. It's time for you to go. 
Miss Grey: But I love it here. 
Mom: You're lying, Mona. And what's worse is, you don't even know it. I have to take care of him, you don't. 
Miss Grey: By the third night, my math book and I called it quits 11
Mom: We can help you with the first month's rent. I'v saved a little, and Dad has his disability 12 check. 
Dad: She'll never find an apartment with a toilet as strong as ours.
 
Miss Grey: What??
BG: You told us to say our name and our favor 13 num. Yeah, get with the programme 14.
Miss Grey: And you're..
BG: Ann DiGanno.
Miss Grey: Lisa, how about choosing a num between 1 and 9?
Lisa: 9..I mean..2..no 7.
Miss Grey: 7??
Lisa: For sure 7!
Miss Grey: Ok, do I have any other volunteers?
BG: My name is Levan Beeze, and my favor num is 1.
Miss Grey: Ok, Levan, you and Lisa. Come to the front and form your nums with your bodies. What's the total of Levan and Lisa?
Lisa: 8!
Miss Grey: That's right! All right, who wants to be the 8?
BG: What are we gonna do now?
Miss Grey: How about if we..how about..um..what if we make nums out of nature? One of you will bring in a num every Friday. Kinda like show-and-tell with nums. And we'll call it nums and materials.
