THE NEXT DAY
13 INSPIRATIONS
“Sir?” she repeats. “How soon do you want it to get there?”
I rub two fingers, hard, over my left eyebrow. The throbbing has become intense. “It doesn’t matter,” I
say.

The clerk takes the package. The same shoebox that sat on my porch less than twenty-four hoursago;
rewrapped in a brown paper bag, sealed with clear packing tape, exactly as I had received it. But now
addressed with a new name. The next name on Hannah Baker’s list.

“Baker’s dozen,” I mumble. Then I feel disgusted for even noticing it.
“Excuse me?”
I shake my head. “How much is it?”
She places the box on a rubber pad, then punches a sequence on her keypad.
I set my cup ofgas-station coffee on the counter and glance at the screen. I pull a few bills from my

wallet, dig some coins out of my pocket, and place my money on the counter.
“I don’t think the coffee’s kicked in yet,” she says. “You’re missing a dollar.”
I hand over the extra dollar, then rub the sleep from my eyes. The coffee’s lukewarm when I take a sip,

the box into a cart behind her.
I should have waited till after school. I should have given Jenny one final day of peace.
Though she doesn’t deserve it.
When she getshome tomorrow, or the next day, she’ll find a package on her doorstep. Or if her mom
or dad or someone else gets there first, maybe she’ll find it on her bed. And she’ll be excited. I was
excited. A package with no return address? Did they forget, or was it intentional? Maybe from a secret
admirer?
“Do you want your receipt?” the clerk asks.
I shake my head.
