Inside the Mind of Gideon Rayburn
“Inside they kind of give up. Gid likes the high windows and finds the fresh white paint cheery. But the carpet—lentil-soup brown, rough and short—and the hard fluorescent lights make him feel a little tricked. In a sense, he has been.Places like Midvale are all about show. They're about what they're supposed to mean and say. What they actually mean and say, well, no one involved really cares all that much.Gid joins a line forming in front of a table, above which there is a sign reading KEYS. Li...ke everything else here, this sign bears the Midvale insignia—a statue of a man on a horse and a Latin inscription, which, roughly translated, means "Study forever."Gideon is less than thrilled to see the kid from the white seven-series a few places ahead of him in line. The guy turns around twice to glare at him from under a lock of black hair. He is Asian but not all Asian. He has a chiseled, sleek handsomeness of which he seems acutely aware. He signs for his key, and as he leaves the room he looks at Gid with something like disdain.MoreLess
