The next morning, my heart is pounding. Is it going to be different now that Todd and I talked and we share a secret? Luckily, I don’t have to wait long to find out because I’m only at my locker for exactly one minute when I see Todd down the hall at his locker. Shoot! He catches me looking in his direction. He smiles and then goes back to talking to Ryan, my heart begins pounding at double speed.

Gretchen comes walking up to their lockers with Brian, and normally, I wouldn’t think anything of it, but knowing what I now know, it makes me suspicious. Yet, Gretchen grabs Ryan's hand as soon as she walks up and from an outsider’s perspective it seems like all is good. I instantly look at Brian who is smiling, laughing and high-fiving his friends passing in the hall. Everyone is commenting on the big game this Friday, since football players are the closest thing we have to celebrities. It is as if Brian doesn’t have a care in the world. You would never know he is trying to steal his best friend’s girlfriend. The more I watch him interact with their group, the angrier I get.

As my eyes travel back over to Todd, I see RTS has her hand in his back jean pocket, clearly marking her territory. He leans down to whisper something in her ear and then I realize he is walking away from her and walking right toward me.

Crap! Act natural; do something other than stare down the hallway. What should I do? I finally realize I’m at my locker, I should look through my books. Duh.

"Hey, Ash." I hear Todd's beautiful voice.

"Oh, hey, Todd." I try to act surprised, but maybe I should've gone with honesty. Like, Oh, I've been staring at you for the last five minutes so I totally knew you were coming over here!

"Thanks for the talk last night. I think I have a plan until the game," he says as he leans his beautiful arm on my locker. I will never wash it again; not that I wash my locker, but you know what I mean.

"I saw Brian and Gretchen walk up together." I can't hide my doubt in his plan.

"Yeah, I noticed that, too." He glances back down the hall in their direction. "I'm just going to try my best to stay on Brian, especially at practice. With Sour Lollipops I won't be there for the beginning. I told Rebecca to keep an eye on Gretch and Brian; she's leaving Lollipops practice before me this week."

"You told Rebecca?" I try, but I can't hide my disgust. I look down the hall to where she is and she’s definitely giving me the stink eye.

"Not everything, but enough. She can help," Todd tries to reassure me. I hate that now her of all people is in on our secret. "But let me know if you see anything, too. Hopefully I can talk some sense into Brian before he does anything stupid.
