I replay the last twenty-four hours over and over in my head, coming up with more and more reasons not to check my phone. Of course, when I do, the first words on the screen say:

I miss you.

But you need to stop staring at your phone during class.

P.S. After you take Sammy home, head over to Westlake Center. On the way home, pick up something nice to wear at Saks fifth Avenue. Send me the bill. My treat.

My throat tightens, and my pulse sends a rush of happiness through my heart. Something nice? I haven’t bought anything nice in years. Just being honest – I’m not sure I even have any savings in my bank account.

Going against his advice, I check my account. I’ve got five hundred dollars. My credit has a line for three hundred. I think it should be enough, and then he’ll pay me back.

Then again, that puts me in a little bind. I don’t want to lean on him for money, even if he has it readily available. He still hasn’t paid me for driving miss Sammy.

Amanda’s voice snaps me out of my thoughts. “Everything cool, girl?”

For Valentine’s Day, Dean Berman decided it would be more fun to combine classes and move everyone into the gym. It’s a big event where the kids can run around and have fun. For them, it’s a day off. We’re tasked to maintain an impossibly healthy balance of sugar levels. It’s total chaos.

I was most concerned about Sammy. Just as Marc tried to warn me, she turned on me halfway through the day. Something triggered her, sending her into a crying fit of emotion. Amanda and I tried everything. But after her tears dried up, she refused to acknowledge us.

That’s when I sent her outside. Five minute timeout. No ifs ands or buts.

Most kids cry. Some even take a swing at you. But when Sammy looked at me, it was with eyes of betrayal. Guess who was waiting to see if she was okay? Xander.

More and more, I’m starting to see that Sammy is the troublemaker. If that’s true, I’ll have to bring it up to Marc. He’s going to be so hurt.

The ancient school projector shines cartoons on the wall. Charlie Brown tries kicking the football, only for Lucy to pull it out from under him. No one is watching this crap. I should just be honest; I’m not even watching it. They didn’t have a copy of The Sandlot.

I fake a yawn. “I’m just a little tired of watching Charlie biff it so many times.”

For the tenth time this hour, I check my phone. Sammy’s five minutes are almost over. Ten minutes until we’re out of school.

She doesn’t look too impressed with my lie. “What’s with your phone? You’re not usually so tech-centric.”

I don’t even try to cover my ass. “It’s Marc,” I say.

“Talk.”

Excited about a possible date night, I smile. “I got a text telling me to go to Saks Fifth Avenue and buy a dress. He instructed me to pick out the one that speaks to my heart most.
