Froggy tweaks his nose a few times. "I thought that's how you wanted it. I mean, you always seemed to — "

I cut him off. "Well, stop thinking, OK?"

Then I grab my notebooks, slam my locker, and march away, leaving Froggy rubbing his nose and staring in my wake.

************************************

I. can barely pay attention in global studies. That's probably a good thing because Mr.

Vandenhausler is knee-deep in the carnage in Katmandu. As soon as the bell rings, he announces that we're going to learn the process by which they inhumed the bodies of the Nepalese royal family. I'm not sure what "inhumed" means, but judging by the amount that his mustache is twitching, I don't want to know.

I keep replaying the interaction with Froggy in my head. I was just a total rotten bitch to him, which he didn't deserve in the slightest. But I couldn't help it. The words spewed out of my mouth. The idea of any guy, even Froggy, coming near me makes my skin crawl. It reminds me too much of my brother and that girl.

At lunchtime I grab a pack of Hostess Cupcakes and snarf them on the way up to Ms.

Crowley's office. I stop briefly in the second-floor bathroom to toss the wrapper. I'd never hang out in a stall again — too many bad memories from the Bri-girls episode — but I still come in for a quick pee or to remove some food from my braces.

As soon as I walk in, I hear movement in a stall. I freeze when I notice that the person in the stall is wearing high-heeled magenta boots. Those are Brie Newhart's boots. She's the only girl in school who has them because they came all the way from Paris.

My first thought is: What is Brie doing up here? She always spends lunch period at the sophomore royalty table — flanked by cute boys, far from the trash bins, close to the exits.

Besides, there's a bathroom right near the cafeteria.

My second thought is: Stop thinking thought #I and get out of here! Brie Newhart is the last person on earth I feel like seeing.

I toss my cupcake wrapper in the trash and hurry out of the bathroom.
