By the time I get out of detention, it’s almost five and the winter sun is already starting to set. My car is one of only a few left in the parking lot.

I’ve been too afraid to check the texts on my phone to see if my mom has been looking for me, but I probably should.

If I can text her my excuse before I get home, she might have time to calm down before she sees me.

Hopefully.

I fumble in my backpack for my phone, digging through a mess of books, papers, and loose pens before I find it. I unlock it, slide into the driver’s seat, and check my messages.

None. Not a single one.

In a way, that’s worse.

Momma either hasn’t noticed I’m late or she’s too busy dreaming up punishments to text me.

Whichever it is sucks. A lot.

I decide not to bother texting and just see what I find when I get home. It will be a surprise.

I drop my phone in the center console and am about to start my car when the passenger door suddenly opens.

Tank slides into the seat next to me.

I’m so surprised I just stare at him. He smiles, revealing a gold tooth on the right side of his mouth, and plucks my keys out of my hand.

“Good to see you again, angel.”

The deep rumble of his voice shakes me out of my stupor, and I shrink back, my hand on the door handle. “I told you to stop calling me that.”

“I call ‘em like I see ‘em,” he says with an unapologetic shrug.

I clench my fists. “What are you doing here?”

“Don’t bother running,” he says, pointing out the windshield towards a black truck with two men sitting in the front seat. “They’ll catch you.”

Pay attention to everything.

Not one of my mother’s rules, but one of mine. A very important one.

Whether it’s people at school or Momma or strangers, it’s important to be aware of my surroundings.

Who I’m with.

What’s expected of me.

I have to be a different person at school than I am at home or when I’m alone, so I’ve trained myself to read a room and respond accordingly.

Today, I didn’t pay attention.

I got so wrapped up in whether I’d be in trouble with my mom that I didn’t realize I was walking into much more serious trouble.

That oversight is about to cost me.

“I’ve been doing what you said. I’m staying close to Noah and luring him in. I’m doing exactly what you wanted.”

Tank leans towards the console, hand extended, and I can smell the cigarette smoke and dust rising off of his vest.

I try to keep my distance, but Tank grabs my chin between his thumb and forefinger and twists my face towards his.

“I know, angel. You’ve been a very good girl.”

Once again, it’s like there is a flashing neon sign above my head.

Let the Whole World Know That I, Penelope LaFevre, Gave Noah Boone A Blowjob In the Girls’ Bathroom (And I Liked It).

Is there anyway Tank knows about that?

No, definitely not.
