I didn’t see Mercedes or Dalton in the halls before school on Wednesday. I saw no sign of Rhino or Elle, either. The only presence I couldn’t escape was Clarissa. With her smile pasted all over the walls of the school, she was pretty hard to miss. But that afternoon, in the tutoring room, Lexy pulled me aside.

“Camy, I have to go to the bathroom,” she said.

“Yeah?” I said, because here’s another thing about having a guy as a best friend: You miss out on learning a lot of social cues that every other girl seems to know.

I’d gone back to explaining negative integers to Byron when another pom squad girl whispered in my ear. “That means she needs to talk to you.”

So I followed Lexy to the girls’ restroom. As soon as we got there she flung each of the stall doors open, checking to see if they were occupied. Then she turned to face me.

“Can you hook me up like you did for Elle and Mercedes?”

“Like I—”

“Here’s the deal,” she said. “My mom doesn’t usually let me date, but since this is my senior year and it’s homecoming, she’s making an exception. Only with Elle’s stupid boy boycott, I’m stuck.”

Lexy didn’t date? That explained the lack of comments about her on the wiki.

“And I was thinking … maybe one of those guys from the chess club?” She looked at me with puppy-dog eyes. “That way, Mercedes and I could double date and that would keep my mom from freaking out so much about the whole thing.”

“I guess,” I said, “but I’m not even sure Mercedes and Dalton are going to homecoming.”

“Oh, yeah, they are. He asked her yesterday.”

“He ... what?” I shook my head, trying to wrap my brain around the idea. “How did that happen? They just started talking after school.”

Lexy laughed. “That girl works fast. All she had to do was convince him that no one else in the school would ask her.”

I stared, totally speechless. Damn, Mercedes was good. But I wondered, had I just unleashed something on our school that no one was ready for?

“So can you?” Lexy asked, “I really want to go to the dance.”

I sighed. Who was I to crush dreams?

Mentally, I reviewed the chess club roster until I got to Tim Lansing. He was cute and shy, and he also had an artistic streak. That might make a nice match with Lexy’s talent for fashion design.

Chess club didn’t officially meet on Wednesday, but a bunch of them usually showed up anyway. Official or not, if another A-list hottie disrupted everyone’s game, I was certain Tara Tanaka would leap across the desks and strangle me. She’d already thrown me dirty looks all during earth science.

“Meet me at the caf tomorrow morning,” I told Lexy. “I’ll introduce you to someone I know.”

“Is he cute?”

“Very.”

She clapped her hands together. For a moment, I thought she might jump up and down. Instead, Lexy threw her arms around me.

“Thank you,” she said. “Thank you so
