When I walk into English class, Sage’s already there. But she’s not sitting in her usual seat up front. She’s sitting in the back row, which is something Sage’s never done before.

She’s just not a back-row kid.

I walk right past her without a word.

If anyone’s apologizing, it should be her. I still can’t stop the words You’re just like your mom from swimming in my head.

Because Sage has upset the seating balance, Dylan—who always sits in the back row and is a back-row kid—is forced to sit next to me in Sage’s empty seat when he shows up late.

A few days ago, sitting next to Dylan would’ve made my week, but right now I’m just too depressed to care.

After class, Ardsley sashays her way up to my desk.

“You’re on the swim team, right?” Ardsley asks.

I nod.

“I thought so. You have this green twinge to your hair. It totally gives swimmers away. Any-who, I’ll have my mom pick you up after your practice and bring you over to help me with my blog.”

Ardsley scampers off, and Dylan, who’s still packing up his backpack, starts laughing.

“Is she for real?”

I force a laugh, but in reality, I just want to get to mirror to see if my hair actually is turning green.

“It’s not green,” Dylan says as if he’s reading my mind. “It’s brown, but a pretty brown if that makes sense.”

“Thanks,” I say, but Dylan’s already heading out the door.

If Sage and I weren’t in a fight, we’d totally have a major squeal over that moment.

Instead I walk to the pool alone.
