“Earth to Molly McKenzie! Earth to Molly McKenzie!” Jan called to me from the other side of our table. “I've asked you three times how you did on your algebra test, and I'm still waiting for an answer!”

“Oh—sorry,” I mumbled, tearing my eyes away from Colette and Gary. “I guess I wasn’t listening.”

“You sure weren't,” she said, grinning. “You were too busy staring at Gary Hadley. And who can blame you? What a fox! Molly, you asked me once if I would go out with Gary, and I said no. Is it too late to change my mind?”

“You're just like all the other girls in this school!” I snapped irritably. “Where were you last week, before he had a haircut, and when he was still wearing those hideous glasses? You're all so—so shallow!”

“Well, excuse me for living!” Jan said, taken aback. “What's your problem?”

“Honestly, Jan, can’t you see what's happened?” Beth scolded gently. “Molly’s fallen in love with the new Gary Hadley.”

“I have not!” I cried. “It just makes me furious to see Colette Carroll falling all over him, when just last Friday she wouldn't give him the time of day. Can't he see that she's interested only in his looks? She doesn't care about the real Gary at all! Oh, why do boys have to be so stupid?”

“Because if they were any smarter, they'd be girls,” Jan replied smugly. “You know, Beth,” she added, “I think you’re right. It sure looks like love to me.”

“And I think you're both crazy!” I said, blushing to the roots of my hair.

I stormed out of the cafeteria without eating a bite and headed for the girls' room to splash cold water on my burning cheeks. When I came in, I found two girls I slightly knew touching up their makeup before the big mirror over the sinks. Neither of them paid the least bit of attention to me.
