Chapter 9

"This is crazy. What if we get caught?"

"Then we'll get caught."

"Really? That's your answer?"

"Relax, Mouse. I've done this a million times."

I stare down at the box of chocolates in his hands then swing my eyes back to his face. He snuck chocolates in girls' lockers before? I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

"No, I haven't," Jake chuckles. "I was just messing with you. You're too serious."

My cheeks heat up from the embarrassment of blurting the thought out loud before making a face. "Good to know. So, uh, how are we going to do it?" I glance through the door of the empty classroom we're currently in, feeling a little nervous that someone will walk in and bust us any minute.

Last night, Jake brought up the idea of sneaking chocolates into Harper's locker. He said we'd make it look like they came from Kirby. He said it was the best course of action.

I think it's lame, not to mention ineffective. Harper is a lot of things, but being dumb is not one of them. There's a great chance that she'll find out that Kirby didn't give them to her. And when she learns that the chocolates came from me? She'll be even more pissed than she already is. And the chances of her ever talking to me will be reduced from slim to none.

"You know Harper's combination lock, right?" When I don't immediately respond, he stares me down. "Please tell me you do."

I roll my eyes. "Yeah, I do."

"Good. I'll go distract her while you put these babies inside." He taps the top of the box and winks at me.

Um, what? He wants me to sneak the chocolates in myself? This was all his idea!

"I'm sorry. I think I heard you wrong."

"Think about it, Mouse. Who do you think would cause more suspicion? You, her best friend, who probably opened her locker a time or two in the past? Or me, who never had anything to do with her?"

I hate that he has a point—a very valid point at that. It would really look more suspicious if he was the one to do it. But it doesn't mean I have to like it.

"Fine," I say grudgingly.

"Should we write a note?" Jake asks.

"No. She probably knows Kirby's handwriting. Let's just make it anonymous. Let her come to her own conclusion."

A slow smile spreads his lips. "Glad to have you finally on board."

We've already come this far, I can't just back out and leave him hanging. "Whatever. Let's just get this thing over and done with. Make sure you'll distract her well, okay?"

Jake gives me a playful wink. "Leave everything to me, Mouse."

I sigh. That's what I'm afraid of.

Ten minutes later and I'm watching Jake distract my best friend with his charm. Judging from the giggles coming out of Harper, he's doing a good job.

"Too good, if you ask me," I mumble with a frown.

But now's not the time to dwell on it. I still need to do my part.
