Indigo Fitzgerald thinks your problems are too small for her.

Too small?

Unimportant?

No way.

Vote Manning Sinclair!

Indigo’s knees buckled. Camila caught her before she dropped to the floor, her hand over her mouth. Later on, Camila would tell her she wasn’t making a sound, but in her head, she was screaming as though she’d been stabbed.

In the back.

Chapter 14

The Bet

Somehow, Indigo managed to get through the rest of the school day, although she couldn’t remember a single thing any of her teachers said. After her last class finally ended, she headed to the art room. Abbie had decided that Indigo needed to freshen up her campaign, so they were supposed to be making new posters.

But not even Abbie was here yet, so Indigo sat down on top of a table and pulled out the plastic sandwich bag where she was keeping Ida’s letters safe. The letters about the Curve were like a loose tooth she couldn’t stop wiggling; she’d read them several times now, reliving every single one of the horrific details.

Belkin must think of Weldon as “disreputable,” which was why he kept sending him to detention even when Weldon hadn’t done anything wrong. Belkin also obviously couldn’t tell the difference between an eighth grader and a fully grown person, or maybe he wasn’t trying.

When she finished, Abbie still hadn’t arrived. Indigo tucked the letter back into her backpack and pulled out her phone, tapping out a text to Manning.
