Katie

I did not call Chase. I fought with my phone for five days. But I never gave in. Two of the nights I told Mami to hide my phone, so I could avoid temptation. She seemed to understand.

He didn’t call me either. Which crushed me. Why wouldn’t he want to talk about it? I’m right here. Aren’t we best friends? Don’t we talk about everything?

Sigh.

Tank hasn’t contacted me either. Also distressing.

Boys are so so so so stupid. Blah. Can’t stand them. Can’t focus. I’ve been working on the same easy math problem for twenty minutes. Stupid stupid stupid boys.

Chase looked terrible today at school. And yesterday. He hardly talks anymore. Looks like he hasn’t slept in days. Could he be doing drugs? He only perks up when I hold his hand. I’m not complaining. He says that it makes him feel better. But it’s strange. Very unlike him.

Hannah has been asking to sit alone with me at lunch. Everyone stares at us. It’s nice having a girl friend, even if she does most of the talking. But I miss my guys, even Lee. Even Samantha Gear. Kinda. No one knows about the big breakup. Hannah is determined to keep it quiet. She’s even trying to win Chase back.

I have no idea what to think about that. I’m so torn. So conflicted about everything. She’s really not good enough for him. No one is. Chase is perfect. Even when he’s acting like a drug addict. He’s been changing in other ways, too. Chase is no longer the little boy I grew up with. He’s become… harder. Like the same guy but made out of steel. Sexy. I have to stop thinking about this every day.

“Ugh!” I threw my pencil across the room. Dumb math problem. Dumb boys.

Knock knock. At my door.

Chase! Has to be him. It’s late. Or…actually, it could be Chase’s ex-girlfriend. That happened too.

I went to the door and pushed aside the curtains. It was dark out, and I still hadn’t put the lightbulb back in. Nothing out there. I hoped I wouldn’t find another note…wait. Oh my gosh. I tore open the door and jumped out, into the waiting arms of my very own superhero. The Outlaw is here!

“Hello!” I chirped into his chest. He’s SO big! “I’ve missed you.”

“Let’s go,” he said in that massive, impossibly deep voice of his. Before I could respond a blindfold was wrapped around my eyes and tied in the back.

“What?” I giggled, but he shushed me. He took my hand and placed it against his neck and we just stood like that for a moment. I know I was trembling and I think I could feel him tremble too. He was like Aslan, from Narnia; he didn’t feel safe, but he was good. I hoped. “Where are we going?”

“Flying.”

He plunked a motorcycle helmet down around my head and before I knew it I was holding on for dear life as we drove…somewhere. The news stations had reported
