looking at Cooper as they went by. But Ralph Adams looked right at her, and on his face Cooper saw

an expression of disdain. It was people like Ralph Adams she wanted to show up.

“Okay,” she said to Amanda. “Let’s talk.”

CHAPTER 10

“Where is it?” Annie asked Kate and Cooper anxiously.

“Let me at least open it,” said Kate as she flipped over the first few pages of the Sentinel. The girls

scanned each page, looking for Annie’s editorial.

“There it is,” Cooper said, pointing.

Annie’s column took up the left-hand side of page 3. The three friends stood reading it as other students

walked by on their way to classes. Annie looked up and was both anxious and thrilled to see that a lot of

other people had grabbed copies of the school paper from the stack by the front door and were reading

them.

“It’s great,” Cooper told Annie when she had finished reading.

“Not as great as the piece Amanda Barclay did on you in the Tribune this morning,” said Annie.

As promised, Amanda Barclay had indeed written an article about Cooper’s run-in with the school

board. Cooper couldn’t even find anything in it to complain about, except perhaps for the fact that it was

buried on page 17 instead of being closer to the front. Amanda had even mentioned the fact that Cooper

was starting a petition to get the school board to reconsider its decision. Cooper was hoping that might

make it easier for her to get signatures. She’d written up the petition with her father’s help and had it in

her backpack, ready for signing.

“Hey there,” Sasha said, walking up to them. “How does it feel to be celebrities, you two?”

Cooper and Annie pretended to be shielding their faces from paparazzi. “Please,” Cooper said

breathlessly. “No pictures.”

“You’ll have to speak to my agent,” Annie added as both of them laughed.

“Freaks,” someone muttered.

The girls turned to see who had said it, but nobody was speaking to them. It could have been any of the

students walking by, but since none of them actually stopped to say anything, they couldn’t tell who had

spoken.

“I’m afraid you’re going to get a lot of that,” Kate told her friends.

“Maybe for a while,” said Cooper. “Then it will all blow over.”

“I see you agreed not to wear the pentacle,” Sasha commented to Cooper.

“Yeah,” Cooper replied. “My dad said I should play nice for now, at least until we see if this revote

comes off.”

“Do you think you can actually get enough signatures on that petition?” asked Annie.

“We’ll find out,” said Cooper. “Why don’t you guys be the first three to sign it.”

“How about the first four?”

Cooper turned and saw T.J. standing behind her. “Did you see the article?” she asked him.

“Both of them,” he said. “Good job, Annie.”

“Thanks,” said Annie happily.

“And what did you think of the one about me?” asked Cooper.

“You know what I think about that,” answered her boyfriend. “But I’m going to be supportive and not

say anything.”

“Good boy,” Cooper said, kissing him. “Now sign.”

She handed him her petition, and he wrote his name on the first line.
