hands fisted. I didn’t have time for this. “Holy sweet seraph nubs,” Grace muttered. “This has not been my day.” From the truck bed, Amy called out, “Hi, Madison, sweetie.” It was mocking, and the skin around Josh’s mouth was tight as he fished out his keys from his gym bag. “Get off my truck,” he said shortly. Amy opened her mouth again, and I blurted, “Hi, Amy. What did you do to your nose?” Turning pink in embarrassment, she said coyly, “Is that a new outfit? You’re as cute as my little sister in those tights.” The way she said it made it sound like I was three, and I fumed, thinking I might make a hundred copies of the shot with her mouth open catching flies and her nose swollen and blue—then post them in the high school’s halls. Len hadn’t moved, and Josh stepped closer. “Why don’t you grow up?” he said tightly. Seeing the picture in Josh’s grip, Len leaned forward. “Let me see,” he said, grabbing it, and Amy snatched it in turn. “Oh, isn’t that precious?” she mocked. “How many did you take of him, sweetie?” My lips pressed together, but a soft rustle of leaves drew my attention up to see a black wing ghost overhead and move on. Eyes wide, I felt the whisper of my heart start up. Not here. Not now! Amy must have thought I was afraid of her, because she jumped from the truck and sashayed closer. “The team’s going to the Low D, Josh,” she said. “Everyone will be there. You’re coming, right?” Her unspoken “you, but not her” was obvious, making me angry. Josh took the photo back and reached beyond Len for the truck’s handle. He opened it with a yank hard enough to send Len stumbling forward. “No,” he said as he tucked the photo on the dash and shoved his bag under the seat. “Why don’t you go take a shower, Amy? You’re sweating like a pig.” Her mouth dropped open, and I snickered loud enough for her to hear. Len had tried to make his lurch look like it was planned, but he had lost face and he knew it. Even his laugh didn’t help. “Come on,” he said as he put his hands in his pockets and started to move away. “I’m not wasting any more time here. Let’s go. Parker?” Amy draped an arm over Parker’s shoulders to lead him away. He looked like he wanted to say something, but all he did was shrug when Josh met his eyes. Josh shrugged back. I tried to get my heart stopped as Amy and Parker walked between Josh and me, and I forced my hands to unclench. They were three cars away when Amy called out to someone else, and they angled that way. In the distance, the band started up again, loud and enthusiastic. Josh looked pissed. His neck was red as he got into the truck and started the engine.
