Chapter 20

Deep inhale. Slow exhale. Repeat.

Lacey glanced at the sea of faces inside the classroom before knocking on the window of the Social Studies door. Mrs. Fadely stopped talking, her eyes narrowing and her lips pursing as she met Lacey’s wide gaze. The teacher removed her cat eye-shaped glasses, which swung back and forth from their pearl chain as she charged forward. The rapid clicks of her beige pumps matched the relentless throb at the center of Lacey’s body.

For some stupid reason, she couldn’t stop thinking about that damn dream or the stupid star of it.

Mrs. Fadely’s opened the door, the hand on her hip flying up. “Tardy slip, Miss Chase,” she said, snapping her stubby fingers before showing her palm.

Lacey slapped the piece of paper onto it. Mrs. Fadely glanced at it and then crossed her arms over her breasts—which she probably had to roll up before stuffing into her granny bra—as she stepped aside.

When Lacey entered the classroom all eyes snapped to hers, including Kimberly’s and Brooke’s. They glanced at each other and then back at her and flashed welcoming smiles.

I’m still asleep...

Mrs. Fadely shut the door and then pointed at the only available chair. “Take a seat between Miss Conrad and Miss Taylor.”

...this isn’t real...

Kimberly clapped her hands and then motioned for Lacey to come forward while Brooke patted the desk.

...just a nightmare...

Mrs. Fadely cleared her throat. “Now, Miss Chase.”

...so wake the fuck up already!

Lacey trudged down the aisle, keeping her eyes locked on the desk. She flopped down in the seat and then fixed her gaze on Mrs. Fadely’s back as the woman began writing on the black board.

“Pssst.”

With a slow blink, Lacey looked to her right. Kimberly was leaning so close Lacey could smell the cinnamon on her breath. Holding out a pack of gum, the blonde repeatedly snapped the piece in her mouth, which sounded like a hundred of those small fireworks that popped when they hit the ground going off all at once. Shaking her head no, Lacey thought, If she doesn’t stop that, I’m going to snap myself.

Mrs. Fadely whirled around, the ruler in one wrinkled hand flying up to point at Kimberly. “Miss Conrad!”

Kimberly’s eyes widened a second before Lacey heard a loud gulp. “Aw, Mrs. Fadely, you, like, totally made me swallow my gum!”

“Gum is not allowed in my class, Miss Conrad.” Kimberly looked like she’d just been told she’d have to wear only thrift store clothes for the rest of her life.“And if I hear one more snap, crack or pop,” Mrs. Fadely continued, coming forward to lean across her desk, “you will write me a ten page report on the annoying product. Do we understand one another, Miss Conrad?”

Kimberly’s bony shoulders slumped. “For sure, Mrs. Fadely.”

When the teacher spun around to face the blackboard, Kimberly wrinkled her upturned nose at her back and then looked at Lacey. She is such an old bitch, Kimberly mouthed, and then rolled her electric blue eyes.

Seems pretty cool to me, Lacey thought, smiling as she looked down at her hands.
