Chapter 9

Any hope I had of forgetting my soda shower disappeared Monday morning. Pretty much everyone at school knew, and a lot of them had no problem bringing it up either through repetitive questions or lame jokes. Yet another downfall of living in a small town.

“You’re going to take her down, right?” Tonya asked, as we headed to bio. I just rolled my eyes in response. “Phoebs, you can take her. I know you can.”

“Sure, and I’d end up spending the next year and a half living in my room grounded.” I gave a massive yawn and again wondered why I hadn’t tried to avoid scheduling a class first thing in the morning. Next year, I really had to figure out how to get a spare for first period.

“You’re no fun.” She pouted a moment and then it was back to how she and Trevor had spent the rest of the weekend. She droned on for a few minutes, then stopped mid-sentence to look at me. “Oh, when you come over tonight, I slept over at your place on Saturday and then spent Sunday with you.”

“Okay,” I drew the word out as the thought floated around my head. I didn’t like the idea of the lie, especially considering it was so she could spend the night with Trevor. “I take it you haven’t told your gran about Trevor yet?”

“Ugh, you know what she’s like. I want to make sure she won’t scare him off.” She flipped her braids back over her shoulder and gave a secret smile. “Besides things are getting good.”

“Good? Things?”

Her eyebrows wiggled up and down. “Yeah, you know...things.”

“Oh my God! I don’t need to know anymore!” I nudged her with my shoulder. Even as I said it though, I wanted to know more. It was that juicy kind of gossip that I just couldn’t turn away from.

“Please,” Tonya said, rolling her eyes. “You know you want to hear all the nasty details.”

“Nasty details?” Nathan came up on the other side of me as we reached the lab. Tonya and I burst into giggles. “You know, if you guys keep doing this every time I come up, I’m going to think you’re talking about me.”

“It’s not about you,” I chuckled.

“Yet.” Tonya gave me a huge smile, and then strutted into class.

“I think I’m better off not knowing.” Nathan shook his head and wrapped an arm around my shoulder. “Want to pair up for lab today?”

“Sure. I don’t think I can handle anymore of Tonya’s details right now.”

“Nate!” Both of us turned to see Andy flying down the hall and come to a stop a couple feet away. “Hey man, I wanted to catch you before the shit hits it.”

“Hits what?” Nathan asked.

“Viv and a few of her friends are spreading it that you guys are back on, and that if she sees Phoebe with you again she’s not going to hold back.”

“Great, just what I need.” I slipped from under Nathan’s arm and stomped into class.

“Man, think I can sign up for bio today? I can’t wait to see this ho down.
