Chapter Eleven

Adalee

Against all odds Palmer and I seem to have come to a truce. I wouldn’t exactly say we’re friends, but he’s no longer actively bullying me. He’s tutored me three more times the past week. At school, I barely see him. When I do see him, he’s with Sabrina, Rudy, and the rest of his gang of jerks. I’ve seen a different side to him the last few days, and I wonder why he hangs out with a person like Sabrina. I have no doubt they sleep together, but he could probably sleep with anyone, so why be friends with someone as despicable as her? He doesn’t even seem to like her.

She’s a colossal bitch, but she’s good in bed.

Why does it irk me so much that they would sleep together? Sabrina is pretty. Very pretty. But she so hateful, if I were a guy I can’t imagine wanting to touch her. I guess guys will do anything to touch boobs.

“Do you want to help me decorate the gym for the Christmas Dance?” Emma asks biting into her burrito. She always gets the same thing; a beef burrito and an orange soda. “The girl who was supposed to put up the Christmas decorations has the flu. The honor has been passed to me.”

I smile. “Sure. I’ll help.”

Luke glances up from his turkey sandwich. “I can help if you want?”

Emma smiles. “Really?”

He shrugs. “Why not? Anything to make the school dance feel more like the holidays.”

“Do you think Dirk would want to help?” Emma asks.

“Maybe.” Luke glances around.

Emma frowns. “Where is he by the way?”

Sense Dirk is Luke’s best friend, he’s usually a fixture at lunch, but lately he’s been studying during lunch instead of joining us. I’m afraid that’s because I made it clear I didn’t want to date him. But maybe I’m just being egotistical. It’s entirely possible he really just needs to study.

“I think he said he has a science final on Friday,” I say softly. I hope that’s true and not just an excuse to avoid me. I’d feel horrible if I was responsible for straining Luke and Dirk’s friendship. Although, it would have to be a pretty shallow friendship if I could come between them that easily.

Emma’s curious gaze falls on me. “How’s tutoring?” She has a funny look.

I know she finds it odd that Palmer is tutoring me after the way he was with me in the very beginning. Frankly, I find it odd myself. But he has really helped me, and I actually got a C on a pop quiz in Mr. Glenn’s class the other day. A very low C. That’s entirely because of Palmer’s tutoring.

“Tutoring is going great.”

Her smile is sly. “Are you seeing him tonight?”

I shake my head. “No. He has a game.”

“It sure is nice of him to make time for you in between school and practice,” Luke says, studying me.

I have a feeling him and Emma have discussed me and Palmer. There’s just something about the look they exchange with each other.
