TWO MORE DAYS. All she had to do was make it two more days. Then no more detention, and only four lousy weeks of school left.

Skylar leaned forward in the chair and glared at Marcus. Unlike the other jocks, he seemed to prefer his broken-in cowboy boots to sneakers when he wasn’t on the field.

A cream-colored Stetson sat pushed back on his head and highlighted his sun-darkened complexion and American Indian heritage, and the navy blue T-shirt he wore brought out the blue of his eyes. Stupid hat or not, boys just didn’t look like him in New York.

She glanced down at the paper she doodled on and was mortified to see she’d written his name in curly letters. So not going to happen. Especially after what she’d said to him.

Marcus might be cute and all, but she couldn’t forget for a second that he was buddies with Travis and Mandy, and while he was nice when they weren’t around, he probably acted just like them when they were. All that mumbo jumbo he’d spouted during the end-of-year assembly about always looking at a person’s inner spirit instead of the outer shell was for show. It had to be.

Idiot, of course it was. The assembly was a joke, the speech class teacher’s way of showing off. Marcus had written the speech a long time ago, before she’d moved to Loserville. Her mom had to find a job soon. That or score some big tips when the people from California came. It was only a matter of days now, and Maura had said the whole ranch had been rented out. There’d have to be lots of tips there, right? Maybe then they could get the heck out of Dodge.

Marcus glanced her way, and Skylar’s heart thudded hard in her chest. Oh, yeah, he was a hottie. She looked down and determinedly colored over his name, reminding herself that guys were jerks and treated females like the crap Marcus shoveled.

“Mathews, time’s up. You going to sit there all day or are you going to let me go home and get some dinner?” the coach asked abruptly.

Feeling her face heat, she glanced at the clock and realized she’d stayed five minutes later than needed. Embarrassed, she grabbed her bag from the floor and shoved her notebook inside, not paying any attention to the coach when he hurried from the room.

“You need a ride to the ranch?”

Her head jerked up and she stared at Marcus, dragging her bag over one shoulder. “No thanks…. Look, about the other day—”

“Suppose your mom wouldn’t like it, you riding with some guy she doesn’t know and hanging out.”

Hanging out? “I wouldn’t care if she didn’t like it, I do what I want. Look, I was really mad the other day after the fight and…I shouldn’t have said what I did.”

He shrugged. “Yeah, well, it’s probably true half the time. Mandy’s caught me in town after a day’s work and said the same.”

God, she so didn’t want to be compared to that bitch.
