Her reply:

I’m trying. But she’s really pissed off and Carmen’s not helping the situation. This is so dumb. She’s ruining her own birthday!

I’d pictured Iz and me being best friends forever, racing our walkers at a nursing home someday. But I wasn’t sure anymore. If this was how she reacted to my friendship with Julia, how was she going to handle my new social life at college?

The doorbell rang. Dex bolted down the stairs ahead of me. I wondered if it would be Iz and the girls in a cab, waving me in. Iz’s mood could change on a dime.

But it wasn’t Iz. It was Julia.

“Hey,” she said. “All dressed up and nowhere to go, huh?”

“Pretty much. Come in.”

We plunked down on the living room couch.

“Are you in as big trouble as Eric thinks?” she asked uneasily.

“Worse.”

“Shit.” Julia shook her head. “Eric feels horrible. He let it slip that you met up with us one time, and then Iz started firing all these questions at him.”

I shrugged. “It’s a catch-22. If I’d told her we were hanging out, she would’ve been pissed off. And now she’s upset that I never mentioned it.”

“The girl’s trippin’. Eric said so himself. I know she’s your best friend, but it’s true.”

“She’s freaked out because I’m going away to college. I think that’s what’s behind this.”

“Well, I told Eric to go without me tonight. Iz would probably hiss at me and throw holy water.”

I laughed. “You should go, Julia. You’ve got nothing to apologize for. Be nice and show her you have nothing against her.”

“Seriously?”

“Trust me. If you don’t go, she’ll think we’re sitting here talking about her.”

Julia smiled. “Which we are.” She looked like she was about to get up, but then she stopped. “And Maddie, I’m sorry for all this. I never meant to come between you guys. I know what it’s like to lose friends and . . . I’d never do that to you.”

“I know.”

I hugged her, then walked her to the door. “Now go get showered with holy water and call me tomorrow.”
