Chapter Ten

The square was fairly crowded considering it was a Tuesday evening. Zoey pulled her car into an empty spot, and they waited to see if they were in the right area. The group of popular girls was still sitting on the benches talking to Shane and his friends when they left, and Beth had never been a welcome member of their group before, so she wasn’t completely sure they were parked on the right side of the square. She noticed Brittany pull in way down on the other side, like she knew her car would be scoffed at if she parked where the popular kids hung out. Beth’s three friends slowly began to walk in her direction.

“Should we get out?” Dee Dee asked, looking out the window.

“Hell if I know. I haven’t been on a square in eons,” Zoey replied. “Not since my sister brought us up here when we were, what, eleven?” she asked, looking at Beth.

Beth remembered the few times Zoey’s older sister had brought her home and they’d done a few laps with the older kids. “Yeah, I think so. We can get out.” She popped the car door and started to climb out.

“Wait,” Zoey said, reaching for her bag. “Let’s fix your eyes a little bit, and we could all use some powder. It’s still, like, a hundred degrees.” She quickly fixed Beth’s face and then checked herself in the mirror before they all climbed out. By then, Brittany, Lexy, and Andi were standing in the empty spot next to them.

“Zoey, you remember my friends Brittany, Andi, and Lexy, right?”

“Hey,” Zoey said with a friendly enough smile. “Nice to see you guys again.”

“And this is Dee Dee.” Beth gestured at the blonde.

“What’s up?” Dee Dee seemed a little less enthusiastic, but she wasn’t impolite.

Each of Beth’s friends from Barryville said hello, and they all stood around, waiting to see if they were wasting their time. A few minutes later, Carly’s car pulled into a spot just two over from Zoey’s car, and before long, all of the kids from the park were present, as well as a few more who generally hung out in the same circles but hadn’t been at the ball game.

“Hey, Beth!” Tiffany shouted, cupping her hands around her mouth. “Come show Janette your shorts.” As Beth began to walk over, she heard Tiffany say, “They’re super cool.”

“Oh, my God, I love those!” Janette, a senior who was also on the cheerleading squad, gushed.

“Where did you get them?” Tiffany asked.

“Oh, The Limited,” Beth said, nonchalantly, as if she had actually bought the shorts herself. “But the store in KC. Not the one in Joplin.” She rolled her eyes, like the one in the closer mall was completely lame. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Shane open his mouth, like he was going to tell them all she was lying and had never been to the mall in Kansas City, but she turned her head and glared at him, and he closed his mouth.
