Chapter Ten

All morning, my eyes are on the clock. Last class finishes at 11:50. Ten minutes to get to the garage before Jonathan gets things rolling. Eventually, the bell rings, and there’s a screech of chairs as everyone gets up. I slam my books and binders into my backpack. I’m out the door and heading down the hallway when someone steps in front of me.

“Yo, Dar!” he says. It’s the blond kid from History class. Mark. I shoulder past him.

“No, wait, man! I just wanted to say,” he says, hustling to keep up with me, “I just wanted to say that I heard you got in trouble with Hassel over me. No hard feelings?”

I shoot him a look as we walk. No hard feelings? I was the one pushing him around. Why is he apologizing to me? The fire doors slam open at the end of the hallway, and we’re outside in the cool autumn air. Mark drops back as I pick up speed, jogging down the sidewalk. From behind, I hear him yell.

“You on the way to the fight, right?”

I spin around. Mark stops, panting. Stupid dog smile on his face. Happy to get my attention at last. He says, “I’m going there too.”

I stalk back toward him, looking around to see who might have heard. Luckily, this side of the street is empty, and traffic is pretty loud.
