I know for sure that today Seth is at track practice because I saw him running laps on my way out of the school parking lot, so I figure I’m safe in here until at least five

o’clock, when practice is over, or until Jacob sends out a search party for me when I don’t return from the bathroom.

I can’t believe how immaculate the room is. Everything is exactly where it’s supposed to be. There’s not a crumb in sight, a clothing article on the ground, or a stray piece of paper lying on the desk. Jade warned me that the room might look like this. True to his Golden Boy image, Seth’s also obsessive-compulsive when it comes to his things,

which only adds yet another item to the list of reasons why Seth and his brother are exact opposites. Jacob’s room, which I saw briefly when we went hunting through stacks

of paper on the floor for his last algebra test to review, is probably on the watch list for the next federal disaster area.

Seth’s immaculateness and attention to detail only help us in our quest. He keeps everything pertaining to his life and his schedule on his PDA cel phone, a birthday present

from his parents, which he keeps with him at al times. And since Seth’s schedule for the week is exactly the information that we’re after, Jade suggested an alternative way of accessing it.

“The minute he gets home from school,” she explained to me before I left for my tutoring session with Jacob, “he always sits down at his desk and syncs that stupid thing

with his precious computer. He did it every day the entire time we were dating. And not until after the information was transferred over would we be able to make out or do

anything remotely fun. It was incredibly lame.”

I quickly take a seat at his desk and turn on his laptop. I open up the right application, and the screen immediately fils with a weekly schedule. I quickly press print and wait as the schedule prints. I grab it and stuff it in my back pocket. Then I shut the computer down and head back toward the closed door.

But as I reach for the door handle, I hear a faint knocking sound folowed by Jacob’s voice. “Maddy?”

Okay, not good.

Don’t panic, I instruct myself as I stop dead in my tracks, my hand frozen in midair. There’s a reasonable explanation for why I’m in here, I just have to find it. If I were Jade, I would have already come up with three, and I’d be able to deliver them with flawless credibility thanks to my perfected theatrical skils. Only problem is, I’m not Jade.

I’m Madison (I feel my ful name is probably appropriate here given the gravity of my current predicament). And Madison doesn’t act very wel. She also has a lot of trouble

lying. And at the moment, apparently breathing as wel.

There’s another knock, and I soon realize
