Then she remembered that she wasn’t going to talk to them, or hang out at all, so she’d never get to tell them.

“I hope we’re not going to read any more Gomer,” Rachel said, reaching for her backpack.

“Homer,” Erin corrected, “and I think we’re done with him. Today, we’re starting The Metamorphosis.”

“Is it about butterflies?”

Erin shot a God-give-me-patience look at Sasha before she said, “Sort of. A guy wakes up one day, and, for no apparent reason, he’s been turned into a giant bug.”

“You mean a butterfly.” “No, a bug. And everyone hates him.” “Duh. Bugs are gross.” Then the bell rang, and Mrs. Redmond welcomed the class back from the weekend. “I’ve been asked to announce that anyone feeling the need to talk about Reilly O’Brien’s unfortunate accident this weekend can do so by signing up to meet with a counselor, who’ll be in the library all this week.”

Sasha stiffened when she heard Reilly’s name and, without thinking, turned to look at Brett. He caught her look, then leaned over and whispered something to one of the bees. She leaned forward and whispered something to another one, and so on, until, within seconds, they were all looking at her like she was dirt. Brett was grinning.

Turning to face the front again, she was chilled to the bone, and it had nothing to do with temperature. What had Brett said to make them look at her like that?

The hour dragged on, Mrs. Redmond calling on different dressed in 7 jeans and Tory people to read aloud. Sasha noticed Amanda sat by herself, never looking up from her book. She suspected she wasn’t reading, just avoiding eye contact with anybody.

When the bell rang, Sasha followed Erin and Rachel into the hall, feeling like a hanger-on, but powerless to stop herself. That they didn’t seem to mind, and even included her in their conversation, made them just about her most favorite people ever.

She watched Jax walk away with Brody on one side and Bubbles stuck like a burr to the other. Another girl had attached herself to their little group, smiling shyly at Brody, who looked surprised. Thomas and Mason brought up the rear.

“Wouldja look at that?” Rachel asked, staring after them. “Thomas and Mason have jumped ship.”

“Who’s glad?” Erin asked, also staring.

“You are.” Rachel turned her bright, smiling eyes toward Sasha. “Erin’s had it for Thomas since forever, but he’s always hanging with Brett and East. Totally unapproachable.”

Sasha wanted to say there was a way bigger and better reason to be glad about Thomas not running with Brett and East, but she only nodded.

“Don’t act like I’m the only one,” Erin said. “You’d go for Mason in a heartbeat if he asked.”

Rachel grinned at Sasha. “She’s right. I know he’s sort of a big lug, but he can be really sweet—and funny.”

Proving, Sasha thought, that there really is someone for ever yone.

Julianne came out of the room, followed by the lesser bees. As they passed, every one of them gave Sasha that awful look again, like she was disgusting.
