OUR RELAXING, MOVIE-time lunch was scrapped. We used the little time we had left to obsess over every line, inflection, movement, and shadow of For All’s video. Walking into Munoz’s class, we heard the girls having the same conversation. They huddled around Everly’s desk, bend over her computer.

Isla ran up to Melody. “Mel, did you get the video?”

“We watched it five times.”

“But did you see the patch,” Lauren piped up. “He’s a B.”

“Why would a B do this?” May asked. “They don’t have it that bad.”

“They don’t have it as good as us,” Everly replied. “I said whoever was doing this was bitter that they couldn’t hack it.”

A whoosh of air blew my skirt.

“Ladies, please,” Munoz cried. “Sit down.”

Munoz tossed her things on her desk, looking frazzled. Her blouse was untucked and a dab of mustard decorated the corner of her mouth. It seemed For All interrupted her lunch too.

Everly stood. “Mrs. Munoz, did you—”

She put up her hands. “I’ve seen the video. We all have. Principal Whittaker is handling it as we speak.”

“But did he notice the patch?”

“Yes. We saw the B.” Munoz clutched her chest and released a long breath. “The officers have been informed. They will conduct another dorm search and pull the B students out for questioning. Girls and boys to be safe. When For All is found, he will be expelled. It doesn’t matter that he claims he will cease his attacks. I’m just relieved this is over.”

“Best part,” said May, “is that they can make him pay for the damages and the senior trip will be back on.”

The girls clapped. Their spirits were lifted. All was right in their world once again. My world not so much.

After class, I texted the boys. I hadn’t heard from either of them since Derek bailed on me that morning. By then I knew Hunter was right that there was something wrong. At least one or all of them would have sent me an explicit text before the final bell rang if it was a normal day.

Me: Is everything okay? Is there another issue in the Network?

My cell vibrated a couple minutes later.

Derek: Meet me tonight in our place.

Me: I’ll be there.
