Chapter Twenty-Two

I waited in my car the next morning until the perfect moment presented itself. Rudy and his brothers were by the door, standing around in their usual spot. Julianne had arrived and was leading the other two toward the stairs, looking around for me. When the two groups were within shouting distance of one another, I walked across the parking lot.

I had time to examine Julianne’s face as I approached. There wasn’t even the slightest sign of chemical burns or excessive peels. In fact, she looked exactly the same way she did every day. Perfect.

Somehow the perfection of her skin annoyed me more than the fact of her betrayal. I kept my expression neutral until I got to her. By then, she was more than close enough to the Seymores that even a casual conversation was sure to be overheard by them.

I wasn’t sure then why it was so important to me that Rudy believe my side of the story. I had already been convinced for years that he didn’t like me for reasons beyond my control—but the last few weeks had made him one of the few people whose opinion of me I cared about. I didn’t mind if he hated me for something I did, but it infuriated me to think that he thought badly of me for something that wasn’t even my fault.

“What the hell, Julianne?” Maybe not the most diplomatic way to begin, but I was beyond diplomacy.

Her pretty smile curved down into the sort of frown that wouldn’t leave wrinkles. She was very conscientious about that kind of thing. “What’s the matter, Kennedy?”

“You bailed on me and didn’t even have the courtesy to tell me? What was I supposed to do when you didn’t show up to take your great hulking goat of a boyfriend off my hands?”

She blinked at me like she had no idea what I was talking about, then her eyes widened. She hid a laugh behind her hand, then reached out to me. “Oh god, Kennedy! You didn’t actually go through with it, did you? Oh my god, I was kidding! You think I’d really ask you to flirt with my boyfriend? Really?”

My stomach curdled. She had asked me, and she had been serious, damn it. Joan and Macy were staring at me in shock and disapproval.

I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes at her, knowing that there wasn’t anything I could say at that point that wouldn’t sound defensive. She pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows at me patronizingly.

“Now, Kennedy, misunderstandings happen. Nothing came of it, right? Good. So you see, no harm, no foul. And girls? For the record, I totally don’t hold Kennedy responsible for flirting with Thomas. She took my joke a little too seriously, that’s all.” She smiled at me brightly, as if she’d done me some great service. “There! Now we’re all friends again. Let’s take this school by storm, shall we?”

I followed them in. I could feel Rudy’s eyes on me, and I knew my face was burning red.
