“Thanks a lot, you jerk,” Elsie growled, glaring at me as we waited for the school bus to go back home. “Thanks to you, I have to go to detention tomorrow. The only reason I didn’t have to today is because I have Brownies!”

I shrugged. Junior almost always had detention, and I did half the time. Big whoop.

“You shouldn’t have sent that cupid after me,” I shot back.

“You? You think I like you?” Elsie shrieked. “You stupid moron! You’re just like my brother! And you ruined my cupcakes last week!”

We’d made the bowl dump cupcake goo all over her head when the baseball game on TV had said “Batter up!” I’d forgotten all about that. It had been funny.

“Junior saw you chanting love spells over a Valentine’s card with my name on it,” I accused. “Explain that.”

“Stupid!” Elsie hissed, clenching her fists. Her eyes had gone light pink with embarrassment. “That wasn’t you. That was Donovan in my class!”

“There’s a Donovan in your class?” I asked, dumbfounded. “Who’s he?”

Elsie folded her arms and glowered. But her eyes flickered off to the side to a line of kids waiting for another bus. There was only one from her class whose name I didn’t know.

“Wait, the fat kid? You like him?”

“Shush up!” Elsie hissed, waving her hands wildly. “It’s none of your business!”

Uh huh. Wow. I grinned broadly. Boy, have we got ammunition on her now.

Still, I dropped a purple Valentine’s heart that said DREAM ON down the back of her T-shirt as soon as she spun away. Just in case.
