Chapter Eleven

“AND YOU’RE SURE HE’S REALLY GOING TO?” TARA ASKS, WHILE SHE’S staring in the mirror.

“Yep. Some time tonight. He has to come back to school for a debate team meeting.”

I still can’t believe he’s doing this for me. If only it was because he likes me. As in likes me. That would be like all my birthday’s coming at the same time.

“Is he going to text you once he’s asked her?”

“I don’t think so.” It didn’t cross my mind to ask him. Then again, knowing Dan he’d say they’d be no need because I should be able to tell.

“So how will we find out then? Unless Alice tells you. I hope so. I won’t be able to sleep tonight until I know. This is soooo exciting. Well, not exciting for Dan, but you know what I mean.”

To be honest, I’m not sure that I do. And exciting isn’t the word I’d have chosen. My hugest worry is that he’ll go out with her, realize she’s a lot nicer than he thought and then want to see her again. Just having this worry is scary enough, because if it’s actually one of my feelings then it’s going to happen.

“Yeah, I suppose. As long as he doesn’t suddenly discover that underneath her bitchy exterior she’s really nice.”

“Megan. You don’t seriously think he’ll fall for her, do you?” She rolls her eyes toward the ceiling.

“It hasn’t stopped other guys, in the past. She’s never been short of boyfriends, has she?”

“Agreed. But this is Dan we’re talking about, and there’s nothing she can do to sway him. He’s too loyal to Ben. She’s a cheater and guys like Dan don’t go for girls like that.”

“How can you be so sure?” I ask.

“Look.” She picks up the half eaten bag of chips from my desk, sits on the edge of my bed and gives a sigh. “I have known Dan all my life, so if anyone should know it’s me.”

“How come you didn’t know about him dating Kristin until I told you?”

“And how come you can’t tell whether or not he’s going to fall for her?” she reports.

“Don’t start. It’s Alice’s belief that I know everything which got me into this mess in the first place.”

Maybe I should give out a pre-appointment fact sheet, so all my clients know exactly what to expect, and what I do and do not know.

“Don’t worry. Everything will be all right,” Tara reassures. “And if you’re so worried about it, we can always go with them to the movies.”

“I bet Dan would love us to make up a foursome. You, me, Dan and Alice, it’s so... ouch.” I rub my leg where Tara prodded it with her foot. “What did you do that for?”

“Because you’re being an idiot. I didn’t mean go with them, as in with them. I meant we could follow them, and sit behind to keep an eye on things.”

“And if they sit in the back row, they’ll see us.”

“Okay,” says Tara. “What about we
