Once the meeting begins, Brandon turns to Spud and wrings his hands anxiously, which is an unusual sight.

“So Spud, about the Alternative Yearbook … ”

Spud nods.

“Well, we, like, put you in charge of it … ”

Spud nods.

“And, like, from what I’ve been hearing you haven’t exactly been asking around for information … or help.”

Spud nods.

“So I guess what I’m saying is, are you into the whole Alternative Yearbook thing?”

Spud nods. “Dude.”

Brandon visibly relaxes. “Cool. So you’re making progress?”

Spud nods. “Dude.”

“So can we see what you’ve got so far?”

“Whoa,” grunts Spud, like a pit bull guarding a bone.

Brandon drops the matter because he values his life. Then he looks over my way and asks for an update. I notice he doesn’t seem as intimidated by me.

“Well,” I say, leaning back in my chair, “I’ve got an entry for Jessica Pantley.”

“Cool. Who gave you that?”

“No one. I got it myself.”

“So … you had a date with Jess Pantley?”

“Yup.”

At least half the jaws in the room are hanging open, and although it’s not a pretty sight, the effect is quite empowering.

Brandon tries to hide his surprise. “So what are her stats?”

I pretend to study the book as if I haven’t actually memorized them already. “34B-25-35.”

“34B my ass,” shouts Zach. “Don’t tell me, you used the same scientific guesswork as before.”

“Actually, I felt them, and they’re right on 34B.”

“You felt them? Or did you just have a grope while she was still wearing a bra?”

I don’t say anything.

“See! You didn’t touch them at all. She was probably wearing a padded bra, you moron.” He looks imploringly at Brandon. “Come on, Brandon, it’s time for dorkus here to go.”

“Zach,” says Brandon soothingly, “the fact is, Kev has filled in the blanks under two prized girls, in one week. All you had to do was dish the dirt on Taylor—who happens to be your girlfriend, by the way—but you haven’t even managed that. So until you can prove to us that you’re worthy of the job, how about you get off Kevin’s case?”

Being Brandon’s best buddy has some real perks.

Zach nods slowly. “All right, I’ll get you Taylor’s numbers,” he mumbles. “Leave it to me.”

A part of me wants to say that this is quite unlikely since she’s dumped him. But then I wonder, what if she hasn’t actually dumped him? What if she’s just two-timing him? And so I decide to keep my mouth shut.

But I’ll still go on a date with her, because if she is two-timing Zach, I’ll enjoy myself even more.
