avid's arm as if it offended him.

David looked back dispassionately, but a sort of wordless menace exuded f rom him. Macon actually took a step back. But all he said was, "Well, my parents are gone for the weekend, so make yourself at home. There should be food somewhere."

There was food everywhere. Every kind of munchy thing. Music blasted from the den, echoing all over the house. As they walked in, Cory greeted them with, "Hey, guys! Grab a glass, it's going fast."

When he'd said that he would round up a keg last week, Gillian had foolish ly misheard it as "a cake." Now she understood. It was a keg of beer and e verybody was drinking.

And not just beer. There were hard liquor bottles around. One guy was lying on a table with his mouth open while a girl poured something from a rectangu lar bottle into it.

"Hey, Jill, this is for you." Cory was trying to give her a plastic glass with foam overflowing the top.

Gillian looked at him with open scorn. She didn't need Angel's help for this.

"Thanks, but I happen to like my brain cells, Maybe if you had more respect for yours you wouldn't be flunking biology."

There was laughter. Even Cory laughed and winced.

"Right on," Daryl the Rich Girl said, raising a can of diet Barq's root beer to Gillian in salute. And David waved Cory away and reached for a Coke.

Nobody tried to pressure them and the guy on the table even looked a littl e embarrassed. Gillian had learned that you could pull anything off if you were cool enough, composed enough, and if you didn't back down. The feeli ng of success was much more intoxicating than liquor could have been.

(How about that? Pretty good, huh? Huh? Huh?)

(Oh ... oh, yeah, fine.) Angel seemed to deliberate. (Of course, it does say,

"Wine maketh the heart of man glad. . . .") (Oh, Angel, you're so silly. You sound like Cory!) Gillian almost laughed ou t loud.

Everything was exciting. The music, the huge house with its opulent Christm as decorations. The people. All the girls threw their arms around Gillian a nd kissed her as if they hadn't seen her in weeks. Some of the boys tried, but David warned them off with a look.

That was exciting, too. Having everyone know she was together with David Bl ackburn, that he was hers. It put her status through the ceiling.

"Want to look around?" David was saying. "I can show you the upstairs; Mac on doesn't care."

Gillian looked at him. "Bored?"

He grinned. "No. But I wouldn't mind seeing you alone for a few minutes."
