Chapter Eight

Lunch the next day marked the third straight school day of Connor acting unnaturally subdued. Ever since the party, he’d sat silently for the majority of the period and repeatedly shot me furtive looks from his spot at our table. But honestly, I didn’t care enough about Connor to ask him why he was acting so strangely. In fact, I cared so little for him that I’d always wondered why he’d never bothered to sit anywhere else, especially given that it should’ve been clear to him by now that none of the girls at our table were ever going to give him the time of day.

But I wasn’t thinking about Connor at all that Wednesday. In fact, I went to Jake almost immediately once I entered the cafeteria, and pulled him aside to ask him for a ride to the LGBT resource center after school. It wasn’t that I didn’t think Sarah’d be willing to give me a ride, but given my reason for going, I decided it’d be best to just keep my trip from her altogether. If our positions were reversed and I knew my best friend and fake lesbian girlfriend was questioning her sexuality, I’d probably be understandably concerned. And I didn’t want Sarah to be concerned. I just wanted her to land her guy and then we could start our fake breakup. Or I was pretty sure that was what I wanted.

Jake agreed to give me a ride, and mentioned needing to talk to Owen about our upcoming plans for October 11th anyway, so with that set, I spent the next few hours waiting for the day to end.

At last, three o’clock came. My last class was forced to stay a little late; it was lab day and we hadn’t done a good enough job of cleaning up after ourselves, and we had one of those uptight teachers who insisted upon having everything spotless before anyone could leave the classroom.

I wound up fast-walking down a deserted hallway to my locker with the intention of meeting Jake by his car after I’d put my books away, but I paused right before I slammed my locker door shut, hearing familiar voices coming from within the boys’ bathroom just across the hall.

“When? Next week?” one of the voices said.

Then came the other one: “Yeah, next Monday night. We’ve got a test in our English class we’re gonna study for.”

My eyebrows furrowed. That second voice was Sam, and the first boy sounded like one of the ones from the party. I heard laughter as I stood stock-still, my hand gripping my locker door tighter by the second.

“Man, you know you two won’t be doing any studying, dyke girlfriend of hers or not.” There was more laughter, and a sink came on.

“Yeah, probably not.”

“Juggling two at once, though; that’s gotta be tough for you to pull off. Christine’ll be pissed if she finds out.”

“So she won’t. They don’t talk, anyway.”

“Ohhh… that’s right. Although, maybe you could talk her into letting you have both.
