Bianca turned the corner and checked the numbers on the houses as she passed. Carina had offered to drive her to Margot’s, but when Bianca found out Margot lived only a few blocks away from their new home, she opted to walk instead.

She slowed as she approached the faded-yellow house with the big oak tree in the yard. She reached into the back pocket of her jeans, pulled out the flash drive Jay had given her, and swallowed hard. She didn’t know if Margot would even talk to her, but she knew she had to at least try to set the record straight.

Mustering her courage, she crossed the lawn and climbed the two steps onto the front porch. Her heartbeat quickened, but she forced herself to raise her hand and knock. Words tumbled through her head, words she might say, how she would explain who she was if one of Margot’s parents answered the door.

Footsteps sounded inside, and Bianca braced. Then the door swung open, and she found herself face-to-face with Todd’s girlfriend.

Bianca tightened her grip on the flash drive in her hand. “We haven’t met. I’m Bianca Channing.”

Margot crossed her arms and stared. “I know who you are.”

“No, you only think you know who I am.” Bianca took a steadying breath and forced herself to continue. “I know you think I’ve been sneaking around with Todd. I want you to know that isn’t true. It’s never been true.”

She huffed out a breath. “Why should I believe you?”

“Because I don’t have any reason to lie.” Bianca held up the flash drive in her hand. “And because I brought you this.”

“What is it?”

“It’s a video clip. Please watch it. If you do, you’ll know what’s really been going on.”

Margot stared at Bianca for several seconds. Then she reached out and took the offered flash drive.

“I promise you, I haven’t done anything to hurt you.” Bianca took a step back. “I guess I’ll see you at school.”

A little wrinkle formed on Margot’s brow as though she were deep in thought. Then, without a word, she stepped back and closed the door between them.
