CHAPTER NINE

According to Claire-Ann, this is “the most important” day of my life, yet I feel like my biorhythms are totally on the fritz.

I think I pulled something in my back this morning when Nancy the Nazi Pilates trainer had me do some God-awful stretch while in Downward-Facing-Dog position. Then, as soon as I get to school, I tell Katy she’s got a poppy seed in her teeth (which we’d totally agreed we’d always tell each other – anything stuck in teeth, smeared under eyes or dangling from noses) and she burst into tears. Jordana says it was because Katy’s PMSing, but since the three of us cycle, I know it must be more. Maybe something to do with the fact that she didn’t go out with Rick Sommers this weekend.

I’m stressing about the Econ test, although I know I’ll ace it. It’s just the panic of taking it after the fact and hoping I won’t mess up and screw with my senior grades that Columbia is no doubt pouring over at this moment.

And to top it all off, I saw that beyotch, Amber Faulkner-Stewart putting the moves on Ty between third and fourth period. Giving him her perfect little pout and sticking her boobs out like an advertisement. I’ll give Ty this, though. He didn’t seem interested in the least and then brushed her off to hook up with me and walk me to Chemistry class. What a guy!

But high school bliss doesn’t last long enough as Claire-Ann’s waiting for me out front of the school at two forty-five sharp, following my Econ makeup (it was a snap!)

She smacks The Miami Herald into my lap and says, “Well, this answers where you were all day yesterday.”

“What do you mean?”

Claire-Ann glares over the top of her sunglasses and pulls the Mercedes out onto the street. “Honestly, Chai. I thought we had a relationship based on trust. And you go sneaking off without telling me?”

“I didn’t sneak, Claire-Ann. I went to Nikki Beach with Ty Willingham and didn’t realize I had to report my every move to you.” Okay, that was a bit snotty, but I can talk to her this way. All part of the way she raised me, so she’s got to take it when I give it.

“I’m not upset, doll, I just wish I’d known you were going to be with him. I would have gotten a better photographer to get that picture of you.”

I frown at her. “What picture?”

“Page twenty,” she says, indicating the newspaper in my lap.

“Since when do you read the newspaper?” I ask with a laugh while I fumble through the pages that are blowing in the breeze. Reading a newspaper in a convertible ain’t easy.

“Since Madelyn Hughes next door brought it over to me and said, ‘oh, I see Chai’s dating super model Ty Willingham. I’m sure they’ll have beautiful children.”

I don’t want to think about having Ty’s babies, not just yet. Not when I need to figure out what’s going on. There it is.
