Dayton still seemed happy to exchange Megan’s tutoring assistance for supporting her campaign. He was even wearing her button. Of course, he was also eating her chocolate bars. But it seemed a fair trade. Except that she was running low. Note to self, she thought. Put in another rush order for chocolate bars. It might be expensive, but it would probably be worth it by the last week when the campaigning would turn hot and heavy.

“Looks like you’re running for prom queen alone.” Dayton pointed to one of her posters as they came out of the classroom together. “No one else seems to be putting any stuff up.”

“Oh, they will,” she assured him. “I heard Amanda telling someone that she’s got a really slick campaign. It sounded like she’s getting some professional help with it. You’d think that’d be against the rules.”

“I don’t see why. Besides, it’s Amanda Jorgenson. Didn’t you know that girl just floats above the rules?” He rolled his eyes.

“Still . . . it seems unfair.”

He nodded. “Yeah, but that’s life. And just so you know, I’m sure Hallie’s got something up her sleeve too. Now there’s a girl who likes to break rules.”

“Anyway, I’m glad to have a head start.” She tapped his campaign button. “And I’m glad you’re in my court.”

He grinned. “Hey, I like you, Megan. I really hope you win.”

“You’re not just saying that because I’m helping you in class?”

He shook his head with a sincere expression. “No way. You’re a good kid, Megan.” He chuckled as he stopped by his locker. “I know Hallie and Amanda well enough to know they don’t deserve this. I honestly hope you win. And I’m telling my friends to vote for you.”

“Thanks.” As she said this, she noticed Hallie watching them from where she was standing next to her locker. It was hard to read Hallie’s expression, but unless Megan was mistaken, the girl was jealous. Okay, the irony of someone like Hallie Bennett being jealous of Megan was a bit hard to believe. But as Megan parted ways with Dayton, she felt certain of it. And she liked it.

In fact, as she walked to the cafeteria, she thought if Jack didn’t ask her to prom, which she was hoping and praying would happen, maybe Dayton would. She didn’t like Dayton nearly as much as Jack, but he would be a good backup plan.

“Are you going to help me glaze bowls after school?” Lishia asked as Megan joined her friends in the lunch line.

“I want to, but I have rehearsal.”

“In other words, talk is cheap.”

“Huh?”

“You promised to help glaze bowls, but you can’t manage to squeeze it into your busy schedule?”

“How about this weekend?” Even as Megan said this, she remembered that the prom committee was meeting on Saturday morning.

“This batch needs to be in the kiln this weekend.” Lishia gave her a you-should-know-this look.

“Sorry. But it’s not like I can be in two places at one time.”

“Guess you should’ve thought of that sooner,” Janelle told her.
