Once they met up with the other girls in 5A and sat down to dinner, things seemed to get a little more normal. They all made a big deal of Grace and Spence going to the social together, of course—especially Brynn, who was thrilled that she and Grace would both have dates. But the weird feeling Grace had had before they went into the mess hall was gone. Priya and Chelsea seemed a little quiet at dinner, but Grace told herself that was probably just a coincidence.

There was no Survival Camp episode that night, so after dinner, everyone except Brynn marched to campfire, while Brynn headed to a special rehearsal. Grace was really beginning to miss Brynn. Oh well, she told herself. Once the play’s over, things will go back to normal.

After a few songs, Grace noticed Priya, Chelsea, and Gaby all deep in conversation a few feet away. She decided to walk over. She’d gotten kind of a weird feeling before dinner—maybe if she just hung out with them a little, she could get rid of it . . .

The three of them were speaking softly when Grace approached. She could just barely make out a few of the words Priya was saying.

“. . . such a flirt,” Priya was saying. “I mean, who knows? Who knows if he really—” Suddenly she looked up and saw Grace walking over. Her voice went back up to normal volume and she hastily smiled. “Hey, Grace!”

“Hey,” Grace replied cautiously. Why would Priya cut off what she was saying like that? What had she missed? “What are you guys talking about?”

“Nothing,” Gaby replied quickly.

But Priya gave her a look and turned back to Grace with a smile. “We were talking about the social,” Priya replied. “And what a dry spell we’re all having with boys . . . except for you!”

Priya’s smile widened, but there was something weird about it—it was a little too big and a little too fast. She was the only one smiling, too. Gaby was watching Grace with an indifferent look, and Chelsea was scowling.

“Well,” Grace said hesitantly, sitting down, “I’m sure you guys will find people to go with, if you want to. You’re all so awesome!”

Priya’s eyes warmed and she smiled a genuine smile. “Thanks, Grace.”

“So . . .” Grace went on. She still wanted to know who Priya was talking about before.“Who’s a big flirt? You were saying something when I walked up.”

Chelsea coughed suddenly and looked away. Priya’s smile left her face and she started to look a little nervous. “Who was I talking about? Um . . .”

“David,” Gaby interrupted loudly.

Grace furrowed her eyebrows. That didn’t make sense. “David? He seems pretty happy with Jenna. I don’t think he’s that flirty.”

Gaby shrugged. “We meant before Jenna.”

“You mean when he was with Sarah?” Grace was totally confused.

Priya sighed. She shot Gaby an annoyed look. “Actually,” she admitted, “we weren’t talking about David. We were talking about Spence.”

Grace looked back at Priya, surprised. She knew she must look hurt.
