CHAPTER 22
*WINNIE*
âLast day of school, baby!â I smacked Amelia on the butt as I ran into the kitchen from the front door. Then I did a lap of our tiny apartment, Rocky Balboa style.
âWoot!â She grabbed her phone and clicked through a few screens. Soon, the theme music to Rocky played over her cellâs speaker. âAnd, surprise, you should be receiving a call next week about the community manager position interview.â
âWhat?â I jumped up and down. âSo soon? Thatâs great!â
Finally.
Jeez. I felt such relief. After all the ups and downs with those videos and my social media accounts, the hard work was paying off.
She shimmied to the music. âYou should celebrate!â
I felt so pumped, so ready for the summer. âI think I will!â
In addition to the awesome news about the upcoming community manager interview, my schoolâs Parent-Teacher Organization had agreed to let me do a summer auction for the science fair materials as long as I secured all the items myself, wrapped it up before the start of the new school year, and didnât solicit any parents to donate anything or buy anything. Iâd submitted a bunch of grants, but I didnât want to take for granted (Ha! Pun intended) that any of them would get funded.
Now I simply needed to find items for the auction. Over the summer. Without asking any parents for help. But Iâd figure it out!

âYouâre right. I think I will.â
âAnd see if Byron can come over and share your fancy dinner.â
I stopped running and instead danced in place, punching the air. âYou know what? I think I will.â
What the heck, why not? After dyeing my hair on Friday, Byron had left, not staying for a gluten-free feast. Iâd let him go, not taking his need for space personally. Serena had come over and weâd roused a dozing Amelia for a game of Stardew Valley while they admired my new hair.
But Byron and I were officially friends now. Weâd spent time together almost every night this week even though we hadnât recorded any new videos. Another fundamental shift had occurred in our interactionsâa really good shift as far as I was concernedâand I attributed it not only to our honest conversations that night, but also to my physical avoidance of his body.
The notion had occurred to me last Saturday over breakfast while reading an article about imprinting via touch and smell. When Byron and I had met up later that day, Iâd put my theory to the test and kept my distance. Success!
My heart still hammered out of my chest whenever he entered the room, my neck grew hot, and my stomach swirled. But something about
