The chemistry teacher handed out a worksheet packet for the chapter on physical versus chemical changes, and half the class groaned.

But all I could think about was the fact that my phone was just a few feet over in Jesse’s pocket.

I had to get it back.

But how?

Not without telling him who I was, and I couldn’t tell him the truth. Not today.

I looked hideous. My hair was up in a messy bun. I wore my big, old-fashioned glasses. No makeup. I mean, I was in jeans and a long-sleeved shirt for goodness’ sake.

No way he’d recognize me, much less believe me, when I told him it was me that night. That I was TheRealCinderella.

He’d laugh in my face. Or walk away, thinking I was some crazy girl. Or worse, a liar. A nobody who wanted to be a somebody.

I tried to focus on the chemistry problems in front of me, but it was useless. I kept looking over at Jesse. His hand kept going to his pocket, like he was making sure my phone was still there. No way he’d just leave it sitting on his desk or in his backpack where I could grab it.

I glanced at Rey again, but she shrugged.

I put my head down on my desk as all these thoughts ran through my mind. It was hopeless. And one thing was for sure. I’d have a lot of homework tonight.

The girl next to Jesse and his friend played with her pencil as she spoke. “I still think it was one of the cheerleaders. She was dressed like the rest of us.”

Jesse shook his head, not looking up from the chemistry packet in front of him. “She wasn’t a cheerleader. I know that much.”

I smiled at that, my face glowing despite the feeling of lava in my stomach.

“Dude,” his friend Will said, “why would you want to go out with anyone else?”

My heart deflated at Will’s comment, but I studied the look on Jesse’s face.

“You wouldn’t understand. All I know is I have to find her. I have her phone, so she has to be looking for it, right?” He took my phone out of his pocket, and I saw the all too familiar screensaver flash in my direction. A small smile reached the corner of his mouth. “Well, like I keep saying, you guys find out someone is missing their phone, you let them know where they can find it.”

And with that, he picked up his pencil and got to work.
