EXCERPT
As luck would have it, Dylan Scott, the school’s notorious “bad boy,” is leaning
against the tall front counter, smirking at me. I’m studiously ignoring him and
trying not to think what a great story this will make for him to share with
friends later.
“Ava, dear,” the compassionate office lady croons. “I have these gym sweats you
can wear.” She holds up a tattered pair of blue sweatpants that look at least
two sizes too big. I gag a little at the thought of them coming off the body of
a sweaty boy who probably farted and scratched himself while wearing them.
“I’m afraid you’ve run us out of shirts.” Her face is all droopy with apology.
“The only thing I can offer you is this one. I promise it’s been laundered.
Looks like it’ll fit, though.”
I bite my bottom lip to hold in the strange mewling sound that wants to escape.
“That’s my shirt.”
Dylan barks out a laugh and Mrs. Jensen glowers at him. He shrugs and holds out
a hand to me. “Can you blame me?”
I step forward to snatch the clothes from Mrs. Jensen. The shirt used to be my
favorite. It’s a flirty little button-up with cap sleeves. The cut makes me look
like I have more of a figure than I do. But it’s as white as a fresh snowfall.
Or it was until the spaghetti lunch incident. I must have left it in the
bathroom after I changed that day.
