and　said；　“Oh；　right。”

I　positively　crumbled　onto　the　floor。　And　in　a　flash　the　voices　were　gone。　Darla　checked

around　the　corner；　then　sat　beside　me；　saying；　“Oh；　Jules；

Im　so；　so　sorry。　I　thought　he　was　about　to　confess　that　hes　been　crushing　on　you。”

………　Page　63………

“What？　Darla；　Bryce　does　not　have　a　crush　on　me。”

“Where　have　you　been？　Havent　you　noticed　the　way　hes　been　looking　at　you？　That　boy　is

lost　in　Loveland。”

“Oh；　obviously！　You　just　heard　him；　Darla！”

“Yeah；　but　yesterday；　yesterday　I　caught　him　staring　at　you　and　he　said　there　was　a　bee　in

your　hair。　A　bee；　girl。　Is　that　the　lamest　cover…up　youve

ever　heard　or　what？”

“Darla；　the　way　things　have　been　going；　I　wouldnt　be　surprised　if　there　was　a　bee　in　my

hair。”

“Oh；　you　think　youre　that　sweet；　huh？　Just　attract　bees　like　honey？　Well；　honey；　the　only

bee　youre　attracting　around　here　is　B…r…y…c…e。　Cute；

yeah。　But　after　what　I　just　heard；　Id　stomp　and　grind；　girl。　Stomp　and　grind。”　She　got　up　to　go

but　turned　and　said；　“Dont　worry。　I　wont　jabber。”

I　just　shook　my　head　and　forgot　about　Darla。　How　wrong　could　a　person　be。

It　was　what　Bryce　and　Garrett　had　said　that　I　couldnt　forget。　How　could　they　be　so　cruel？

And　so　stupid？　Is　this　what　my　father　had　gone　through

growing　up？

The　more　I　thought　about　it；　the　angrier　I　got。　What　right　did　Bryce　have　to　make　fun　of　my

uncle？　How　dare　he！

I　felt　fire　burn　in　my　cheeks　and　a　cold；　hard　knot　tighten　in　my　heart。　And　in　a　flash　I　knew—I

was　through　with　Bryce　Loski。　He　could　keep　his

brilliant　blue　eyes。　He　could　keep　his　two…faced　smile　and…　and　my　kiss。　Thats　right！　He

could　keep　that；　too。　I　was　never；　ever　going　to　talk　to　him

again！

I　stormed　back　to　the　section　of　books　on　Susan　B。　Anthony；　found　two　that　would　work；　and

then　went　back　to　my　table。　But　as　I　was　collecting

my　things　to　check　out　of　the　library；　I　remembered。　The　next　day　we　were　going　to　the

Loskis　house　for　dinner。

I　zipped　up　my　backpack　and　threw　it　on　my　shoulder。　Surely　after　what　had　happened；　I　had

the　right　to　vote　against　going！
