ning. After the day I’ve had I could run a hundred miles. Hey, it’s<br />

cheaper than therapy.<br />

Ms. T’s quiz had been more like a final exam. If I hadn’t read<br />

every word of the assignment I would have flunked big time. I make<br />

a mental note to thank Damian and Troy for the inside scoop.<br />

“Look what the sympathy vote dragged in,” a syrupy voice says<br />

when I walk into the locker room. A flurry of giggles erupt around<br />

Adara.<br />

Lifting my chin a notch, I stalk to my locker and spin the combination.<br />

In these situations it’s always better just to ignore the<br />

vicious cheerleader taunts. Witty retorts only wind up pissing them<br />

off more.<br />

“What’s the matter, kako?” She walks up beside me and plants<br />

one Reebok-shod foot on the bench. “Afraid to tangle with a goddess?<br />

Afraid you’ll lose?”<br />

I clench my jaw, but still say nothing. Jerking my sweatpants out<br />

of the locker, I fling them onto the bench—next to her foot—and<br />

begin unbuttoning my jeans.<br />

Out of the corner of my eye I see her lean down, blonde hair<br />

swinging over her shoulders, and snatch up my sweats.<br />

“Give those back,” I demand.<br />

She stands up on the bench and holds them over her head.<br />

“Come and get ’em.”<br />

With a growl I leap up on the bench with both feet. Leaning<br />

back, she holds the pants just out of my reach.<br />

“Give them back,” I warn. “Or I’ll—”<br />

“You’ll what?” Her lower lip pouts out and she flutters her eyelashes.<br />

“You’ll call your daddy to take them from me?”<br />
