“What if…” Lucy began and then stopped, biting her lip for a second before she continued, “what if I didn’t like Jason, and I said no. Do you think Jess would be mad at me because the guy she likes asked me out?”I scrunched up my forehead and stared at her for a long while. “No,” I said. “How would that be your fault? You can’t help it that you’re gorgeous and awesome.”She gave me a cynical smile. “Still, I think she’d be mad. It’d be human nature to be jealous.”“I agree,” Emma said, nodding. “I think she’ll be mad at you no matter what you say.”“You think?” I asked, turning my gaze to Emma.“Yeah, I mean, if Liam asked Lucy out, you’d be mad, wouldn’t you? Even if she said no?”I expected Lucy to say her usual comment when it came to Liam, “barf,” but she was only

Elliott managed a small smile and then leaned a little closer to me. “This isn’t over yet, though, Cass. Your sister might be out there hunting down other demons, but eventually, we will have to find Giovani and figure out what’s going on with Laura. If she did that on purpose, well, then….”“She needs to pay,” I finished for him. “Absolutely. Do you think there’s a chance she meant to hit Cadence?” My voice nearly cracked at the end of the question, it went up so high.“I don’t know,” he said quickly. “But… the fact that she used to date Aaron makes me think there’s a possibility.”“What?” I almost flew out of my chair. “Just how many ex-girlfriends does this man have? And are they all nuts?”“I know,” he agreed, putting his hands out as if to tell me to calm down. “I don’t know that it was on purpose.&rd

I had to know one thing. “Who was it?” I asked Lucy, not even turning my head to look at her.“It doesn’t matter,” Lucy replied. “She doesn’t like him. She said no. She’d rather run her arm through a meat grinder than go to the dance with that pig.”My forehead crinkled together. Liam was a pretty popular guy. He was cute, a good basketball player, friendly. I couldn’t think of anyone who didn’t like him. Anyone at all. Except…. Suddenly, everything made perfect sense. “You?” I asked, turning to look at my best friend. Lucy didn’t even look up from the floor. “It was you, wasn’t it?” My voice didn’t sound accusatory or angry, just shocked.“I’m sorry,” she said again, her voice weak. “I don’t know why he keeps trying. I thought I’d made it clear to him I didn’t like him. At all. But…”&ld

Monday morning, I walked into SHS like I owned that joint, my head held high, my shoulders back, my nicest pair of jeans on, and I looked every person I passed in the hallway dead in the eye. If any of them had heard about Liam asking my best friend to homecoming, well they could rest assured I was over it. Done. It was such old news, it wouldn’t even be popping up on Facebook anymore, and we all know that’s pretty much just for old people.I was at my locker, getting my books for first period, when I heard someone clear their voice behind me. I turned, remembering to be assertive, and was shocked to see none other than Liam White standing behind me with his hands in his jacket pockets and a sheepish grin on his face.I stared at him longer than I should have to be so cool and finally asked, “Yeah?” in as nonchalant a voice as I could muster. What? Was he here to apologize or something stupid like that? Well, let him; that ship was already out t

It all seemed a little odd to me. “Wait. Isn’t Eliza in California?” I asked. “Is that why you’re acting so weird?”“I’m not acting weird,” he protested. “Why would you say that?”“Something’s not right,” I replied. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. “Is Cadence in some sort of trouble or something?”“No, everyone is fine.” He shook his head at me like he thought I was overreacting. “I just… we’re working with some people, some shifty people, some people I don’t trust, and I just wanted to stop by and let you know, in case you heard anything, what was going on, that’s all.”My forehead was so wrinkled, I likely looked like a Shar-Pei. “Elliott, no one tells me anything except for you. Why would you bother to stop by and tell me this if it’s not a big deal?”He held my gaze for a
