said, biting off each of his words.
    â€œKiki, are you worried about recommendations too?” Franklin asked in a fake, sugary voice.
    â€œNope.” Her father was chief of neurosurgery at Vanderbilt University, which meant she’d have a full ride there if she got in. And her parents’ strict rule that getting more than one B in any six week period would mean having to quit the band, had kept her on the principal’s honor list since freshman year. Getting into college was one thing she didn’t have to worry about—balancing college with touring, however, was a whole other story. “That’s not the problem.”
    â€œSo what’s your damage?” Franklin sneered. “Are you jealous ?”
    â€œOf your deranged fans?” Kiki retorted. “I don’t think so! But I am amazed that you could be stupid enough to think that one of your little idiots did this!”
    Franklin smirked, and did his patented hair toss again. “When was the last time some guy threw his boxers on stage for you?”
    â€œFanboys don’t do that to get attention, dumb-ass! They send CDs to my parents’ house and flowers and cow hearts on Valentine’s Day! Did you hear the sound quality on that recording? That was serious equipment—professional grade. Any of your fans with that kind of money would spend it on hooker clothes, not micro-recorders!”
    â€œLook who’s talking!” Mark shouted before Franklin could think up an answer. “Maybe if you didn’t dress like that, maybe you wouldn’t have to worry about crazy stalkers!”
    Kiki was so stunned she couldn’t answer. She could barely breathe. Her clothes were definitely sexy, but compared to most girls in the industry, she looked like a nun. Mark’s face was almost as red as Kiki’s lipstick, and he was panting as if he had just run a mile, but he kept yelling anyway. “What do you mean, cow hearts on Valentine’s Day? Who’s sending you that crap?”
    â€œWhat do you care?” she screamed back. “You think anyone who plays the drums is a loser!”
    â€œBack into the office, please,” a stern voice behind them ordered. Kiki shut her eyes for a moment. They should definitely have gotten farther away from Dr. Eckhart’s office before they started lobbing insults.
    They followed Dr. Eckhart meekly. Kiki couldn’t stop trembling, even though Dr. Eckhart sat in complete silence for five full minutes, waiting for someone to say something.
    Once again, it was Mark who broke the silence. “I’m sorry,” he mumbled. “That was my fault.”
    â€œIndeed? I was sure I heard more than one voice shouting.”
    â€œI’m sorry, too,” Kiki immediately echoed. And she was. She could not remember the last time she was so sorry.
    Dr. Eckhart tapped her fingertips together lightly. “You know, I’ve said from the beginning that you were too young for the responsibilities a band entails. Your grades haven’t fallen, so I haven’t complained too much, but shouting matches in the middle of first period are difficult to condone.”
    â€œIt’s not really our fault,” Franklin insisted. “It’s all because of the announcement thing.” He shrank a little into the chair, then asked, “Are you going to suspend us?”
    â€œThe zero-tolerance policy on fighting does not apply to verbal violence, so the answer is no. But I may have to speak to your parents tonight. You are far too old for this sort of nonsense.”
    Franklin perked up, but Kiki and Mark slumped in despair. They didn’t have a lot of freedom, and they were both certain that a little more would soon be taken away. Their only hope was that something even worse would happen over the course of the day, distracting Dr. Eckhart before she began her daily round of phone calls.
    â€œGo to class,” Dr. Eckhart ordered, and they
