hand. “That’s why we were talking.”
    “So? Why do you think you know what my type is, anyway?” I shoved the bow toward her, and she took it.
    She jammed it into the ground. “I’m not stupid. Just because I’m quiet doesn’t mean that I don’t know what goes on at this school.”
    I shifted but kept staring at her, still unsure exactly what she was getting at.
    She picked up another arrow. “All I mean is that you’re popular, and, well, he’s just not that type of guy.”
    Now she looked uncomfortable.
    “So because I’m popular, he wouldn’t be interested in me? Is that what you’re saying?”
    “No. It’s more than that.”
    “Then what is it?”
    “You wouldn’t understand.”
    I will not kill Lexi. I will not kill Lexi. “You think Liam is too good for someone like me?”
    Lexi’s eyes widened. “No, that’s not what I’m saying.”
    “Then what are you saying?”
    Lexi stared, her eyes glassy. “I’m sorry… I just…” She dropped the bow on the ground and ran back toward the gym.
    I stood there with a handful of arrows feeling hurt, confused, and a little guilty.

    I filled in Tess on my Lexi encounter at lunchtime.
    “Okay, now that’s weird.”
    “Yeah, but she obviously didn’t tell me everything. Do you think he’ll only date girls like Lexi or what?”
    “I don’t know. Maybe you should ask him.”
    I looked over at where Liam was sitting with some guys at a table by the windows. It was one thing to try to get info from Lexi, but talking to Liam again was a whole other proposition.
    “Or just ask him out and get it over with. Mallory, you’re stressing over nothing. There are plenty of other guys who would go out with you.”
    But I didn’t want to go out with plenty of other guys. And I couldn’t even explain why I liked Liam. There was just something totally different about him. I was drawn to him. I loved the way he tapped out a rhythm on his jeans with his pencil when he was thinking hard in class. I loved how when he smiled, it made me want to smile, too. It had been so easyto stick with Todd before, because while I had found a few guys in my school cute and nice, I never really cared enough to do anything about it.
    Liam changed all that, and I had no plausible explanation for it.
    Tess threw her straw wrapper at me. “Snap out of it, girl. Just do it. What do you have to lose?”
    “My dignity.”
    Tess laughed. “Dignity is overrated. And if you don’t want him dating Lexi Do-Gooder by next weekend, you’d better do something. Because somehow, he doesn’t seem like the kind of guy to date around.”

    And Tess was totally right. As usual. But I couldn’t bring myself to do anything except stare at him from across crowded hallways. Which really wasn’t very useful.
    I dragged myself to cheerleading practice and tried to focus on Tess’s fund-raising event. She stood in front of the entire JV and varsity squad and went through her plan. I knew about it and was still impressed. The coaches asked most of the questions, but at the end they gave her the go-ahead to put together a committee to pull it off. Everyone split up to practice, and she came bouncing over to me.
    “I can’t believe it. So you’ll help me, of course, but who else should we recruit?” Tess turned and looked out across the gym. Everyone was inside because of the rain. “Maybe Olivia. She’s like a math whiz. That would be helpful,” she said.
    “Should we ask any of the seniors?”
    “I was thinking no, because what do they care if we getnew uniforms for next year? They’ll be gone. The juniors will work harder, don’t you think?”
    I agreed. It was also the juniors who would get to vote for team captain. Smart girl.

    By the end of practice we had a committee, and I realized that Tess’s project was going to take a huge chunk of time. I was put in charge of trying to find a building where we could collect the toys and do the pictures, for free, during the first part of
