spill,” I said. “What did you do to Candy Shutt?”

    â€œShe came to Nights last night,” Shark said, spinning the beer bottle between his hands. “By the way, Nate, where were you?”
    â€œI did Calculus problems till two a.m.,” I said. “I can’t believe Martin assigned half the textbook!”
    â€œWell, anyway, I was waiting for Nikki, and Candy came striding in. You know the way she walks. Like she owns the place. Like she’s a star or something. And she cornered me in that booth over there.” He pointed.
    â€œThen she totally came on to me. She kept kissing me and, like, breathing on me, and saying we should take a walk together. And how she missed me so much it hurt.”
    Nikki’s green eyes went wide. “Shut up. I don’t believe it. Just before I came in?”
    Shark nodded. “Yeah. She was, like, all over me, man. She said we were so right together. So good together. You know. Like out of some wacked-out romance novel.”
    Shark shook his head and laughed. Then he raised the beer bottle to his mouth and emptied it.
    â€œSo what did you do?” Jamie asked him.
    Shark let out a loud burp.
    â€œCan’t take him anywhere,” Nikki muttered. “You’re so gross.”
    Shark grabbed my arm. He grinned at me. “Know what I did, Nate? I told her I felt the same way about her.”
    â€œShut up!” Nikki cried. She gave Shark a hard shove.
    Shark ignored her. “I said I couldn’t wait to hook up with her. I said I’d meet her tonight. Go to a movie. I told her to meet me at nine at the Cineplex.”
    â€œGet out!” Nikki said. “Did you go?”
    â€œOf course not,” Shark said. “ No way I’d go out with that slut.”
    â€œYou stood her up?” Jamie asked. “She was waiting there at nine, and you just didn’t show up?”
    Shark nodded, still grinning. “Yeah.”
    â€œWhy didn’t you just tell her to take a walk?” Jamie asked.
    â€œThis was funnier,” Shark said.
    â€œBut—,” Jamie started.
    â€œAnd think how good she felt all day,” Shark said. “Thinking she was going out with me. It made her day, right? I mean, till nine o’clock.”
    â€œThat’s mean,” Jamie said.
    â€œFor sure,” Shark agreed, his eyes flashing. “And then here’s what else I did. I changed the voicemail message on my cell. I changed it to say, ‘Have a nice day, Candy, you slut.’ ”
    Shark took my beer from my hand and finished it. “And sure enough, about nine twenty, my cell rang. I recognized Candy’s number. I didn’t pick up so she’d get my special message.” He tossed back his head and laughed.
    I just stared at him and didn’t say a word. I didn’t know what to say. I knew Shark was kinda wild and liked to act like a macho guy. But I never knew he had such a mean streak.
    I guess Candy had hurt him more than we realized.
    Shark was still laughing when Jamie suddenlywaved her hands for him to be quiet. Jamie’s eyes were on the front door.
    We all turned and saw the figure sweeping toward us.
    Candy Shutt.
    My heart started to pound. “Look out, dude,” I told Shark. “Here she comes. And no joke—she looks like she could murder someone.”

    Candy didn’t stop to kiss the brass plaque on the wall. She came roaring down the bar like a charging elephant.
    She was big and red-faced. Her jaw was clenched, and she had her hands balled into fists. She wore a pale blue top and a short black skirt, very tight, over dark blue tights. Her curly black hair bounced on her head as she trod up to us.
    â€œI’m out of here,” Jamie said, jumping to her feet. “I hate violence.”
    â€œMe too,” I said. I wanted to join Jamie, but I couldn’t scramble out of the booth fast enough.
    Jamie took one step and Candy bulled
