to put some lipstick on your wound,’ Luke suggested. ‘Since it has all those healing properties.’ Belinda laughed – as if she even knew what he was talking about.
    ‘Mal took care of it for me,’ Eve said.
    ‘Let me get that,’ Kyle said. He picked up the dustpan, then turned to Luke. ‘We’re going to need to work with you and Belinda. We have no equipment left.’
    Oh, God! I can’t deal with watching the Luke andBelinda lovefest all period. Especially with that inane giggling , Eve thought.
    ‘Eve’s working with me today. My lab partner’s out,’ Mal announced. He looked at Eve. ‘If that’s OK with you,’ he added in his husky voice. How much did she love that voice? So much.
    ‘ Definitely OK,’ Eve told him.
    ‘So you got to be lab partners with Mal. That part is cool,’ Jess said that afternoon after school. She unlocked her back door and ushered Eve into the utility room. The Merediths only used the front entrance for guests during dinner parties. Eve could barely remember the last time she’d set foot inside her best friend’s formal living room.
    ‘You should have heard stupid Luke, though. It was like he was auditioning for Comedy Central,’ Eve complained. ‘Even when I wasn’t at his table any more, he kept making fun of me, and Belinda kept laughing. I still can’t believe I have to do my history report with him.’
    ‘Focus on the positive, remember? Partners with Mal. We’re not going to talk about the negative any more. We’re going to watch the Gossip Girl where Chuck says “I love you”, and we’re going to watch itmore than once, while eating gourmet chocolate chips with whipped cream on top, and while not thinking about anything annoying.’ Jess had invited Eve over to help her forget about the horror of being partnered with Luke for the history project.
    ‘There’s no whipped cream left,’ Jess’s brother, Peter, called from the kitchen.
    ‘There has to be. I just convinced Mom to buy it yesterday,’ Jess protested. She dashed into the kitchen, Eve on her heels.
    Peter stood in front of the huge Sub-Zero refrigerator, squirting whipped cream into his mouth straight from the can.
    ‘Oh my God. That is disgusting,’ Jess said, rolling her eyes. ‘Sometimes I can’t believe you are only a year younger than me.’
    Eve just laughed. She kind of enjoyed Peter’s disgusting side. Jess said that was because she didn’t have to live with him.
    ‘It’s delicious,’ Peter mumbled through the white foam. The can started making an airy stuttering sound.
    ‘You really ate it all. Piglet.’ Jess went to what her family called the snack cupboard, which was actually a full-sized butler’s pantry, and stared inside at the yummy contents. ‘He didn’t finish off the cookies atleast,’ she told Eve, grabbing the bag of Mollie’s Market soft chocolate-chunk cookies. Mollie had a tiny store on Main Street, and it was enough to perfume the whole shopping district with delicious cookie smells all day on Mondays and Thursdays, which were her baking days.
    ‘Thank God. I can’t de-stress without chocolate,’ Eve said, taking the bag.
    ‘You thirsty?’ Jess asked as she swung open the fridge door.
    ‘So who’s this stupid Luke?’ Peter cut in, wiping his whipped-creamy mouth on his forearm. He smirked at Eve. ‘Was he torturing you, poor little Evie-weevie?’
    Suddenly Eve’s fingers started to sting. All of them, not just the one she’d cut in lab. The refrigerator light flickered, then went out.
    ‘Weird. This fridge is only three months old,’ said Jess. She squinted into the dark interior. ‘Jones cherry soda?’
    She didn’t wait for Eve to answer. Jess knew Eve’s favourite stuff as well as she knew her own.
    Eve carefully got two glasses down from the cabinet. She gently, very gently, set them on the counter. Jess shot her a what’s with that? look and filled the glasses.
    ‘You carry them,’ Eve told her. ‘I can’t be
