to notice details. So, the obvious should come fairly easy.” Jennifer defended with freckles blending into the color of her reddening hot face.
    “ Obviously not. “Molly rolled her eyes and then darted them to the window.
    “ Ok.” Jennifer ignored the words-of-war and sat on the bed again, unconvinced.
    Tightening the lock on my window, I shut the burgundy curtain.
    “ Maybe we have all been staring at all this angel paraphernalia for far too long,” Jennifer suggested, as if that must be the only reason why Molly and I something. But that just made Molly angry. Her face turned tomato red just like Jennifer’s hair. Molly hated not being taken seriously. She had a hard enough time being accepted in high school because of her parent’s gypsy ways. I had never seen Molly so agitated and I had seen her heated quite a few times.
    “ So you are just going to give up? That’s it?” Molly flung her arms in the air and turned from Jennifer. “We get close to figuring something out and then you are too spooked to hang in there? I thought you were supposed to be the level headed girl in this town, Jen!”
    “ Chill out, Mol.” I tilted my head in her direction as she stood between the window and the bed. Then I plopped on the bed beside Jennifer. After all, Jennifer just wanted to shut up all this angel talk to get things back to normal. I couldn’t blame her. “Mol didn’t mean it.”
    “ Then how do you mean it? I want to know what happened too. I have more of a reason to know than any of you.” We all knew she referred to her crush. “More personal reasons than just some...some journalism assignment. But not if it is going to get us all out of hand.”
    “ Alright,” Molly took a deep breath. “I’m sorry for snapping, but can we please just get back to our assignment?” Molly said with a mixture of surprise and defense.
    “ OK.” Jennifer caved; she saw the desire to solve this in my eyes too.
    “ So, we know he checked out these angel books a month ago...” Molly brought us back on track.
    I interjected, “And he started acting odd about a month ago.”
    “ What do you mean by odd? Clarify.” Oh, God! Jen’s lawyer streak burst through.
    “ Skipping class regularly...without his football buddies.” I stated.
    Molly fixed the buttons on her pajamas as she added, “Spacing out in class. I have him third period... Had him third period.”
    “ And his nose was buried in his Kindle the past few weeks, even at lunch and in the hallway,” I remarked.
    Molly’s angry face softened as she saw Jennifer taking her more seriously. Joining us on the bed, Jennifer suggested, “It’s like everything changed for him a month ago.”
    “ Yeah, everything.” I dropped my gaze to the Angelology book. “Like his whole world turned on its axis.” Circling thoughts competed for space in my mind as my gaze jumped from the window to the books, from the Kindle to the notepad. Could it be? I shook my head.
    “ Maybe Clark found out,” Jennifer suggested and Molly wrinkled her forehead. “About Noe and Tommy. You’ve heard rumors about his temper too.”
    “ You really think Clark could push his nearly-best-friend off the roof of the school?” Molly considered the accusation for a minute and then it seemed she believed it could be so. She had seen worse on the streets of NY.
    “ How would they get up there anyway?” I interjected on deaf ears. They had lost themselves in scenarios of Clark and Tommy.
    “ Clark invites Tommy to the roof for some kind of football prank and then...” Molly felt a strange ease in this grotesque conversation. “ Splat.” She smacked her hands together.
    “ Do you have to be so melodramatic?” Jennifer’s dart-like gaze struck Molly. “Clark probably just lightly pushed him, maybe an accident or something?”
    “ Or his temper got the better of him,” Molly argued. She’d make a good lawyer, too. A different kind of lawyer than the one Jennifer would make. She
