be finished by morning.”
    Tania didn’t move.
    â€œHey, Tania, get up. Tania?” Sandy dropped to his knees beside her.
    â€œHey!” he cried. He turned to Eva, his face twisted in panic.
    â€œSomething’s really wrong with Tania! She isn’t moving!”

    â€œS he’s not moving!” Sandy cried frantically. “She won’t wake up!”
    Eva and Keith raced to Tania’s side. Before they reached her, Sandy grabbed her by the shoulders and tried to pull her into a sitting position.
    â€œTania, wake up!” he cried hoarsely. “Wake up!”
    Tania’s head flopped back as Sandy shook her.
    â€œStop it, Sandy!” Eva shouted. She dropped to the grass and cradled Tania’s head in her hands. “Let her back down! You’re going to hurt her.”
    â€œOh, wow!” Sandy quickly let go. As Tania fell back against Eva, she moaned softly and her eyelids fluttered.
    â€œLook, she’s coming around,” Keith murmured. “Hey, Tania. What happened? You okay?”
    â€œOf
course
she’s not okay! Are you nuts or something?” Sandy snapped angrily at Keith. “Don’t just stand there. Call for an ambulance!”
    â€œSandy, shut up!” Eva cried. “Tania just said something. You’re yelling so loud, you didn’t even hear her!”
    Sandy scowled, then bent over Tania. “What is it?” he asked. “What’s wrong, Tania?”
    â€œI said ‘no ambulance,’” Tania whispered. “I’d die of embarrassment. I don’t need a doctor. I need a candy bar.”
    â€œBut …”
    â€œIt’s just the blood sugar thing,” Tania choked out. “Too much excitement again, I guess.”
    Eva sighed with relief. “Anybody got some candy?” she asked.
    â€œYeah. I have a Hershey’s bar in my backpack,” Keith replied.
    â€œWell, get it!” Sandy snapped.
    Keith hurried to his pack, fished out the candy bar, and brought it back.
    Tania sat up and ate it quickly. “That’s better,” she announced, licking chocolate from her fingers. Then she started to get to her feet.
    â€œWhoa, not so fast!” Sandy told her. “Just sit here for a while. You’re still so pale, you know.”
    Tania laughed. “So are you, Sandy. Haven’t you ever seen anyone faint before?”
    â€œNot somebody I care about.” Sandy dropped next to her in the grass and slipped an arm around her shoulders. “You really gave me a scare. I don’tknow what I’d do if something really bad happened to you.”
    You’d run straight to Cherise for sympathy, Eva thought in disgust. And she’d give you plenty of it.
    â€œI’m fine,” Tania assured Sandy. “But thanks for being so worried.”
    Sandy smiled and pulled Tania closer to him.
    Eva felt like gagging.
    What a two-faced creep he is! she thought. Putting on this big dramatic act of caring about Tania. Acting as if she’s the most important person in the world to him.
    And all the time he’s sneaking around with somebody else.
    It’s like Keith’s video come true, she thought.
    There’s just one difference—Tania doesn’t know what a phony Sandy is. She doesn’t know about Cherise.
    I have to tell her, Eva decided, as she watched Sandy help Tania to her feet. Sandy has her fooled. She thinks he’s the greatest guy in the world.
    She should know the truth about him. And I have to tell her.
    â€œOkay!” Keith cried as Tania brushed blades of grass from her jeans. “Is everybody ready for another take?”
    â€œKeith, I can’t,” Tania declared, glancing at her watch. “I have to be in the auditorium in ten minutes. I have a rehearsal for the homecoming ceremony.”
    â€œThis won’t take long,” Keith insisted. “You’vegot the lines down cold. And the last take was
