perfect except for that plane.”
    â€œI know, but …”
    â€œBesides, I don’t have forever to do this video,” Keith pleaded. “It’s October. We’ve been lucky so far, but the weather could change any day.”
    â€œHey, give her a break,” Sandy told him. “She can’t stay. It’s not her fault.”
    Tania laughed. “Actually, it is. If only I hadn’t fainted.”
    As Keith ran a hand through his hair in frustration, Tania grabbed it and gave it a squeeze. “I’m sorry, Keith. I promise not to faint next time.”
    Blushing, Keith gave her a lopsided grin.
    Jeremy’s right, Eva realized. Keith has a major crush on Tania.
    Tania gave Keith’s hand another squeeze, then turned to Sandy and kissed him quickly on the cheek. “See you later.”
    As Tania ran down the hill toward the school, Eva grabbed her book bag and followed.
    Now’s my chance to tell her about Sandy, she thought to herself. I’ll just tell her and get it over with. It won’t be fun, but at least she’ll know the truth about him.
    I just hope she won’t be mad at

for telling her, Eva thought.
    Picking up her pace, she caught up to Tania as she was about to enter one of the side doors of the auditorium.
    â€œHey, Tania. Can I talk to you a minute?”
    â€œSure” Tania shoved open the door and they stepped inside. “What is it?”
    â€œI …”
    â€œWhoa, it’s pitch black in this place,” Tania interrupted as the heavy door clanged shut behind them. “I guess I’m the first one here. Where’s a light switch?”
    â€œI’m not sure.”
    Eva blinked, waiting for her eyes to adjust. They stood in one of the side aisles, next to the back row of seats. “I guess we could turn the stage lights on. But why don’t we sit down and talk?” she suggested, pointing to the seats.
    â€œSure, but let’s get some light in here.” Tania began walking down the carpeted aisle toward the stage. “What do you want to talk about?”
    Eva frowned, trying to decide how to start. Should I just blurt it out?
Guess what? Sandy’s fooling around with Cherise.
    â€œEva?” Tania’s voice came from farther down the aisle. “What is it?”
    â€œWell …” Eva slowly started toward the stage. This was harder than she thought.
    â€œIs everything okay?” Tania asked. Her sneakers squeaked as she began climbing the wooden steps leading up to the stage. “You seem awfully worried about something.”
    â€œI am, sort of,” Eva admitted.
    Eva climbed up behind Tania onto the darkened stage. Just tell her and get it over with, she thought.
    She took a deep breath.
    But before she could say anything, a shadow caught her eye.
    A moving shadow.
    Eva gasped as a figure rushed from the darkness.
    â€œI’m going to kill you, Tania!” a voice cried. “I’m going to kill you!”

    T ania screamed and jumped away.
    She collided with Eva. The two of them staggered backward, then crashed to the floor of the stage.
    In a panic, Eva rolled out from under Tania, then scrambled to her feet. As she reached down to pull Tania up, the stage lights burst on.
    Eva gasped and shaded her eyes, blinded by the bright overhead spotlights.
    â€œYou get everything you want—don’t you, Tania?” a voice demanded angrily.
    Eva lowered her hand, blinking in the light.
    Leslie stood a couple of feet away, glaring furiously at Tania.
    â€œLeslie?” Tania’s voice shook. “What … what’s …”
    â€œYeah, what’s going on?” Eva cried. “You scared us to death! What’s the matter with you, anyway?”
    â€œJust stay out of it, Eva,” Leslie snapped. “This is between me and Tania.”
    â€œWhat is?” Tania asked. “Leslie, what did I do?”
    â€œOh, sure,”
