As they stepped out to the covered walkway, Taryn saw Gabe, that hot guy from math class, about to walk by them. This day just kept getting better and better.
“Gabe, hey,” Taryn couldn’t help but say as he passed by. Her stomach fluttered a little when he stopped to talk. “Ellie, this is Gabe. He’s new here, too.” She turned to Ellie. All the color had drained from her face.
“We know each other,” Gabe said, his tone unreadable. Taryn instantly got the feeling she was missing something. The air between the three of them was suddenly suffocating.
Ellie turned to Taryn, blatantly ignoring Gabe. “So do you want me to show you where your Spanish class is?” she asked, her voice no longer carrying the light tone it had just a minute ago.
“I can show her. I’m actually headed that way,” Gabe jumped in.
Ellie gave him an icy glare, then turned back to Taryn. “He’s probably lying. You shouldn’t trust anything he says.”
“Maybe Taryn doesn’t jump to conclusions so easily.”
“Or maybe she doesn’t want to walk to Spanish with you and then regret it for the next two years.”

About the Author
Jennifer Iacopelli was born in New York and has no plans to leave...ever. Growing up, she read everything she could get her hands on, but her favorite authors were Laura Ingalls Wilder, L.M. Montgomery and Frances Hodgson Burnett all of whom wrote about kick-ass girls before it was cool for girls to be kick-ass. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Adolescence Education and English Literature quickly followed by a Master’s in Library Science, which lets her frolic all day with her books and computers, leaving plenty of time in the evenings to write and yell at the Yankees, Giants and her favorite tennis players through the TV.
