                  Just when I'm about to put a fry in my mouth, Kali comes out of nowhere and scares it out of my hand. It drops on the floor as I jump. “Kali!” I yell. “You always have to scare me at the wrong possible times,” I say as I look on the ground at the fry. “Poor french fry. I could have eaten you.”
                  “You're silly today, Nini,” Kali replies, as she welcomes herself to take a seat.
                  “No, just hungry,” I laugh. “What's going on with you today?”
                  “Nathan,” Kali rolls her eyes.
                  “Nathan Russe?” I ask. I remember him from Kali's party at the beginning of the school year. He tried to flirt with me, and it disgusted me because he was so drunk. “I thought you were with that quarterback guy?”
                  “Troy?” Kali scrunches up her nose. “No, I broke up with him. He was too clingy.”
                  “What's wrong with Nathan?” I laugh.
                  “What's so funny?” Kali asks.
                  I open my eyes wide. “Nothing,” I lie. I was laughing because the memory of Kali's party was going through my mind.
                  “Nathan is starting to be like Troy, way too clingy. It's driving me nuts!” Kali sighs and starts eating her salad. “Anyway, enough talk about Nathan. I think I've had enough of him.” I stare down at my food, as I shovel it into my mouth. “So, I didn't know Caroline was visiting?”
                  The french fry misses my mouth and lands on the floor. “What?”
                  “I caught a glimpse of her the other day,” Kali states. “I went to talk to her, but by the time I reached her, she was gone. It was strange.”
                  “Where did you see her? When?” I straighten my back and focus on Kali.
                  Kali looks at me strange. “I saw her by the mall yesterday.”
                  “She's not home,” I inform her.
                  “It looked exactly like her, but I guess it was my vision being crazy,” Kali continues to eat, as she brushes this subject off like it isn't important. If only she knew the truth.
                  Was it Caroline that she saw? Is she back?

    Andrew's Beamer is driving smoothly over the rocky dirt road that I'm driving on. I see his house in the distance, and I can't wait to walk through his front door and see his beautiful face staring back at me.
                  I park his car in the driveway and hurry inside the house. I run to his room so I can jump into his arms and feel safe.
                  “Andrew,” I say as I walk into his room.
                  I drop my water bottle on the ground and my jaw drops. Andrew. Ora. What is going on? Were his lips just touching hers? I look Ora up and down. Is she really standing there, next to my boyfriend, in her black, silk panties and bra?
                  “Nina!” Andrew shouts. “This isn't what it looks like.”
                  I raise my eyebrows. I want to scream. I want to choke her skinny neck. I want to slap Andrew's face. My voice won't work. My body won't move. What the hell is going on?
                  Andrew grabs my arms, and I stare at him with a confused face. “Nina, I promise you I had nothing to do with this. I didn't know she was going to try to seduce me. I tried to push her away, but she wouldn't listen to me. I tried, my love.”
                  “Shh,” is all I manage to spit out.
                  “What?” Andrew asks.
                  I stare at Ora and see the smirk on her face. I want to punch her. I want to cause her pain, but I can't because I'm not that type of person. Actually, I don't even know what type of
