just crazy. I wonder what happened after we left? Maybe we can call Malcom this afternoon if he doesn’t come to school.”
     
    “Try and keep your voice down,” Tammy gave a little chuckle, and I rolled my eyes slower than molasses.
     
    “Here’s the thing, though,” her voice now little more than a whisper. “You could hear it, couldn’t you? Couldn’t you?” She paused. “Us, we could barely even make it out on the recording but not you. You heard it when it was happening.”
     
    “A lot was going on,” I shrugged. “You and Malcom were probably just preoccupied with it all and just missed it.”
     
    “Hmmm. I guess that’s possible, but I don’t think so. You sounded, ah, pretty flustered on the recording to barely have heard something.”
     
    “Whatever you say.”
     
    “Well, aren’t you going to tell me what it sounded like?”
     
    I don’t know why, but I could feel myself starting to get angry at Tammy’s prodding. I anxiously bobbed my legs back and forth and pressed my lips together, holding in the profanity that threatened to spill forth from my mouth at any second.
     
    “Hey, Krystal,” Tammy’s voice soft. “You don’t need to get mad. I was just curious. I wish I had been able to hear it too, and I’m kinda bummed I didn’t.”
     
    “A little girl,” I breathed. “I could hear a little girl. And it sounded like she was having the time of her life.”
     
    Tammy thought it over. “I wonder why you could hear her, and we couldn’t.”
     
    “Your guess is as good as mine.” I wanted to shout Halleluiah to the heavens when we finally got to school. I tried to hurry off so I could get some much needed space, but Tammy finally caught up with me.
     
    “What’s up with the attitude anyway?”
     
    “I guess I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.”
     
    “Well…..   I know what will cheer you up.” Tammy wiggled her eyebrows up and down a few times. “I happen to know that someone’s birthday is coming up soon.”
     
    “Oh, God, please stop it. You are so corny sometimes.”
     
    She laughed, and a few of the boys in the hallway glanced her way. I held back the urge to roll my eyes when she started fluffing her hair.
     
    “Girl, with that bed head you got going on, might as well just give it up,” I snorted. We stopped in front of my locker. “Well, see ya at lunch.”
     
    “Alrighty, but the conversation about your Birthday isn’t over yet, Kris.” Pure glee was written all over her face.
     
    I groaned as I started tossing books in my locker. Just great. At least I had a few hours to plan how I was going to get out of whatever Tammy was cooking up.
     
    I was on my way to my Algebra II class when I ran into a tired looking Malcom in the hallway. I knew there was only a minute left if I was lucky before the bell was going to ring, but I figured I’d take my chances. There’s worse things in the world than being tardy.
     
    “Hey, where ya been?” I asked.
     
    “Things ran on late last night, so mom let me sleep in a while. She brought me in after first period.”
     
    “So, how, did, er, things go?” I didn’t even know what the preacher was going to do last night. An exorcism? Tammy’s mom had pickup up Tammy and myself before the preacher had arrived.
     
    “Good, I guess. We just have to wait and see.” The bell rang, and I swore under my breath. I gave Malcom a quick hug anyway. At least he had a slip from the front office, he wouldn’t get in any trouble for being late, but I could. So I slipped into my class quietly as I was able. At least Mr. T wasn’t in the room yet, and I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding.
     
    “Girls like you disgust me.”
     
    I looked up in surprise at the boy sitting across the aisle from me. What was his name, again? Oh, yes, Jacob Brown, vice president of the Future Farmers of America. I looked into his hate filled eyes, my own filled with confusion. What the hell did I do
