“Did I look like a total idiot?” you ask her. “Don’t worry about it,” Heather says as you reach the top of the stairs. “You’ll have time to make it up to him!”
Go to Chapter 11.
Chapter 85
Zac pulls off his headphones and says, “What did you say?” thinking that you were talking to him.
“Nothing,” you say, then whisper to him, “The guy sitting next to me was about to hit you up for homework advice.”
Zac glances over, then smiles at you. “I hope you told him that I’m on vacation.”
You laugh. “Yeah, something like that.”
After a few more miles, the bus driver pulls over at a rest stop, where about half the kids climb off, and Heather comes back to see you. “Hey, how do you like it back here?” She smiles.
“How do you like sitting with Dan?” you ask her back with a wink.
She smiles, then looks over at Zac. “Hi,” she says. “Hey.” He nods to her, then turns to you and says, “I’ll be right back.” He scoots around you to get off the bus.
Once he’s gone, Heather whispers, “Sorry we stuck you back here with that new kid.”
“He’s actually really cool,” you tell her honestly.
“I don’t mind sitting with him.”
“Cool?” Heather gives you a skeptical look. “He’s two years younger than us.”
“He’s a year younger,” you start to explain just as Dan comes up behind Heather.
“I guess we should trade back seats now,” Dan says to you, then looks over at Heather with a very lovey-dovey look on his face. “It’s only fair, right?”
“Well…,” you start to say. It is fair—you’re halfway through the trip, so you should get to sit with your friend. But honestly you don’t mind sitting with Zac.
You want to move back and sit with Heather.
You decide to stay with Zac.

The life of an Inside Girl is anything but ordinary.
Find out what it’s like in this fun new series by J. Minter, the creator of The Insiders.
Flan Flood has always had her pick of the coolest parties and the cutest designer clothes. Her family is legendary in New York City, but she’s sick of her friends hanging around just to get closer to her hot older brother, Patch. So when Flan starts at a new high school, she decides to reinvent herself as a totally normal girl. The only problem is, Flan’s life isn’t exactly normal. What will happen when her two worlds collide?
“I wish I’d known Flan Flood in high school—and not just because she has a hot older brother with hot older friends (although that totally helps). Don’t let the name fool you—this is one girl you must get to know, now.”
—Lisi Harrison, author of The Clique
