Monday
âPlease, Miller,â I said from the back seat. I tried to hide my tears from him. Matt and Rob hadnât shown up to our entrepreneurship class. I hadnât seen any of the Untouchables the rest of the day. Even Isabella had left me all alone. Felix was ghosting me. And Kennedy hadnât shown up with a smile and her camera at my locker to walk me out of school. It was like the whole school was hushed. And being alone with my thoughts? I felt like I was being swallowed whole. I needed my best friend. I had to go see Kennedy. I needed to fix whatever was broken between us before I lost everything.
âSheâs not on the list,â Miller said.
âPlease.â My voice cracked.
He didnât respond. He just kept driving in the opposite direction of my old neighborhood. âOnly if you tell me whatâs wrong,â he said.
I lifted my face out of my hands. âIt doesnât matter.â Blabbing on Isabella the first time just made everything worse. I wouldnât be making the same mistake twice like I had at lunch. As far as I was concerned, around Mr. Pruitt and his staff, Isabellaâs name would never fall from my lips again.
âIt matters. Tell me and Iâll turn the car around.â
For the first time since James had lunged across the table at Matt, I felt a teensy bit of hope. Miller was going to let me see Kennedy. âThere was a fight at schoolâ¦â
âAre you okay? Did you get hurt?â
âNo. Nothing like that.â How could I say this without incriminating my devil sister? âEverything just blew up between some of my friends. Mattâ¦heâ¦lied.â I know he technically just hadnât told me the truth. But the truth was momentous enough that his omission felt even worse than a lie.
Miller kept driving in the wrong direction, so I figured he needed more than that.
âJames is upset with him. Theyâre all upset with each other. And I just need to talk to Kennedy.â
He still didnât turn around.
âI think sheâs upset about what happened at Felixâs this weekend. I havenât had a chance to clear the air with her.â
No response.
âAnd Felix is mad at me too. Iâm pretty sure you already knew that. Can you please, please just take me to Kennedyâs? Sheâs the only person still speaking to me and Iâm worried that sheâs going to pull the plug on our friendship too. And I donât know what Iâd do without her.â
Miller put on his blinker and I breathed a sigh of relief.
I didnât say anything else in fear that heâd change his mind. When we pulled up to the curb of my old apartment building, I practically flew out of the car.
I pressed the call button. âMrs. Alcaraz, itâs meâ¦â
The door buzzed before I even had a chance to explain why I was there. I didnât even realize that Miller was following me until I heard his heavy footsteps behind me on the rickety old stairs.
Mrs. Alcaraz was standing in her doorway, an apron around her waist and the smell of delicious food hanging in the air around her.
