AFTER ONE LONG, DAZED BIKE ride home I sneaked past the family room, where I could hear everyone hanging out, and called Aiden from my room. “I saw my grandpa,” I said. “The first time in five years.” “That’s pretty cool.” “Yeah.” “So did you find Kristina?” “No.” “Oh,” he said. A silent moment passed. “J texted me while you were doing your stuff.” “What did she say?” “She asked if she could borrow my speech notes tomorrow, she thinks she might have missed something.” I blinked. “That’s all she said? I thought you were going to tell me something good about the dance.” “Oh. No.” “It’s been two days,” I said. “You need to figure something out.” “I’m no good at this stuff, Baylor,” he said. “You’ve got to help me out, man.” “How? Tell me what to do, and I’ll do it.” “Ask Cassie out. You’re better looking than me.” “Tell me to do anything else, and I’ll do it.” “Baylor, dude, come on!” he pleaded.
