“Do you think anyone’s seen it yet?” I whispered to Maddie, who was trying to close her locker. “Seen what?” “You know what.” Beside me, Brianna Evans twirled the combination to her locker, and Trent Eckhart tossed his baseball cap into the locker next to mine. I flicked my head toward the bathroom. “Oh, that.” Maddie pushed her locker again, but it wasn’t completely closing. I could see a binder sticking out of the bottom. “Here,” I shoved the binder in with the rest of her mess, then quickly kicked the door shut before an avalanche of books thundered out of the locker. “Thanks!” said Maddie. I shrugged. “No problem.” Out of the corner of my eye, I saw two health teachers, Mrs. Moriarity and Ms. Crenshaw, talking and glancing over at me. Mrs. Moriarity pointed at me, while Ms. Crenshaw craned forward. My heart began thumping. Did they know we wrote up the Hot List? I nudged Maddie with my shoulder. “They’re looking at us,” I said. Maddie smiled and spoke through closed teeth.
