“Oh.” Walker said. “I wish… I wish—”
“Leave her alone.” It was Trevor. I crashed back to earth, opened my eyes.
“I’m not doing anything.” Walker jumped to his feet.
“Then why is she crying?”
I didn’t know I had been. “I’m crying for my friend!”
“I heard about Luisa,” Trevor said. “Everybody’s talking about her. I’ll help you find her.”
“You will?”
“We can drive around. We’ll find her. Come on.”
“Right now?”
He nodded and just like the day before I was ready to skip school and go with him. His mischievous smile, his smooth skin, his shiny eyes made me want to go, do, try new things. He shook back his shaggy hair. “Right now,” he said.
“Don’t go anywhere with him.”
“It’s none of your business,” I said to Walker.
“None of your business,” Trevor repeated.
Walker’s angry words came out in a growl. “You don’t care about her. This is about you and what you want.”
“She knows how I feel.” Trevor stood in front of me. “Don’t you, October? You know how I feel about you.” He looked into my eyes and cupped my face with his large hands. His touch didn’t make me go warm and relaxed. Instead, my palms began to sweat. My heart began to race. And then the itch returned. My arm, my neck, between my shoulder blades. I put my hand on Trevor’s arm. It was like a rock. But I had to scratch. It wasn’t attractive, but I had to. I stepped away from both of them and my head cleared although the itch continued. I scratched. I had to.
“See what you did?” Walker said.
Trevor just grinned. “I see what’s happening to her. What’s about to happen.” He turned to me. “October. Let’s go.”
It was more a command than an invitation and that didn’t make me happy.
Walker frowned. “Please stay with me.”
That was nicer and he was sweet, but so weird and half the time I couldn’t understand what he was talking about. At least Trevor was my age. I’d never had any guy seriously interested in me. Now it seemed I had two. I looked from one to the other. Trevor’s face was broad, his hands large, and his fingernails were not exactly clean, but his eyes were like a puppy’s and his olive skin was perfect. Walker was so handsome, almost too handsome—he made me feel inadequate—and, as I’ve said before, he felt familiar in some way. The morning bell rang and everyone began to file into school. I had to go. Walker put his hand on my shoulder. I gave a little jolt as I felt myself flow into him. I can’t explain it any other way, but it was as if my blood was a river rushing toward him, impossible to stop or slow down.
“Let go of her,” Trevor said.
“Make me,” Walker challenged.
“You may be something special in your world—”
Trevor launched himself at Walker, grabbing him around the waist. Walker fell back against the bench. Trevor punched him hard. Walker brought his knee up between Trevor’s legs. Trevor yelled. Someone across the quad yelled, “Fight! Fight!” I was livid. I hated both of them at that minute. Maybe I should have been thrilled or flattered that two guys were fighting over me, but they just looked like a couple of stupid idiots.
“Stop it!” I said. “Stop it right now!”
