Chapter 44
The next day I wake up because Rosa thought it would be a good idea to start vacuuming at eight in the morning.
She comes into my room just as I am doing my makeup and takes my rubbish bin.
"Rosa, wait!" I say and walk over to dig through the trash until I find the songs.
She shakes her head with a smile and lets me know that breakfast is ready.
I push the songs under my pillow and grab my bag before I head downstairs.
"So are you ready for the test today?" I ask Jason as we wait at a red light.
"What test?"
"The chemistry test? Wasn’t it today?"
"OH...yeah, sure. Thanks."
When I walk into school ten minutes later, there’s an unusual chatter going around the hallways, which is weird, because everyone’s usually grumpy and not saying anything before the first period.
"What’s going on?" I ask Jake, who’s whispering something with Sophia.
"There’s a new guy coming today."
