Leah was texting.
Leafgirl: hi soph
Softee36: hi lee. so wat r u gonna do about the BQ?
BQ was the shortened, text-version of Bitch Queen.
Leafgirl: idk. help me think of somthin
Softee36: k. first of all, is this about the sky thing or corbin?
Leah blushed. Thinking about Corbin made her do that more and more often nowadays.
Leah: ..both
Leah could imagine Sophie giggling. That girl loved a good secret.
Softee36: 4 Sky, just say she cheated
Leafgirl: but wat about brandon?
Softee36: tell him first of course, stupid.
Leafgirl: with whom?
Softee36: sterling. he likes her, doesn't he?
Leafgirl: but that's mean soph. srsly, itd be awful to do that. i like him.
Softee36: ooh. im telling corbin… or do u already have a nickname picked out? corby? keeby? c-bin?
Leah groaned. Sophie could be sooo annoying. And only when it concerns me, she added.
Leafgirl: ug. never mind…. and anyway, those are too ew
Leah and Sophie texted until one in the morning, when Skylar slipped into the girls' shared bedroom.
"Out for long?" Leah grinned at Sky's flushed face and the hickies that dotted her neck. She'd been with Brandon. Leah still couldn't decide if he was a good thing or a bad one.
"Oh, you know," Sky said breezily, "we were just hanging out. Like what you and Corbin do at the Park."
Crap. If Skylar knew about that…
"What do you mean?" Leah said gruffly.
"Hmm… I don't know..." Sky thoughtfully tapped her fingers on her brilliant red hair. "But I'm sure I'll forget really soon if you tell Mom and Dad I was home all last night." Grr. Blackmail. But what could Leah do?
"Fine," Leah grumbled. "I'll tell them. But…"
"But what?" Skylar was wary. She knew Leah's tricks.
"But you have to give me every detail, every tiny thing that happened while you were 'out'. No skipping things, no lying or skating over things."
Sky's face burned. Leah smiled to herself, and settled down. This would be a long night… or morning.
Leah's alarm shrieked at her to get up, get going, and get out. She obeyed wearily, but her mind was spinning, still devouring all the Skylar's… information. You could really do that with your tongue? She had to try some of that stuff out with Corbin. But her eagerness evaporated as soon as she stepped into the high school halls. In front of her was Corbin and Nikki, and they were kissing.
