teenagers.
Wow! She doesnât waste any time! Bobby thought happily.
Finally she slowed the car as they reached the top. She guided it past a couple of parked cars and pulled to a stop at the cliff edge beside a clump of tall shrubs.
Samantha cut the engine and the lights, then pulled her disheveled hair back with both hands. âWell, look where we are,â she whispered, staring out through the windshield.
âNice driving,â Bobby said with a grin.
âYou havenât been up here before, have you?â she teased.
âMaybe a few times,â he replied, leaning toward her.
âI think I like you,â she murmured.
As they kissed, he wrapped his arms around her shoulders. The kiss lasted a long time.
I donât
believe
these twins! Bobby thought. He remembered Breeâs kisses, so hungry, so
needy.
I canât
wait
to tell Arnie! Bobby thought as they stopped to catch their breath. Arnie will totally freak out!
He kissed her again. Bobby the Man will be the talk of Shadyside High on Monday! he told himself. No one will believe I made out with
both
Wade twins in one weekend!
What was it Samantha had said to him when they met at the mall? âYou have quite a reputation.â Yeah. Thatâs what she said.
Well, you ainât seen nothinâ yet! Bobby thought.
When word gets out about this weekendâthe all-Wadeweekend!âeveryone will know whoâs the coolest guy in school!
I am the king! Bobby thought, kissing her again.
The king of rock ânâ roll!
Samantha pulled back and stared at him, her eyes half shut. âI told you I like to go fast,â she whispered.
Bobby settled back in the passenger seat. This girl was just so
hot,
so
hot!
He wondered if it would be too late to call Arnie that night.
âWhat are you thinking about?â Samantha demanded dreamily.
âIâm just thinking how great you are,â Bobby lied.
Smooth. Very smooth, he congratulated himself.
She opened her eyes wide. âDo you like me better than Bree?â
The blunt question startled him. âYeah. Sure, I do.â
She smiled. The wind fluttered her hair. She settled back on the car seat and stared out the windshield.
Bobby followed her gaze. The black sky was dotted with a million tiny white stars. A hazy sliver of cloud cut the pale full moon in half.
âIâm a little different from my sister,â Samantha said softly, staring up at the sky.
âYeah,â Bobby agreed. Then he added, âBut you two
look
so much alike. You really do. How do people tell you apart?â
Samantha turned to him with a sly smile. âThereâs a way to tell us apart,â she said coyly.
âHow?â Bobby demanded.
She brought her face close to his and whispered in his ear, âWhen we get to know each other better, Iâll show you.â Her soft breath tickled his ear, made a chill run down the back of his neck.
Wow, he thought. Wow.
âI think Bree really likes you,â she told him, her smile fading.
âI think I like you better,â Bobby replied.
âYouâd better be careful,â she said, avoiding his eyes.
âHuh? What do you mean?â
âWell â¦â She hesitated. âBree is kind of fragile,â
âFragile?â
âYouâd better be careful not to hurt her,â Samantha warned, raising her eyes to Bobbyâs. âBree can be a littleâstrange when sheâs hurt.â
Bobby stared hard at Samantha. A cloud drifted over the moon, and her face darkened. âSamantha, what do you mean?â he asked.
âI really donât want to talk about it,â she told him. Her eyes narrowed. âJust be careful with Bree, Bobby. Be very careful.â

B obby slammed his locker shut and headed down the hall. The final bell had rung. The school was emptying quickly.
A riff from an old Chuck Berry song kept repeating in his
