your name … it’s Molly, right?” Cory asked sheepishly. Both of our mouth’s dropped. Molly was appalled that he didn’t remember her name. I, on the other hand was shocked. Although, I had to admit it was kind of funny. I had to force my lips together to keep from laughing.
    “Yessss! It’s Molly,” she hissed with her hands on her hips, glaring at him. Her cotton candy pink lips were curled back into a snarl. Cory stood up, so that they were face to face. He didn’t have to bend his neck as much to look at her like he did with me, Miss Shorty.
    Cory didn’t notice or seemed too bothered by the fact that she looked as if she was ready to punch him in the face. And I think that pissed her off even more. She tilted her head to glance past Cory, but I quickly turned my head and looked out the small glass window in the door. My mind was racing as quickly as my heart as I waited to hear what Cory was going to say to her.
    If she ever found out that he kissed me ... Oh my God! Our kiss! Please don’t tell her about our kiss. Please, or we’ll both be chopped liver. My heart thumped wildly within my chest as I tried to shift my weight onto both feet. My good leg was starting to go numb. I gasped when my knee nearly gave out from under me. I quickly grabbed hold of the door for support. Cory turned to look at me, giving me another worried look. Then he turned back to face Molly. I could have sworn that I saw smoke rolling from her ears. She was livid. I could see that she didn’t like Cory looking at me or giving me any kind of attention at all.
    “Listen, your sister needs to go to the hospital. I think she may have fractured her knee cap.” He was genuinely concerned as he bent down and gently touched my knee again. I flinched. Not because of the pain, but from the wave of heat that rushed through my body as he kept his hand on my knee. My face was on fire. I was afraid to look at Molly for fear that she would suspect something.
    “Ohhh!” Her mouth formed a perfect ‘O’ when she spoke. “Well, then, I guess I should take her to the hospital,” she said with as much enthusiasm as I felt about going to the Zumba class. I shook my head in disbelief. Molly walked over to me and gently put her arm around my shoulder, doting on me like she was a loving, caring sister. But I knew better. It was all just an act to impress Cory. Yep, my twin sister Molly … she deserves the Sister of the Year award, I thought sarcastically. Someone, give that girl a medal or better yet a big, fat double chocolate chip cookie so that she would gain back the ‘ten’ pounds that she lost. I looked into Cory’s curious eyes and flushed when I saw that he was staring back at me. A tiny smile started to curl in one corner of his mouth when he saw my cheeks turning red.
    “I can take her ... ” Cory volunteered, but Molly quickly interrupted him.
    “ NO! I mean…we can both take her, can’t we?” she asked Cory in her sweet, innocent voice as she leaned toward him. I shot a quick glance at Molly. She kept glancing back and forth between the two of us and then at Cory’s hand that was still resting on my knee. I quickly snapped my leg away from Cory’s hand as he chuckled lightly.
    “Sure we can both take her to the hospital. Just give me a few minu tes to gather up my things. I’ll meet the two of you in the parking lot. We can take my Mustang,” he said, smiling at me. I swallowed the hard lump in my throat as Molly and I both watched him walk back toward the stage. I couldn’t be certain, but I could have sworn that he jiggled his ass as Molly and I watched him walk away.
    The two of us walked or in my case, limped through the side exit door of the school and out to the parking lot. I felt Molly’s eyes watch ing me as I quickly spotted Cory’s Mustang parked at the far end of the parking lot.
    Half way through the parking lot, my knee began to throb. “Wait a minute,” I groaned, bending over to rub my knee. I could
