rabbit. It irked her that the punk took such great delight in tormenting her. She was relieved to see Edward standing at the locker.
    “Hey, beautiful.”
    “Hey.” A feeling of warmth settled over her. After the fiasco with Rush, it felt good to be appreciated for once.
    He gave her a tentative look. “So, are we on for tonight?”
    “Tonight?” She searched her brain, trying to remember what he was talking about. “Um, what’s going on tonight?”
    He retrieved her English book and handed it to her. “I have a surprise for you.”
    “Really?”
    He flashed a mysterious smile. “Really.”
    “But I have to work.”
    “I know. I’ll pick you up at The Chocolate Fountain at 8:30.” He caught her arm. “We need this, Elle,” he finished gently.
    Edward was such a good guy and so thoughtful. To think, she’d intended to choose Rush over him. If Edward knew, he would be so furious he would probably never speak to her again. She looked up into those golden eyes that held a wealth of possibility. There was a hopeful expression on his handsome face as he waited for her to make up her mind. Why was she even wasting her time on Rush when Edward was right here, trying his best to win her back? “Okay, you talked me into it.”
    “That’s great.” He leaned in and gave her a kiss on the cheek. When she went still, he looked disappointed for a split second, but then he shrugged it off with a smile. He grabbed his English book and closed the locker. “Let’s get to class.”
    When they stepped into the classroom, Edward glanced in the direction of the area where Elle and Rush sat. “You know, you can sit in the back with me.”
    Elle glanced in the back of the room to where Huntsden and some of the other football players were sitting. “No!” she blurted and then saw his confused expression. “Thanks,” she added, trying to soften the blow, “but I can concentrate more where I am. I’ll see you tonight.” Before he could argue, she quickly walked to her normal seat and sat down. Thankfully, Rush wasn’t there yet.
    Edward hesitated and then walked to the back and took his seat.
    A minute later, Lynessa sauntered into the room. Elle was surprised when she walked past her normal seat in the front to where Elle was. She stood beside Elle’s desk.
    Elle arched an eyebrow. “Is there something that you need?”
    A crafty smile curved Lynessa’s lips. “Under the circumstances, I was thinking that you might want to switch seats with me.”
    Elle’s blood began to boil. She leveled a death glare at Lynessa. “Oh, and exactly what circumstance are you referring to?”
    “You know, the circumstance where Rush and I are dating.” Triumph glittered in her dark eyes.
    It took every ounce of control she could muster to stop herself from jumping up and clawing that smug expression off Lynessa’s perfect face.
    The moron sitting across from her put his hands to his mouth like a megaphone and began hooting. “Catfight!”
    “Shut up, you bumbling buffoon!” Lynessa snapped.
    For once in his life, the moron was speechless.
    Lynessa turned back to Elle. “Well?”
    There was so much she could’ve said to this demon diva who thought the clouds were supposed to part at her feet, but it wasn’t worth her breath. She had the hysterical urge to laugh. Instead, she collected her things. “You know what? If you want the seat, you can have it.” She stood, facing Lynessa. “You and Rush deserve each other!”
    “Thank you,” Lynessa said with a satisfied smile.
    Elle was stomping to the front to sit in Lynessa’s former seat when Rush entered the room. A look of surprise flickered over his face when he saw Lynessa sitting in the desk in front of his. He gave Elle a questioning look, and she scowled.
    Five minutes later, Elle was still steaming when Mrs. Porter walked into the room. “Good morning, class. Sorry I’m a few minutes late.” She sat down in her desk and then picked up the roster to call roll. When
