would probably go to sleep after a while, and unless someone purposely woke it up, he would be fine. He didn’t think Keegan really had it in her to be that nosy, and the twins couldn’t read that well yet.
    The good news was that Jane and his sisters would arrive at the pool in mere minutes for swim class. Surely he would know right off the bat whether Jane had found out his secret. Or, worse, whether Keegan had fulfilled his nightmarish prophecy of reading his search results. Wouldn’t he?
    When Jane came through the pool gate, she waved at him and didn’t seem particularly fussed, or like she had learned his secret that morning. At least he hadn’t been looking at porn, he told himself. But he found little comfort in that thought.
    The pit in his stomach grew.
    Teo watched Jane walk over to the covered seating after having made sure the girls joined the right groups. Rory was still in a state of distress because she was in a lower group than Piper and Keegan were, but she needed to learn that swimming wasn’t something to fool around with.
    Jane sat down next to a girl Teo knew from school but wasn’t really friends with. Claudia Lee, that’s her name , he thought. Teo tried to read Jane’s lips as she was talking to Claudia. Not that he expected her to gossip with Claudia Lee about his personal dad-searching business, even if she had snooped on his computer, but still, he didn’t really know Jane all that well.
    He couldn’t figure out how Jane knew Claudia. Jane ran in a crowd of dorky, less smart girls. She was like a band geek who wasn’t in the band. Unless maybe she was in the band. Teo honestly wasn’t sure. He couldn’t even remember the last time he had talked to Jane at school, or even really noticed her there. Maybe when they’d ended up sitting next to each other at the drunk-driving assembly the year before.
    He really didn’t want Ravi’s crazy anti-Jane propaganda to get to him. While he and Ravi were playing video games last night, Ravi wouldn’t shut up about how terrible Jane was.
    â€œI swear to God, she is the stupidest girl I’ve ever met,” Ravi had said out of nowhere.
    â€œWho now?” Teo had asked, mostly to annoy Ravi. He’d known exactly who Ravi had been talking about, but he sort of got tired of listening to the same old, same old from him. Sometimes he liked to mix it up and ask all the wrong questions.
    â€œJane Connelly. She’s dumb.”
    â€œHow do you figure?” Teo asked.
    â€œâ€˜Uh, really, Ravi,’” Ravi said in a voice that Teo assumed was supposed to be Jane’s. “‘I don’t get it. How do the ducks know where to cross?’”
    â€œShe never asked that.”
    â€œSure she did.”
    â€œIt was probably meant to be a joke, but you have no sense of humor whatsoever.”
    â€œI swear she asked it in driver’s ed last year.”
    â€œSo is this really how we’re celebrating the end of school?” Teo asked. “Sitting in my basement, bitching about Jane Connelly?”
    They had changed subjects after that, thank God, because Teo couldn’t handle much more of Ravi’s Jane-bashing.
    The thing was, there wasn’t anything wrong with Jane. And he actually had a newfound respect for her after this morning. Not only had she totally ignored how ridiculously embarrassing Buck was, but she’d also offered to clean up the mess in the basement. In his book, that made her a decent person.
    Maybe he should just talk to Jane, see if she acted like she knew his secret.
    The problem was that Claudia Lee was a friend of this other girl Megan. Teo had gone out with her a few times last year. They were in a lot of the same classes and were both on the forensics team. She was on the girls’ soccer team and he was on the boys’. It made sense for them to go out. But things had fizzled between them, and Megan had been
