because she captured Hannah to clear the path.”
    When he waved the flag, shouts of approval rose from the group. Alex didn’t even argue the point—and I’d bet anything she kind of wanted to—but I guessed she wanted me to have this moment with Seth even more than she wanted her share of the credit. I had the best friends ever.
    “Well, thanks.” I ducked my head, not really knowing what else to say.
    “Any trace of that meteor shower left tonight, Lauren?” Alex kicked me under the table.
    I think she kicked Julian too since he yelped a second before my kick came. Seth looked at us both strangely.
    Okay. So even best friends had their faults. Too bad I didn’t have a few more pieces of gum for her to keep that big mouth occupied.
    “Um. I’m not sure.”
    “Meteors, huh?” Julian grinned my way. “Is that what you guys were looking for the other night?”
    Vijay snorted a laugh and Alex about collapsed with giggles.
    Suddenly, we were right back in sixth grade. Could they be more childish?
    “Come on, Lauren.” Seth stood, his long legs unfurling from the picnic table bench. “Some people are just mad they can’t do the drop toe hold.”
    He glared at Vijay, who didn’t stop laughing long enough to notice.
    Heart beating fast, I slid out from the table too.
    When we had put a little space between us and our friends, Seth held his hand out to me.
    “Want me to walk you back to your cabin?”
    “That’s okay.” As much as I would really, really like that, I didn’t want him to get in trouble.
    I moved to take his hand, but just as I did, he dropped it. My gaze flew to his face, but he’d already turned. Had he not noticed that I’d reached for him? Did he think I’d rejected him?
    Panic set in.
    “I mean. I’d love to walk back to the cabins with you.” Love. Why did I sound like such a dork? I couldn’t think straight. “But the counselors are stricter every year about keeping the boys away from the girls’ area.”
    “You’re right.” He nodded, his eyes trained on the faint crescent moon riding low on the horizon. “So you think there’s really any meteor activity left?”
    I puzzled over our weird exchange and would have traded anything to go back to that moment in the woods when we understood each other perfectly. Because right now, I felt like I’d missed something. Like I’d hurt him somehow and didn’t know how to fix it.
    “Seth.” I didn’t follow him. I needed him to look at me so maybe we could find that connection again. So maybe I’d know what he was thinking.
    He looked at me, but he was several yards back up the path and it was too dark for me to figure out his expression.
    “Seth! Lauren!” Bam-Bam’s voice echoed in the gloom. “Time to head back!”
    “Looks like we wouldn’t have gotten too far anyhow.” Seth walked toward me and my breath caught, both from the sight of his shoulders rolling with his lazy gait and from his words.
    We wouldn’t have gotten too far .
    I wondered how far that might have been.
    If only he’d reach out his hand again. Touch me. I hoped for it so much that I realized I was still holding my breath.
    “Come on.” He tugged my ponytail gently as he strode past. “I want to stop by our table to make sure you get to keep that flag. You earned it, Bat Girl.”
     My scalp tingled from that hair pull and happiness skipped over my skin.
    “Bat Girl?” I hurried to catch up with him. “I didn’t have any tools besides my wits. If I’d had a Bat-a-rang, I would have knocked Buster’s arm down before he could have clothes-lined you.”
    “You wouldn’t have used a Bat Taser?” He lightly poked my shoulder and shuddered like he’d zapped himself.
     “I wanted to win, not knock Buster senseless.” I gave him a small shove, glad to be walking beside him. To see him smiling out of the corner of my eye. “Now, if I’d had a Bat lasso, I would have just snagged the flag with that and saved us all a lot of
