CHAPTER FOUR
    I WAS NEVER SO GRATEFUL TO SEE CORN DOGS. The loud murmurs in the cafeteria, coupled with the smell of processed meat, were doing a number on me. Economics was miserable. Calculus was worse. All I wanted to do was lay my head on the sticky table and rest my brain. These teachers were seriously impeding my thought process.
    “Where were you?” Kira asked, looking at me from across the table with concern. “I thought you’d been Kitten-napped or something.”
    “My day was totally blown,” I complained. “I got the tardy chair in economics.”
    “Tragic!” Leona said from the other end. “That woman should be stopped. I think Mrs. Foster is inflicting serious emotional damage on the student population with her attendance policies. I’m going to write a strongly worded letter to the school board.” She adjusted her glasses.
    That was Leona. She was a great asset to SOS. Smart, prompt, and sassy! Sure, sometimes she was a little judgmental (like the time she called Coach Taylor a dictator for making her take a fitness test), but she was a whiz at both computers and fashion accessories. In fact, if I hadn’t been so melancholy, I would have certainly found out where she’d gotten her headband. It was fab.
    “I like the letters you write,” Izzie announced, biting into her corn dog and nodding at Leona. “You have totally great verbiage.” Leona thanked her.
    Just then, a hand slid across my shoulders, and I looked up, startled. Aiden dropped down in the seat next to me, a bewildered expression on his face.
    “You look surprised to see me,” he said, taking his arm from around me. “Were you expecting someone else?” He grinned.
    “Nope. I’m just depressed.” And I was. It was like uneasiness had settled over my uniformed chest. I glanced around the filled cafeteria and wondered how many of the guys in here had been unfaithful in the last two years. Unfortunately, I knew the answer. And it wasn’t good.
    Aiden’s mouth dropped open. “That’s not like you. You’re like a little ball of sunshine. Always. And I mean always. What could you be sad about?” Aiden leaned over to kiss my shoulder, making my stomach flutter. “I’m here, aren’t I?”
    Indeed, he was here. I had no reason to be sad. After all, I wasn’t the one being cheated on. But Darren had been the third adulterer this week, and his indiscretion had totally messed with our lunchtime seating arrangements. I glanced at the empty seat between Kira and Izzie and sighed.
    Darren might not have been the first cheater, but he was the first one that we hadn’t discovered on our own —and that worried me. Because up until now, SOS had been foolproof.
    Why were all of these boys going horny? And why did I feel worried when my relationship was healthy?
    “We’re okay, aren’t we?” Aiden murmured into the sleeve of my shirt.
    My eyes snapped to his. He never asked questions like that! Aiden was pure confidence.
    “What? Why wouldn’t we be?” I asked, searching his face when he pulled back. His skin was smooth and tan as he widened his green
