through my hair, I noticed Fox smiling wickedly at me as he leaned back in his chair. I clenched my jaw and took my seat.
     
     
    When the bell rung, I snatched my bag and raced out of the room. For on ce, I was in a hurry to get to culinary.

    “Welcome, students,” Mr. Aurelle smiled, emphasizing the ‘s’ sounds as he spoke. “Let’s all pair up with our partners and get cooking. Today’s recipe… the devilish soufflé!”
     
     
    I assumed my position behind kitchenette number four, next to my partner, Lily.
     
     
    “I love this guy,” Lily smiled, shaking her head as a small smile appeared on her face.
     
     
    “ He makes my day; he’s probably the only one I tolerate in this school,” I admitted, tying my apron around my waist.
     
     
    “Good to know, partner,” Lily murmured.
     
     
    “Besides you, of course,” I joked.
     
     
    She shoved me lightly. “We better get started on this devilish soufflé , or your favorite person ever will be very disappointed in you.”
     
     
    “I can’t afford that right now ,” I sighed, scrunching my nose as I read my portion of the directions.
     
     
    Lily giggled. “You’re a funny one, girl.”
     
     
    I stared at her, and she continued laughing, getting flour in her light brown hair as she pushed the short strands out of her face.
     
     
    Lily’s not too bad .

    I took my sweet old time getting to the center. Seeing as I no longer needed anything from Fox and he annoyed the crap out of me, there was no reason for me to be there on time. Besides, my skinny jeans were a mess. We were out of bleach.
     
     
    They still had crayon on them, only on my left thigh, though. A mixture of primary colored squiggly lines intertwined down to my knee, and it was extremely visible. Part of me was angry that my favorite pair of pants was destroyed, but somehow, standing in front of my mom’s full-length mirror it suddenly looked… cool? Like it was done on purpose. The crayon was bright and pretty looking against the white of my jeans. For a two-year-old’s work, they were beautiful squiggly lines.
     
     
    I decided to wear the pants anyway, and maybe stop by a sto re on the way home. That was, if Millicent arrived on time to pick up Holly.
     
     
    Georgina had a serious talk with her about it, and then Millicent apologized with a moving speech that went something like ‘I know she can be a bit of a pain, but you didn’t have to stay with her.’ I almost socked that woman in her pretty face, to be honest. Her own child? A pain? Of course I had to stay with her. She was terrified of everyone else.
     
     
    I got to the center and was not surprised to find that Fox was nowhere in sight.
     
     
    Nina came up to me, looking flustered as ever. “Em dear, have you seen Fox?” she asked.
     
     
    “He was at school, but I’m not sure where he is now, no,” I told her, and she waved it off.
     
     
    “Well, that boy is in for it next time I see him. Anyway, I wanted to tell you, St. Vincent’s wants us to hold a blood drive. I want you to make flyers, and sprinkle them over the town. Maybe even let your high school know; some of the students and the teachers are old enough to donate.”
     
     
    I nodded. “I need a date, time, and location,” I told her, and memorized the information as she explained it.
     
     
    I waited around a little bit, helping Carlos sweep the floors, occasionally looking up at the swinging doors in search of Fox. But he never came, or at least he didn’t come before five. The only visitors we had were people who had brought in a box of cans or clothes, or those interested in taking a beneficial class.
     
     
    “Listen, Nina, I’m sorry to leave you without any assistance but I have to go to the daycare,” I told her, standing in the doorway of her office and giving her my most sincere, apologetic look.
     
     
    As bad as I felt for Nina, I was glad that Fox hadn’t showed
