'Nå, TJ, er der så nogen, du godt kan lide?' spurgte Izzie. Jeg rystede på hovedet. 'Ikke rigtigt' 'Hvorfor bliver du så rød i hovedet?' spurgte Nesta. 'Nesta!' sagde Lucy. 'Hvad? Hvad er der?' 'Lad hende fortælle det selv,' sagde Izzie. Jeg besluttede at hoppe ud i det. 'Nå, men altså, så er der jo nok en dreng,' sagde jeg. 'Men han behandler mig bare mere som en af gutterne end som en pige.' Theresa Joanne (kælenavn: TJ) har et hårdt år. Først flytter hendes bedste ven; og så begynder klassekammeraten Wendy at mobbe hende. TJ har aldrig følt sig så ensom. Og så er der også problemet med drenge.

"Jeg aner ikke, hvad du snakker om. Hvad er det, du prøver at sige?" Kaylie kom med et af sine falske smil. "Åh, ikke noget, Lia. Kom nu, vi driller bare lidt. Slap af. Helt ærligt, du er bare... så nærtagende." Hun lagde en hånd på min skulder og gav mig et blidt puf. "Du skal ikke tage det hele så alvorligt." Og så svansede hun ellers ind til timen. Jeg var lige ved at græde. Og helt forvirret. Var jeg overfølsom? Tog jeg det hele for alvorligt? Det føltes, som om hun virkelig havde været ude efter mig, men hun havde været så smilende, at jeg ikke følte mig helt sikker.

"Det er noget af det bedste ved dig," sagde Simon. "Hvad er?" spurgte jeg. "Din indstilling til tingene. Du har bjerge af selvtillid. Det er så fedt." Det var nok bedst, han ikke fik at vide, hvad der foregik inden i mig. Jeg var ikke fuld af selvtillid. Af en eller anden grund fik Timiona hele tiden skovlen under mig. Underligt. For det passede jo, hvad Lucy havde sagt. Jeg gav hende lov til at få mig ned med nakken. Den selvsikre holdning, som Simon var så vild med... Rent skuespil.
