“Until then, though, fill me in. What’s up with that geek you used to hang with back when we were texting. Samuel, was it? And how about Daniel?”

“Daniel’s gone. He ran away.” I shrugged, as if he were old news. “But Samuel’s my new BFF.”

“You have a guy for a BFF? Isn’t that weird?”

“A little. But you’ll have to meet him. Then you’ll understand.”

“Can’t wait.”

I teased her. “Maybe I should keep him away. After all, you did already poach Brent.”

Maddie leaned forward, nearly painting my nose with red nail polish. “I thought this Samuel guy was just a friend.”

“He is. He is. Don’t go getting your panties in a twist.”

She grinned and capped the polish. “I’ll see about that. Now I
have
to meet him. If a geek can catch your eye, you’ve really changed.”

I thought about Samuel, and Daniel, and Angelo. And then I thought about all the things To-Do already had scheduled in his little Troll body for me to accomplish. Turning Samuel into boyfriend material would probably qualify as the easiest on the list. “I didn’t say he’s caught my eye.” Exactly. “But you know what the biggest thing living in Salem has taught me?”

“Never count out the geek?” Maddie teased.

I looked around at my room, the room I thought I’d never ever think of as home. “Things change. Sometimes when you least expect it. And almost never the way you were planning for.”
