can I call you Jeffrey at least? That is your whole name, right?â
âNo.â
âCan I call you that anyway?â
âNo.â I gotta get out of here . People were starting to seriously gawk.
âFine, weâll work on the name later. We have so much to do !â And then, I kid you not, she started bouncing up and down on her toes.
âStop!â No, really, for the love of all that is holy, stop . I held up both hands. âWho are you?â
Iâm not sure what made me askâa name to put on the restraining order, maybe?âbut she gestured to herself like she was a celebrity I should recognize instantly. Maybe she wasâthis was Santa Monica, after all. âKimberlee Schaffer? The Kimberlee Schaffer?â
I shrugged.
She sighed dramatically. âCome with me.â I followed her down a hallway and into the main foyer, where she backed up against a wall and gave me a cheesy, toothy grimaceâmore sarcasm than smile. She gestured grandly to her left at an eleven-by-fourteen framed picture of herself.
âSo . . . your parents paid for the school?â I asked. Maybe it was the only way theyâd let this psycho in.
She rolled her eyes and pointed a long, fake fingernail at a small bronze plaque beneath the portrait.
