her
scent were nearly choking him.
    “ Aidan—”
    He snapped around, threw his deo stick into
his sports bag, threw the locker door shut, and slammed his palm
against it, making her jump a little. Silent tension filled the
sizable locker room before he took a deep breath, and bent his
head. 
    “ Go, Dionne. There’s no reason for you
to be here. I’m through talking.” 
    Then she remembered why she was there in the
first place. The surprise party.
    “ I-I was thinking,” she began with an
uneasy smile, “since Helmut has to be in Loma Linda Hospital for
his internship this evening, you might want to come with me to
Black Angus. You know? To celebrate your fourth championship win in
a row for Arcadia High,” she said, but he didn’t respond. “Unless,
of course, you have more interesting things to do this
evening—” 
    “— A aaaaaay d aaaaaan ! Where are you, Baby?” a purring, female
voice called out, echoing through the locker room.
    He raised his head and looked over his
shoulder at a shocked Dionne. He arched a meaningful brow before he
said, “It appears I do.” Then he pushed back from the locker just
when a svelte, sexy blonde appeared on the other side of the same
row of lockers as Dionne.
    It was obvious she hadn’t seen her yet,
Dionne noticed. Then again, with Aidan in the room, that happened
all the time.
    “ Hey there, Champ,” the blonde purred
as she leaned sensuously against the lockers before turning to face
him as he turned to face her with a wolfish grin. “I was hoping you
hadn’t showered, yet. I was sooo looking forward to washing your,”
she let her gaze roam down to the front of his hips, “back,” she
cooed. Then she untied her long, blue raincoat, and opened the
folds to reveal her absolutely, unequivocally naked body
underneath.
    “ Hey, Candace,” he said. “I don’t know
if you’ve ever met Dionne?”
    “ What?” she asked, a little alarmed.
Then she shot big blue eyes to the brunette down the row of
lockers. She looked positively uncomfortable.
    At the same time, Dionne snapped out of her
stunned state of mind, feeling hurt, angry, and embarrassed all at
once! How dare he put her on the spot like that! And in front of a
girl she’d always felt most uncomfortable with, a typical Arcadian
beauty.
    Candace had perfectly tanned skin, a
lean body cultivate through hours of aerobics, and her long, luxurious, tumbling locks were as
blonde as any hairdresser could get them—and she was there for her
brother for very obvious
reasons.
    Dionne couldn’t have felt any uglier, or any
more unwanted, than she did at that moment.
    “ Oh!” Candace cried, snatching her
raincoat over her naked body as her powdered cheeks flushed with
embarrassment. Much like Dionne’s. “I-I didn’t know your sister was
here. Hey, Deanne! I’m Candace,” the girl said as she hurriedly
walked to her to offer her hand, but Dionne was so flustered, so
embarrassed, and so distraught that she quickly snapped around, and
on those brand-new, tight brown pumps, RAN.
    “ Dionne!” she heard Aidan call, but
she wasn’t planning on sticking around.
    She ran as fast as her feet could take
her, surprised she had that kind of speed! She tore out of the
locker room and into the late afternoon California sun, briefly
blinded by it. But there was no way she was going to let anything
slow her down. She barely registered Shawn coming up to the doors,
greeting her as she ran like the wind, and she
wouldn’t— couldn’t stop until
she made it into the nearly empty school parking lot, and her
maroon Prelude.
    She fumbled for her keys in her skirt
pocket, and saw how hard her fingers shook.
    “ Dionne!”
    “ Christ!” she whimpered, hearing her
younger brother calling her, but it affected her more than she at
first thought when she dropped her keys. She quickly shot down,
snatched them up, and tried to hurriedly unlock the
door.
    “ Dionne!”
    He was coming closer.
    “ Go away!” she cried,
