I walk around to the end where Cindy and Veronica are waiting for Izzy. “Thanks.”
“Isabel, right?” Carter looks over at Izzy.
She looks at me then back at him. “Yeah.”
“I’m Carter.”
“Oh, I know.” She purses her lips together, fighting back a smile.
“Right.” He rubs the back of his neck, a little embarrassed. He still regrets letting all those rumors run wild.
“Hi.” Emma steps up waving at her. “I’m Emma.”
“Emma!” Jen runs up behind her and slams her uneaten pie into her face.
“Oh, my God! Jen!”
Jen’s in hysterics, while Emma looks like her head is going to explode.
“Come on. I’ll help you clean up in the bathroom,” Jen says through broken laughter. “We need to talk,” she says as she casts a glance at Franco, who smiles back.
I feel a little bad because Lucas is my friend and I know there’s some sort of history between him and Jen, but she really seems to like Franco. Emma and Jen disappear behind us as Greg hands out towels.
“So, you two gonna win the scavenger hunt tomorrow?” Carter asks. “Twenty extra votes to the winning couple.”
“We’ll see.” I look over at Izzy. “Hands might be required for that one.”
She smirks at the inside joke while Carter looks at me confused.
“Oh, I can work with my hands too.” She glances at me, before wiping a smudge of whipped cream from my chin, then licking it off her finger. Her eyes never leave mine. She takes a step closer and I let out an inadvertent cough, straightening my shoulders. “See you tomorrow.”
She wipes another smudge of whipped cream from the bottom of my cheek, only this time she taps me on the nose with it. She hasn’t flirted with me nearly as much as I have with her, but after the picture yesterday and now today, I don’t care. If I was keeping score, she’s definitely caught up.
Carter nudges my side. “Tell me again why you aren’t dressing up at prom to go with her?”
“Shut it.”
