Ange101 (8:21 RM.): Good thing I just got out of the shower;)
She felt Thomas's eyes on her, and her face warmed.
"That's enough," she said slowly, exiting out of the conversation. "I don't need to read any more." She
pushed the laptop screen toward Thomas and looked away.
Thomas shifted. "Listen, Ariana," he began. "It's better for you to know now before you-"
Ariana laughed. "Could you be any more gullible? I don't need to read anymore because I'm Angel-zero-

Thomas's eyes were wide. "So you are a naughty girl."

When Thomas looked at her, the disgust and pity were clear in his eyes.

"It's his lacrosse stats. Big deal," she said, hovering the cursor over the scores tab.
"I wouldn't click that," Thomas said, scratching the back of his neck.
So, of course, Ariana had to click it. Instantly a new spreadsheet filled the screen, but it wasn't the
spreadsheet she was expecting. The left column was filled with girls' names. Some she recognized, and some
she didn't. The right column was filled with dates, the first in August of Daniel's freshman year, four years
before.
"I don't understand. What..."
