Before I could think it through, my fingers crunched the picture into a ball. I crept down the crowded corridor in a fog of panic, furtive as a thief, until I found the custodians's wheeled garbage cart, where I dropped it. Then I went to the girl's room and washed my tingling hand. The image in my head - that one of the pale, pretty girl eating sour-cherry pancakes in my kitchen - went up in smoke. Over the weekend, I had turned that girl, Amandine, into a daydream of friendship and secrets. But the real Amandine was messed up, crazy. Bad.
