I don’t care, do I? Well, that is, I didn’t used to care. Not until I got caught up in all this Boy Swap stuff. Hmm.

“Thanks, Delaney. Thanks for reminding me of me.”

Chapter 26: Sheer Poetry

It’s been two weeks since the Boy Swap Club died that early morning in the school gym. Cassie still hasn’t come back to school and people are speculating that she transferred to the town’s Catholic school. I would if I were her. Absolutely everyone here hates her. Word of the Boy Swap Club and our big fight spread throughout the school at lightning speed and you can guess whose side everyone took. Okay, if you can’t guess, I’ll tell you—they took my side!

I have to confess, though, I’m not completely unhappy that I joined the BSC. I mean, at first I thought Cassie really screwed up my life and stole my true love and all. But in a way she kind of helped me. Chris wasn’t the right guy for me and it might have taken me a lot longer to figure that out if it wasn’t for her. And I had thought that I wanted to be more popular, and I guess technically I am. But it doesn’t matter because I know now I’d be happy either way. I like my new friends and I love my super fantastic old friends. The ones who really pulled through for me when I needed them. And I also got something else. Something really wonderful that I totally wanted.

“Are you ready to start hanging these puppies up?” Carter interrupts my thoughts, waving a pile of yellow fliers in front of me.

I glance at the flier:

Want to meet new friends?

Share lots of laughs?

Drink lots of coffee?

Join POETRY CLUB!!

Co-founded by Brooke Thomas and Carter Jones, POETRY CLUB meets the first Monday of every month in the Bookends Bookstore Café @ 4 p.m. Bring your favorite poems to share!

“It’s perfect!” I stand on my tiptoes and give Carter a long kiss on the lips. Now this is definitely the kind of club I am more than happy to be a member of. And if no other members show up, you sure won’t find me crying into my latte. I will be happily listening to Carter’s beautiful voice read me poetry.
