So I marched straight to the door of locker 389, wrenched it open and buried my arms up to my elbows inside.     “New girl, huh?”     The guy at locker 391 was movie-star handsome. His smile was pearly white, each tooth perfectly straight and even.

I saw the car parked in front of the blue house almost as soon as I turned onto Sutton Street.
