I made a beeline to Robbie and sat next to him. “We on for tonight?”

He smiled. “Of course we are.”

“What did Amy say?” I asked. There have been no repercussions about me asking Robbie to the dance. None at all.

“Listen,” he said. “I asked you. I didn’t ask Amy and didn’t consult with her. I will pick you up at seven.”

“I got a really spooky costume,” I said.

“I am going as Tony Romo,” he said.

“He is a football player, isn’t he?” I asked.

Robbie nodded.

“I thought you would go as a scientist or something. You know, from our conversations over the last couple days.” I wondered if his being smart was just a ploy.
