Monday morning turns out to be just as crazy as I'd dreaded. The day gets off to a bad start and goes downhill from there. I get a ride to school with Zee and Alix like usual, but Alix is quiet all the way there. Zee must have told him what happened with Fable, and if not, he would have seen the crowds mobbing my house on the news or online. But he doesn't say a thing about it. I expected him to at least tease me. It's not like him to miss a chance to mock Fable. He's silent the whole way to school, while Zee chatters away nervously about the weather, soccer tryouts, the traffic – anything but Fable. Maybe Alix is just upset that I missed our band practice. I hope that's all. When Zee and I arrive at our lockers a few minutes before first bell, I find the words "GROUPIE s**t" scrawle
