Bab 32: Chapter 32: Feminine Wiles

AFTER I CALMED RUTHIE down, I explained that although I didn't trust Zander, he was the best shot I had at finding out what really happened to my mom. That meant I had to keep hanging out with him. I just needed to come up with a plan to trick him into divulging all of his secrets. She didn't like it, but since she didn't have a better idea, she shrugged and we finally headed over to my house.

"I know we were all about getting you a guy this year, Tru, and I know Zander is way good-looking, but maybe you should focus on one guy at a time, someone normal, someone who isn't lying to you and pretending to be your friend." She tapped her long fingernails against the steering wheel with false patience before gesturing madly into the air. "Oh yeah, like your Homecoming date!" She oozed disappointment as she sunk down into her seat.
