She was confident she could get Gary back if she could talk with him. Of course, the other members of the Outdoors Club would be there too-including Suki Thomas, who had obviously joined just to be close to Gary. The overnight will be so romantic, she thought.

Gary would be there, and she would be able to apologize to him then. And whenever she ran into him in the halls at school, he passed right by without giving her a chance to say anything.ĭella was looking forward to the Outdoors Club overnight. But the prom had come and gone-and Gary was just gone! He hadn’t called her since their fight. She had angrily broken up with him three weeks ago, never dreaming that he would take her seriously, that they wouldn’t make up in time for the spring prom.

Della O’Connor tugged the combination lock, wondering why she could never get it to open on the first try.
