You've never told me about your love life, Scarlett. You're a very pretty girl. You must have a boy shacked up somewhere for your personal delights. I'd bet it's a booky one, overtones of Harry Potter and a lot of black T-shirts.

The locker at the end of her bed had no lock, and one of the hinges was busted. She opened it up. There was a thing in it.
