专题简介
Kim Stratford has her eye on two different guys—but that's not her real problem. She's actually an undercover cop trying to bust a high school drug ring. Will she give her impetuous heart to the dealer she's supposed to catch? Or will she pick the right guy—and risk losing him when he finds out she's a narc?

The following week Jon drove me in his Jeep to the airport. My mother had been called to Hartford to meet with the D.A. about the Hereford case, so we’d said our farewells that morning. I have to say, I was actually kind of glad she wasn’t going to be 【详细】
A few days later, the whole Hereford experience seemed like a bad dream. Danielle, Tag, Monroe and Smoot all had been bailed out and were awaiting trial. I was flying back to Stanford in less than a week and would be able to put the whole thing behind me. 【详细】
The following afternoon I went to visit Danielle in her cell at my mother’s police station. I had this prepossessing need to get her to explain to me what had happened—what had made her do what she’d done. I was nervous to speak to her, not knowing 【详细】
accelerated · sped up adept · skilled adversary · opponent or enemy aerial · from above alleged · supposed but unproven amiable · likable or friendly anathema · something that is hated aperture · hole or opening approbation · admiration archetypa 【详细】
The first thing I noticed was that my mother did not, in fact, have the place surrounded quite yet. There was no one out back and Danielle was running along a plowed pathway that seemed to lead back toward the school. I could feel the adrenaline pumping 【详细】
“Look, I should’ve told you earlier in the week,” David said. “She came to me about the gambling thing, but she told me she wouldn’t report me if I didn’t blow her cover, so I guess I was scared. And, you know, I wasn’t totally sure it was y 【详细】
“Why are we following David Rand?” Jon whispered in the darkness as we trudged across the barren soccer field in David’s footsteps. “I can’t tell you that right now,” I replied. “But you’ll tell me eventually,” Jon said. “Uh . . . yeah 【详细】

Five minutes later I burst into Jon’s room, ready to tear into him, but the second I saw Jon lying there on his bed, my hurt was eclipsed by my disappointment in myself. I was the one in the wrong. I had done what I had promised myself all along I would 【详细】
After calling off my mother and telling her to wait for me to contact her, I stormed through the gym and out the door that led to the main hallway. I was upset, confused and totally disillusioned after the debacle with Marshall. I couldn’t believe it. I 【详细】
The music was audible from halfway across campus, and it felt like the bass beat was resonating in my heart, intensifying the tangle of emotions that had already taken me over. I was nervous, that much wass obvious. But I was also excited. If all went wel 【详细】
On Friday night I sat with Jon at dinner—inside this time. A blustery snow shower earlier in the day had given way to a cold, still evening, and the new drifts gleamed white outside the windows. It would’ve been romantic—if we weren’t surrounded b 【详细】

That evening I followed Jon from the post office to the guys’ dorm once again. His backpack was bulging from the weight of something he had concealed inside. He was making another delivery to Marshall. I could feel it. I hid in the stairwell and watche 【详细】
The next day the unusually warm weather continued. When I saw Jon eating his lunch outside again, alone, I decided to take the initiative and join him. Danielle was still being exaggeratedly cold toward me, and I had no idea how to act whenever I was arou 【详细】
“I think we need to go back to my room and talk,” David said. “I think maybe we should talk right here,” I countered, my heart slamming into my ribs. David didn’t even blink. “If you want to talk to me, it’s not gonna be here,” he said. 【详细】

I returned to my room, dejected about what a fiasco the investigation had become. Not only had I learned nothing from Michael and Tek, but they obviously were going to tell Jon I’d been sniffing around about drugs. One of my main suspects was going to k 【详细】
Next I had planned to stop by Michael and Tek’s room. I knew it was a brazen move—the details of my visit would probably get back to Jon expeditiously, but I felt that I was running out of options. And Michael and Tek seemed like the type of guys who 【详细】
I spent most of Sunday in the library, pretending to work on my History paper when I was in fact making lists—one for each of my suspects. I made three columns in my notebook and wrote down anything abstruse that I had witnessed, hoping the juxtapositio 【详细】

Instead of heading into the dorm, I walked across the quad, my snowboard stuffed under my arm. The boys’ dorm was accessible through a back door, which I wasn’t surprised to find unlocked. For a school so concerned about crime, they were certainly lax 【详细】
On the way back to Hereford I sat in the passenger seat of Jon’s Jeep Wrangler. Tek and Michael had passed out in the back and were snoring up a storm. Every once in a while one of them would let out a particularly loud snort and Jon and I would exchang 【详细】
Saturday morning Jon and I hopped onto the chairlift and pulled the protective bar down, then sat in comfortable silence as we were whisked to the top of the mountain. Comfortable silence. Even I can’t believe it. But one day of snowboarding and someth 【详细】

“Point, Sharpe! Match, Sharpe!” The referee grabbed my wrist and pulled it into the air, declaring me the winner of the penultimate fight in the match. I grinned as I fought for breath, but instead of the round of cheers and applause I was expecting, 【详细】
That evening I was getting ready for my inaugural karate match when I heard a burst of laughter from the hallway, followed by a string of incoherent jeers. I quickly tied the belt on my robe and stuck my head out into the corridor. What I saw made my stom 【详细】
The very next day I received a yellow slip informing me that I had a package waiting for me at the student post office. I was so psyched I didn’t even give myself time to deliberate about what I was going to say. I grabbed my coat and ran for the post o 【详细】

That night I sat in David’s room, propped up on Christian’s pillow, watching a particularly poignant episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (he had every available episode on DVD) and waiting to put my premeditated plan into action. Even though I was pra 【详细】
“Kim, this is all very good work,” my mother told me after I explained the Jon situation to her. At first she had been upset about the fact that I hadn’t waited until midnight to call her. (I was so excited about the suspicious behavior I’d witnes 【详细】
The following day after classes I accompanied Danielle to the student post office to drop off a birthday present she was sending to her sister. The box was wrapped in plain brown paper embellished with glittering flowers Danielle had spent half the night 【详细】

As I was coming around the corner into Marshall’s hall I heard a door swing open. I paused, then ducked back behind the wall. I don’t know if it was detective’s intuition that made me do it, but I was instantly glad I did. When I peeked around the c 【详细】
“I can’t believe you were hanging out with Marshall Cone!” Danielle seemed anguished by the new development as she paced our room later that day. “Actually, wait. I can believe it.” She paused and looked at me. I was sitting on my bed with my ta 【详细】
“I . . . uh . . . .” Hadn’t I just had some plausible excuses lined up? My mind was completely devoid of words. No poise under pressure—not a good quality in a cop. “I just . . . lost!” I exclaimed, completely unintelligible. “You just lost, 【详细】

As soon as lunch was over I found myself in the deserted hallway once more, following Jon Wisnewski back to his stairwell. I was feeling a little more daring after my success with Marshall and I must admit, I wasn’t quite as stealthy this time. My sneak 【详细】
By the time I emerged from the lunch line the next afternoon I was all nerves. I was about to sit with Marshall and his obnoxious, vain, fatuous friends—a prospect that made me queasy for three reasons. First, I knew that David and Danielle were going t 【详细】
I waited until I heard Danielle’s breathing slow to a nice, rhythmic pace before stealing out into the hallway with my cell phone. On the way back from the guys’ dormitory I’d noticed three old telephone booths built into the wall near the lounge. T 【详细】

“See you tomorrow!” I said to David as I left his room later that night. Danielle had already bailed an hour ago to get some studying done, and Christian had never returned. David had theorized that his roomie was in the ancient-history section of the 【详细】
“So, what’s so great about David’s room?” I asked as Danielle and I climbed the stairs into the guys’ dormitory that night. After dinner, David had suggested we chill with him at his digs, and Danielle had taken him up on it before I’d even ha 【详细】
By the time classes were dismissed that evening, I was more than ready for a good therapeutic karate match. Each teacher at Hereford was more dour than the last, and they all seemed to think that the only way to get through to the students was by inundati 【详细】

After lunch the students at Hereford got a half-hour break that was akin to recess. I hadn’t had recess since the fourth grade. And they called this place a prep school. “We go outside when it’s nice out, but on days like this we just hang out here 【详细】
“Yeah, Cheryl pretty much detests me,” Danielle said over lunch that afternoon. I placed my tray of food at a table near the wall and dropped my books on an empty chair. The aroma coming from the kitchen caused my stomach to grumble inaudibly. I was s 【详细】
“So, Kim, you ready for your first class with Nefarious Nitkin?” Danielle asked the following morning as she, David and I made our descent to the basement classroom where senior History class was held. At dinner the night before they had given me a ru 【详细】

As I followed Ms. Bean—yes, Ms. Bean—through the halls of Hereford, I felt like I had been almost prescient. The school was everything I had predicted it would be and more. The walls were fashioned out of dark, gleaming wood, just as I’d imagined. T 【详细】
“It’s not that. It’s the fact that even though he’s dirt-poor and on scholarship, he’s always walking around with all the same toys the other Hereford kids have,” Tad explained, leaning both elbows on the table. “PalmPilot. . . iPod . . . la 【详细】
“Okay, these are your suspects,” Tad told me, laying three photographs on the table in front of me. It was the following morning, and I was sitting in the conference room at the police station, my back rigid. I had worn my most boring brown sweater an 【详细】
It took my mother a few seconds to recover from her shock, but when she did, she was adamant. “Uh-uh. No way, no how,” she said. Quincy and Tad stepped out of her way as she rounded the desk. My mother is an imperious woman, to say the least. Tall and 【详细】

I grabbed a few M&Ms, thanked Selma and wound my way through the desks to get to my mom’s office at the back of the station. When I was a few feet away I heard raised voices on the other side of the shuttered glass walls that surrounded her office. 【详细】
I turned down Morrison Street, the main avenue of Morrison, Connecticut, my quaint hometown, which was lined with Mom-and-Pop businesses, the town library and the obligatory Gap. The wind was biting against my face, but I couldn’t help smiling. I felt l 【详细】
Ask anyone—well, anyone who knows me—and they will tell you that I have this uncanny ability for finding the fun. It doesn’t matter how sedate the situation, how staid the participants, I, Kim Stratford, will inspire laughter where there is only mis 【详细】
