"Don't move," Chandler said, inching toward it and urging me to lie back.
He lunged at the window, pulling the curtain back farther to see Barry standing there.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"I came to tell you we'd better go. Rose is getting nervous."
"How long were you out here?" Chandler asked him.
"I just stepped up. why?"
Chandler turned back to me.
"I don't understand what you're saying," he continued as if Barry had never interrupted us. "Why haven't any of you met her? Why would she be spying on you? Does this mean she's going to tell Madame Senetsky about us?"
"I don't know. Chandler. Let's leave it be for now. Barry's right. You'd better leave before something else happens, okay?"
"I would feel terrible if I caused you to be thrown out of the school. Honey. Just terrible."
I nodded, I was too frightened to think about it.
"I'll call you in the morning before I leave for the airport," he said.
He kissed me quickly and slipped out the window. I watched him and Barry descend. He looked up and waved and then they both ran to the driveway to disappear in the shadows and sneak out of the compound.
I closed the window and thought. Would whoever that was tell what she had seen? Rose could be in big trouble. too. I put on my robe and quickly went to her room. I knocked softly.
"Who is it?"
"Me," I said, opening the door. Her lights were alit.
"Honey? What's wrong?" she asked and turned on the lamp on her side table.
I closed the door softly behind me.
"She was at my window," I said. "While Chandler and I were..."
"While you were making love?"
"Yes. I mean. I don't know how long she was there or what she actually saw, but she surely saw he was there. Once she tells Madame Senetsky... Oh. Rose, how will I ever explain this to my parents?"
I dropped onto her bed and started to weep.
"We'd better tell the other two. Wait here," Rose said. "I'm going to get them."
I sat in the dark, waiting. trembling. Moments later. Rose returned with Ice and Cinnamon right behind her. They closed the door and Rose put on another lamp.
"What exactly happened?" Cinnamon asked in a loud whisper. I told her and everyone was quiet.
"She might have looked in my window. too," Rose said, "and seen Barry as well."
"This is disgusting, being spied upon like this. We have no lives here," Cinnamon muttered.
"Amen to that." Ice said. "What should we do?" I asked.
"Nothing. What can we do? We'll have to wait to see what happens tomorrow. I can tell you this," Cinnamon vowed. "if either of you are thrown out of this school because of this. I'm marching out right behind you."
"Me, too," Ice said.
