"Did I do something to you? Because I really don't think I did," I said.
"I'm not trying to be your friend, Lindsay. I'm just here to figure out the deal with this coin."
I wasn't trying to be his friend either, but why would either one of us want to spend time with someone who hated the other even with a goal that was clear as mud? He wasn't going to ruin the experience for me, and unless he found something to offer besides a bad attitude, he would no longer be with us very soon.
On the team. I wasn't going to kill him. Most likely.

Lindsay Hughes, a sophomore studying cultural anthropology at Tillamook College in Oregon, has been good at discovering patterns, lies, hidden details, and just about everything else for as long as she can remember. To her, it's no secret that she's an underachieving disappointment to her parents, she'll probably never find a job if she even graduates, and her spending habits will haunt her eventually, but she also couldn't care less about those minor issues.
With a professor who hates her job, a rock enthusiast best friend, a nosy roommate, and a bitter classmate who can't seem to listen, she digs up something, and for once in her life, she can't figure out what it means.
