Who Killed the Homecoming Queen? (1997)
“chapter 23 “Keith!” Eva shrieked. “Keith!”
Eva twisted sideways and caught the edge of the bleacher step with one hand. She hung by an arm, her legs dangling in the air.
Her fingers began to slip. She screamed again.
Then Keith grabbed hold of her wrist, clamping onto it like a vise.
Eva swept her other arm toward him, and he latched onto that one, too.
“Don’t let me fall!” she cried. “Please!”
Keith began pulling her up, his eyes squeezed almost shut with the effort.
Pain shot through Eva’s arms. It felt as if they were being torn from their sockets.
“Swing your leg up!” Keith groaned, pulling hard. His face turned red as he struggled to hang on. “Get your leg up!”
Eva’s chest scraped against the edge of the bleachers. She swung her leg and tried to hook her toe onto the edge. But her sneaker started to slip off.
She bent her knee and felt it scrape up and over the rough cement. Keith pulled harder, grunting and straining.
And then she was up, scrambling over the edge.
