Excerpt:
“By the way, did you hear Lauren got
into Senator Agretti’s old school?”
“Seriously? I wonder if she applied
there because Brendon did,” I said.
Margaux snorted. “Duh, of course.
Seriously, she might as well just pee on him to mark her territory.”
“Margaux, shut up,” Kylie said.
“Whatever. Anyway, the important thing
is if Brendon knew she was applying there,” Margaux said. “Em, do you think he
knew?”
I hoped Lauren was just trying to
follow Brendon, but what if they had planned this whole thing while they were
dating? What if he convinced her to apply there so they could go to college
together, wear matching American flag sweaters with big scarves while drinking
hot chocolate, and jump into leaf piles just like a preppy clothing catalog. At
least now I didn’t have to worry about them reciting poetry to one another in
South Bend, but still, what if they had made plans to go to school together?
“Don’t worry about it,” Kylie said.
“She was probably trying to follow him—like she always does. She’s so pathetic.”
Kylie was trying to make me feel
better, but Lauren was far from pathetic. After all, she was pretty much the
“Most Likely to Succeed” poster girl. While she was out overachieving and
saving the world without messing up her perfect, bouncy hair, I was trying to
get through each day. I tried to push away the image of Lauren and Brendon
holding hands and drinking hot chocolate under a stadium blanket.
