Chapter One
BETTINA
“Tegan no-middle-name Bishop. This is Bettina, your best friend, calling. Again. Voicemail number eighteen.” I sighed and leaned my forehead on my steering wheel. “I snuck out of my house tonight. You’d be proud. And I hate that you’re not here. Call me back. Let me know you’re alive and not eaten by an alligator down there.”
I leaned back in my seat and hung up the call.
A month ago, I was happy to be invisible. My school went from sixth to twelfth grade, and fortunately, the bullies had gotten bored with my best friend and me in eighth grade. Unfortunately, I was pretty sure everyone forgot I existed since. I was the nerdy quiet girl who carried paperback books in my purse wherever I went just in case I had a moment to spare. It was a role that fit me perfectly. No one bothered me, and I got to live a happy, peaceful life.
And then Tegan, my best friend, left me. About a month ago. Her father had gotten a new job, effective immediately, so he’d packed her and her little brother up and moved to Florida. Tegan and I had had about forty-eight hours to say goodbye—after eleven years of friendship. She’d sworn up and down that it wasn’t a real goodbye, that we’d still talk every day and be just as close. I’d known it wasn’t going to happen.
I hated being right sometimes.
A few texts in a matter of three weeks was nothing. I’d buried myself in books and binge watched Supernatural for the twentieth time, but then school had started this week. Sophomore year…and I had no friends. And it sucked. The only person I was friendly with was Dean Hoover. We worked together at the animal shelter, but I’d only been there a few months so I barely knew him. Still, I was desperate. He’d invited me to eat lunch with his friends at school today…and it was okay. They weren’t Tegan, but they were nice. I think.
Headlights flashed across my face as a black pickup truck drove past me. I groaned and looked down at my phone. It was almost eleven. Dean’s party had started an hour ago. I hated that Tegan wasn’t here, and I hated her father even more for taking her away. The least he could’ve done was take me with them. I glared at my phone for a moment then decided to try a different tactic…
I sent a text message to Hunter Bishop. You know it’s not too late to take me with you.
Three bubbles popped up instantly, and then his response popped up. I’M SORRY, BETTINA. I AM. ARE YOU OKAY?
I groaned. I haven’t been able to get ahold of Tegan for days now.
Oh, well, she was grounded. But now she’s on a school field trip for the weekend, as punishment. When Tegan gets home we’ll discuss your visitation. How does that sound?
I sighed. Okayyyy. Will you make her call me when she gets home? Please?
Of course. Now please do me a favor and take care of yourself, okay?
I smiled and sent back. I’ll try. Then I added smiling face emojis.
I shoved my phone into the pocket of my black leather jacket and zipped it closed. There was no point sitting by the phone waiting for Tegan’s call. She was on a field trip—they’d be monitoring her. But more importantly, there was a party raging in the mansion up ahead and it was past time for me to join.
Without letting myself think about it for a single second longer, I threw the door open and climbed out. Once I was sure the alarm had been set, I crossed the cobblestone street. I forced all of my other thoughts away and focused on my mission: entering the party without tripping or making a scene.
But as I crossed under a black iron archway, all of my confidence vanished. Panic settled in. My feet glued to the brick sidewalk. From where I stood, there were four balconies, all filled with teenagers. Through the big windows, what had to be a hundred people were crammed inside. My pulse quickened. My palms grew sweaty and my legs twitched with the need to flee. I knew no one inside except the host. Which meant I’d be there alone. By myself. Nobody else.
Dear God, what was I thinking?
This is a terrible idea. I’m not equipped for this.
I shifted my weight and started to turn—then froze. I was alone…and that wasn’t going to change. Tegan wasn’t out of town; she’d moved. She wasn’t coming back. I had three years ahead of me before I could make sure we went to the same college. Three YEARS. I felt like I was hanging from a cliff. I could either let go and let myself fall into torture and misery—OR I could try to climb back up. I had to do this, for myself. For my sanity.
Operation make ONE friend commences.
I pushed my shoulders back and charged forward. Music blared so loud it drowned out my panicked thoughts. The grand double doors were wide open, and teenagers poured in and out. I stepped over the threshold and felt my confidence waver again.
The house was absolutely breathtaking. Rich mahogany wood stretched as far as I could see, even up the grand spiral staircase in front of me. Directly overhead was a crystal chandelier the size of my mom’s sedan that probably cost more. I glanced around the foyer in search of Dean, but all I found were a few dozen foreign faces. They stood in small clusters, holding red plastic cups and moving to the beat of the music while they tried to talk over the noise.
I licked my lips and glanced around, trying to pick my best route, when someone slammed into my back. I stumbled forward a few feet before I caught myself on the stairs railing. Laughter bubbled up around me.
A girl I’d never seen before leaned in front of me with one manicured eyebrow arched. “No wonder our football teams sucks. Our quarterback can’t see the jolly green giant standing in the foyer. Am I right?”
I slammed my mouth shut and nodded. Then before she could say anything else, I turned and walked into the living room. Jolly green giant. I hadn’t heard that one since fifth grade. It stopped bothering me in fourth. At five foot ten, I was tall for a sixteen-year-old girl—okay, for any girl. I used to cry myself to sleep every time someone mocked my height. It used to cut deep. But then Tegan made me watch Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers with the scene where the talking tree people destroyed the enemy’s fortress. She’d said I was tall enough to crush my bullies under my feet, and somehow, that had worked.
