“What’s with the nerdy show?” Evie asks as she drives us toward our house.
I explain everything to her, and Evie’s eyes widen when I tell her about the convention. “So Mom and Dad are actually letting you go?”
“Yep,” Lily says with an excited laugh. “Driving all the way there will be a little crazy. Crazy, but fun.”
Evie frowns. “They wouldn’t even let me go to a party in Silverton with my friends,” she grumbles.
“Because it was in a shady area,” Lily reminds her.
Evie grunts. “Was not.”
“Uh hu,” Lily says with a knowing smile. “Besides, you don’t even like parties. You just wanted to go because everyone else was going.”
Evie shrugs. “Heaven forbid I doonenormal high school thing before I graduate. Anyway, cops busted the party because someone tipped them off that there was underage drinking.”
I lift a brow. “So the parents are always right, huh?”
She sighs dramatically. “The parents are always right.”

I wait for Chloe to text me that she’s ready to video chat, but half an hour passes and nothing. Figuring she might be finishing up her homework or busy with something else, I wait another fifteen minutes before texting her.
Liam: Hey, are you ready?
Her response comes ten minutes later.
Chloe: ?
Liam: We’re starting season two, aren’t we?
Chloe: Oh. I forgot, sorry.
Liam: It’s okay. We still got time.
Chloe: Actually, I was reading over the poem and trying to figure out who the guy is. I know, stupid.
So…she ditched me for her secret admirer.
I mean, that’s great….that she might have a boyfriend and everything.
Liam: Oh. Cool. Yeah. Maybe you can figure it out.
Chloe: It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Liam: How about you distract yourself with Aleriana and Torenin?
Chloe: I didn’t do my homework yet. Gosh, I feel so irresponsible…I just couldn’t stop thinking about him.
Liam: That guy’s driving you insane. It’s not healthy.
Chloe: Liam…
Liam: No. He should man up and reveal himself. What’s he hiding?
As soon as I send the text, I regret it.
Liam: Sorry.
