I ask my mom if I can spend the next several weeknights at Kevin’s house, and I block Easton’s calls and texts.

Dear Ella Masters,
Thank you for nominating me to take your spot for consideration in England. I know it was you.
Wish I Would’ve Told You,
—Scarlett
Tully
Meet me at Whimstery Cafe around 7ish. Girls night!
You sent this to the wrong person.
Tully
No, I didn’t. I want you to come hang out with me.
Why?
Tully
Because I love you and want to spend time with my sister.
Bullshit.
Tully
Okay, fine. I need some candid pics of us hanging out in their cafe for the brand deal. I got you a sexy date for afterwards. *wink wink* Thank me later.

The cafe is full of college students, but Tully and I fit in perfectly. She’s wearing black and grey like me, and while her lips are stained in a bright purple, mine are colored with a bright red.
“So…” She sips her coffee. “How’s your senior year going?”
“Good. Yours?”
“Pretty effin awesome.” She smiles. “I’m homecoming queen for another year in a row, and I’m sure that prom queen is next. Speaking of prom, you don’t have to come with me and mom to the next trips to Nashville unless you want to.”
“What’s the reasoning?”
“It’s top secret, so you have to promise not to tell first. Not even Kevin.”
“I promise.”
She looks around as if someone may be listening. Then she leans forward and whispers, “Vera Wang is launching a new Southern Belle line for affordable evening wear and they’re sending me four gowns to choose from. I get one for the spring formal and one for the prom.”
“That’s amazing, Tully,” I say. “Congratulations.”
“Thank you!” She leans back. “The only thing that sucks is that I have to send them back for alterations and color adjustments, and the tuxedo shop that Easton is using may not be able to match his boutonnière to mine in time.”
“I’m sure they’ll find a way to get it done.”
