Sunday September 1st
“Let’s roll!”I call up the stairs to the girls.
“It’s a five-minute walk,” Leah calls back.
“But a twenty-minute drive when we stop and get coffee!”
“We have a machine.”
“It’s a Starbies kind of day,” I explain.
Walking down the stairs, in her jean shorts and KET tee that was designed to commemorate this day, she pulls the final rollers out of her hair and reminds me, “New England loves Dunkin.”
I smile big and bright as I hold up my phone, showing her the text from Grace and Ellie, making their requests, as they have been at KET to help with final details. “Like I said, it’s a Starbies kind of day.”

Armed with caffeineand full of excitement, we walk into KET house. Everyone looks so good in their shorts, KET tees, hair all done, and of course everyone has accessorized their fits, making them all their own.
Grace and Ellie spot and make a beeline to us.
“Look at you pretties!” Grace exclaims as she holds her phone up, and Leah and I pose as best we can as we’re double-fisted.
They take their coffees, and we all exchange one-armed hugs, because we’re protecting our caffeine as if our lives depends on it. It basically does—we’re all dead on our feet.
“Did she make it?” I whisper to Ellie.
She doesn’t have to answer me. I can see it in her eyes.
My sweet but strong rush crush, Aaria, is in!

Monday September 2nd
Dragging ass into class, my hair drenched from my post-workout shower, I’m dressed in sweats and a hoodie when I all but run into Oz.
“Riles, what the hell happened to you?” The way he’s looking at me is with true concern.
This causes me to snort-laugh which, to that, his face … Oh sweet Jesus, Oz’s stunning face contorts into a look of horror, and that makes me laugh even harder.
I finally manage to respond with, “Rough weekend.”
“Jesus, I guess so.” He chuckles.
