CHAPTER TWELVE

EAT, DRINK, AND BE WARY

Nothing against the Olympics. They’re inspiring, and they originated in Greece, just like Deucey. But whenever they rolled around, Cleo’s favorite TV shows were taken off the air and replaced with—and let’s be honest—two weeks’ worth of obscure, unendorsable physical activities. During that time, Cleo would often find herself wandering aimlessly around the palace like a lost camel in the desert, in search of something familiar to ground her. It was a disorienting, unnerving condition for which the only cures were the closing ceremonies and the subsequent return of her regularly scheduled programming. Once order had been restored, she’d celebrate by eating one of Hasina’s decadent chocolate pyramid cupcakes, to replenish the inevitable calorie loss she’d suffered during her fourteen days of wandering.

And now, seated in the Allergy-Free Zone of the Merston High cafeteria with her three best friends, Cleo bit off the chocolate point of the pyramid in celebration of a different kind of restoration: the restoration of her regularly scheduled life. The one in which Clawdeen, Lala, and Blue focused on her like a high-performance zoom lens. The one in which newbies (Frankie!) and normies (Melody!) weren’t making headlines. The one in which there was cell service in the palace. And dates with D on Saturday nights. The one in which she’d announce her Teen Vogue shoot, and her friends would sweat envy for days. The one that she was about to get back.

So far nothing pointed to the contrary. The cafeteria was filling up with hungry normies en route to their usual tables in the Peanut-Free, Gluten-Free, Lactose-Free, and new Fat-Free food zones. As usual, girls passed Cleo and her friends with a sideways glance to check their fashion-forward outfits. If Deuce wasn’t around—and he wasn’t on Mondays because of basketball practice—guys would do the same. They’d bop their heads to the lunchtime playlist, which today began with “I Made It (Cash Money Heroes)” by Kevin Rudolf. The lyrics couldn’t have been more appropriate.
