Olivia squealed when I told her what had happened. “I can’t believe you puked,” she said, struggling to catch her breath in between fits of hysteria. “God, I would have been so freaking embarrassed.”

“It was awful,” I said, wishing for the hundredth time that I could rewind the last few hours for a do-over. “I swear I wanted to die, Libby. I wouldn’t even let John kiss me goodnight because I was afraid I had puke breath. What a way to make an impression, huh?”

“Oh, you definitely made an impression. And all because you couldn’t handle a little sip of alcohol. I guess we know who’ll be the designated driver once we hit college,” she said, which set her off on another round of giggles.

“I can’t help it. Alcohol smells like a horse’s anus.”

Olivia laughed even harder. “And how . . . do you know . . . what a horse’s . . .” I could hear her strangled breathing on the other end of the phone as she tried to get the word out. “What a h-horse’s,” she tried again, “ANUS smells like?”

“What I lack in personal experience, I make up for in imagination.”

“So then it really was wine and not blood,” Olivia said, sounding genuinely disappointed. “Do you mean to tell me there are no vampires walking among the living?”

“I think it’s safe to assume that whatever awful-smelling concoction was in that cup was not blood.”

“But you didn’t actually drink any, so you can’t be one-hundred-percent sure.”

I snorted. “I wouldn’t even know what blood is supposed to taste like! But c’mon. You know this is all just one big joke.”

“Oh, I don’t know about that,” Olivia said. “Gabe said that vampires are totally real and that he’s even seen one walking around downtown. There’s this guy that dresses in a black—”

“Trench coat and cowboy hat,” I finished. “Yeah, I know exactly the guy he’s talking about. Long blondish hair and really weird, but sort of good-looking in a scary way. I actually ran into him a few months back. Like, literally ran into him as I was coming out of a shop. But that hardly . . . Wait,” I said suddenly. “You told Gabe?”

There was a slight pause. “He’s my boyfriend,” Olivia said finally, as if that justified her big mouth.

“Oh that’s just fan-freaking-tastic! He’s going to tell Zach, and no telling who Zach will go yammering to. If this gets out once school starts that I think my new boyfriend and his best friend are vampires, I’m going to be a laughing stock. Thanks a lot, Olivia.”

“Relax. We have another month of summer vacation. This will all blow over by then. And who knows if you and John will still be together come September?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

There was another pause. “Well, John is obviously your rebound guy.”

“I’m the one who broke up with Zach, remember?”

“So?”

“So, I’m hardly broken-hearted about it. I mean, yeah there are some things about Zach that I miss, but I’m having a lot of fun with John.
