9:08 P.M.

Kristen tossed her math book onto the coffee table. It landed with a thud, summing up her state of mind perfectly. Studying positive integers was the only “positive” in her entire night. And she couldn’t even concentrate, because Ali had been yapping ever since she got baby Max back to sleep.

“What do you mean he was flirting with her?” Ali twirled her dirty-blond blowout. “Flirting like talking, or flirting like touching?”

Kristen rolled her eyes and turned on the TV. Merri-Lee Marvil’s party was raging. The DJ was playing Lil’ Bow Wow’s “Bounce With Me” and judging by all the sweaty foreheads, it looked like the party guests had been bouncing with him for a while.

“You have to keep him away from her,” Ali whispered into her cell phone, pacing in front of the TV. “I dunno, spill salsa on her lap, just do something!”

Mic in hand, Merri-Lee stepped into the foreground and began shouting over the music. “Make sure you stick around, because a very lucky girl is about to have her New Year’s dreams come true when she gets kissed by ThRob over at our Orlando party.”

They cut to a stunned blond girl with crooked bangs and round blue eyes standing in front of her house. She was dressed in a ridiculous red dress waving, metronome style, at the camera. Kristen hate-kicked her math book onto the floor. Even the freaks were having fun tonight!

“Tell him you’re on the phone with me and that I say hi.” Ali crossed in front of the TV. “Tell ’im. Tell ’im now. Go. Gogogogogo. Yeah, I’ll wait!”

“Move!” Kristen waved Ali aside.

Ali responded by sticking out her tongue and middle finger.

Kristen turned up the TV.

“We’re also going to see performances from…” Merri-Lee paused, and then looked down. She squinted in confusion while the rest of her forehead remained Botox-smooth. The camera pulled back to reveal a brunette, about Kristen’s age, whispering something to Merri-Lee. Then she grabbed the mic from Merri-Lee’s hand and addressed the crowd. Wearing kneesocks, wedges, and a black dress covered in metallic triangles, she had Teen Vogue style and CosmoGirl confidence.

“Excuse me, I have an announcement to make.” Her alluring amber eyes were fixed on the uproarious guests, refusing to be discouraged by the chaos. Off to the side, Merri-Lee was shaking her head and shrugging her bony shoulders, letting everyone know she had no clue who the girl was or what she was doing. But as always, Merri-Lee embraced spontaneity. Her end-of-year highlight shows were always hilarious because of it.

“I lost some very important charms,” the girl shouted. “A dollar sign, a shoe, and a pig. If anyone finds them, please return them to me, Massie Block. My cell number is—”

Merri Lee grabbed the mic away from Massie. “Okay, that’s enough. We don’t want every creep on the planet calling you now, do we?” She giggle-petted Massie on the head.

“Watch the hair.” Massie swept Merri-Lee’s hand aside.

Kristen gasp-laughed. The girl had guts.
