“Hey! Don’t judge me. You just met me.”

She clicked her tongue. “Meh, I know the type.”

I saw nothing wrong with not wanting to play the damsel in distress, and I was dead set on slaying my own dragons. If I was going to be with a guy, he’d have to see me as an equal. No way would I be anyone’s little princess in need of protection. I playfully nudged her. “Whatever.”

“Isn’t it funny that we’re both natural blondes?” she asked.

At that moment, I felt guilty and embarrassed that I’d thought her hair was dyed, and I was glad I had never mentioned it to her. In any case, her platinum blonde hair was a unique feature about her that made people notice her from miles away. My blonde hair was nothing special.

“So what do you think of my Eric?” she asked.

“He’s cute, I guess. His glasses make him look smart.”

“Hey! Back off, woman,” she said with a chuckle. “I’ve got dibs.”

“Relax,” I said, then admitted in a lower tone, “If I were after anybody, it’d be Hunter.”

She cocked a brow, disbelief crossing her soft face. “Hunter? That guy we washed dishes with?”

“Yeah, him.”

As if his ears had been itching, Hunter entered the room with two of his friends, laughing about some mischief they’d caused the day before. He was wearing his typical faded jeans and a white t-shirt, emphasizing his lean, muscular frame. He was sipping from a soda can as he listened to his friends talking, all the while sneaking peeks at me. He was so hot I could have stared at him all day; his charm was impossible to resist.

“There’s just something about him,” I said, nodding in his direction to let her know who I was gawking at.

She glanced up at him as he walked back to his seat. “Maybe it’s that you wanna tame him. I hate to break it to you, honey, but I don’t think Hunter’s gonna be tied down to being a one-woman man anytime soon.”

I laughed. “Oh yeah? A real bad boy, huh?” I asked, my eyes glistening with curiosity and fantasies that I didn’t want to admit.

“Don’t do it, Zoey. I’ve heard the rumors, and you don’t wanna go chasing that one. He’ll probably date over half the girls here by the end of the school year.”

“Maybe…or maybe not.”

She sighed the same way my older sister always did, as if I was a hopeless case. “Tell me you’re not going to ignore my advice on this.”

I nodded, smiling. “Only if he’s interested…and not taken.”

Mrs. Duball’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts. “Students, today we’ll spend our hour going over the history of Tiker Castle. This will be valuable information for you about your surroundings, so please pay attention.”

“Hey!” Pam whispered, kicking my chair.

I turned and whispered, “Are you trying to give me whiplash or something?”

She smiled and pushed a small, neatly folded note into my hand. “Special delivery,” she whispered.

I looked down at the note with red ink on
