“All right, fuckers, listen up!” Zeke yells from where he’s standing on our front deck. “We’ve got five hours before we have to meet back here. Any items back past the time limit don’t count, and we only include what’s on the list. Other than that, the only rules are not to be dickheads or dangerous. Today is about fun. Any questions?”

There aren’t, because we’ve all filled our pledges in, and you can taste the competition on the air. Everyone wants to get started already.

All of Greek Row is gathered on the grass out the front of our house and the one next door, ready for our annual scavenger hunt. I’m pumped. I love this day. It’s cool, but the sky is a clear blue without a cloud in sight, like Mother fucking Nature herself is blessing this sacred competition.

I’m on our front deck with the rest of my house, all of us wearing high-vis construction vests and hard hats, ready to start working on a plan of attack as soon as we have our lists.

My gaze creeps across the lawn toward where Kappa House are, even though I’ve been trying my best not to look. They’re all wearing bright pink tutus and have sweatbands around their heads. Bailey’s black curls are a mess around it, his cheeks are flushed pink—either from the excitement of today or catching me watching him, who knows?—and he looks so goddamn adorable, I’m itching to pull out my phone and take a photo.

I realized last night that I only have the selfie he sent me ages ago, and he doesn’t put up many on social media. I need more. Time to rectify that.

A spark of inspiration hits, and I jump up onto the handrail of the deck, holding on to the awning above for support. Then I start taking random photos that prompt cheers and raised hands. I take a group shot, then start snapping one of each house, getting more and more random until … I point my phone in Bailey’s direction and get the shot.

How’s that for smart?

I’m feeling clever when I jump back down and angle away from my brothers to inspect the image. The smart-ass is wearing a small smirk, like he knows exactly what I’m up to, and—I scowl. Lucas is inside the frame, throwing up a peace sign and begging me to punch him in the face. I zoom in, screenshot the picture minus Lucas, and delete the original. Much better.

It goes to show how much Bailey distracts me that I hadn’t even noticed Lucas standing with him in the first place.

I’m not jealous because that would be dumb. Bailey told me he has zero interest in Lucas, so that’s awesome, but knowing Lucas wants in on my man and not being able to tell him to back off doesn’t sit right.

And … well, my man might be a stretch. We’ve hooked up again, and we text a lot, and I’m starting to really like him, but dating in secret feels like a lot of work.
