“Kyle, come on! Mackenzie, you too!” Zander called.

I started to giggle, and Mikey G. raised his eyebrows. Zander did want me here! “Okay,” I yelled back, and started to stroke a strand of my hair absentmindedly.

“I don’t know if this party is a good idea.” Kyle frowned as the volleyball from Heath’s game sailed our way and Mikey G. volleyed it back. “I thought it was just the guys and us tonight. Your mom is going to go bonkers when she sees this crowd.”

But Zander had made me quesadillas. Okay, he had ordered quesadillas for fifty people, including me, but still. He had called me over. I couldn’t leave now. Not when Zander had gone to all this trouble. “We could stay for a little bit,” I suggested, looking at Zander again but trying not to stare. He was cute even with girls hanging on him. Sure, it wasn’t just the two of us hanging out as he’d promised, but we would still be hanging out. That had to mean something.

“Mac, I don’t think…,” Kyle started to say, but it was too late. Zander was a powerful magnet. I felt myself being pulled toward the fan club gathered around him.

“I loved your tweet last week asking fans to put a picture of a hyena on Heath’s head and post pictures,” said a girl who sounded a lot like a hyena herself.

“I almost died when you guys posted that YouTube video pranking Lemon Ade on her tour bus,” another girl chimed in. “Putting a rubber spider in her Cheerios was soooo funny!” She laughed giddily, and I rolled my eyes.

“That was my idea.” Zander put his arms behind his head and got comfy in a lounge chair. “Heath wanted to jump out and scare her, but I knew she’d freak over that rubber spider. I come up with most of our pranks,” he bragged. “Maybe you girls could help me come up with a new one for this week’s post. We’ve doubled subscribers.”

“That’s because PS is the best band ever,” a third girl said, knocking a taco out of someone’s hands to move closer to Zander. “I’ve been listening to you guys all weekend, ever since I heard ‘I Feel Blue’ on my Wave One app. I listen to it OVER and OVER. I think I might be the biggest fan you guys have.”

I snorted. Everyone turned to look at me, including Zander. “Sorry, I couldn’t help it. You’re their biggest fan after a WEEKEND? I’ve been listening to them for a YEAR.”

Zander smirked, but his groupies collectively growled at me. “Mac,” he said, and pulled me through the crowd toward his chair. I sat down on the edge of it. He put his arm around me, and I felt like my head was on fire. “Everyone, this is my good friend Mac. She’s going to be hard to beat as the biggest PS fan.”

“Oh yeah?” The self-proclaimed number one fan stuck her hands on her hips. “Prove it.”

I wasn’t scared of these Lola Cummings wannabes.
