TWENTY FOUR

The weekend went by quickly.

We managed to unpack and decorate Tana's entire dorm room, which was bigger than we'd anticipated. Her roommate wasn't going to be up until the following weekend, so we took advantage and set the room up the way she wanted. We wandered the campus, finding the buildings where her classes were and we went to the bookstore and bought a boat load of ridiculously large, over-priced textbooks.

We walked around town, finding lots of cute restaurants and places that looked fun to hang out. And it made me jealous. She was getting the true college experience.

I was still living at home, commuting to the local community college.

It made me second guess myself. I wondered if I'd given up too much just because of Annika. Maybe I'd overreacted. Seeing San Luis and the campus and the dorm, it felt like Tana was really going to college. For me, it felt like I was going to thirteenth grade.

By the time we got back to San Diego on Sunday night, I was beginning to rethink my decision. I couldn't go back on it now, but I was starting to think I'd screwed up and would be missing out.

Annika was lying on my bed when I went upstairs. I stopped short, frowning.

“Well, well,” she said, tapping away at her phone. “Did you get a taste of real college life this weekend?”

I dropped my bag next to the closet door. “What are you doing in here?”

“Waiting for you.”

“Why?” I asked, annoyed. “And get off my bed.” The last thing I wanted was the smell of her lingering on my comforter again.

She didn't move. “So. Your new boyfriend.”

I rolled my eyes, dropped down on the floor and unzipped my duffle.

“West Montgomery,” she said.

I froze, my hands already in the bag. “What?”

“West Montogomery,” she repeated and I could tell she was smiling. “Your new boyfriend's name is West Montgomery.”

I twisted around to look at her. “How do you know?”

She sat up and folded her legs up Indian style. “I don't hear you telling me I'm wrong.”

I shrugged, trying to act nonchalant. “Yeah. His name is West.”

“I have to admit,” Annika said, clucking her tongue. “You did well. That boy is smokin'.”

A knot formed in my stomach. “How do you know?”

“I was hoping you'd ask that,” Annika said, pleased with herself. Her eyes narrowed. “I did some...investigating.”

“What the hell does that mean?”

“It really wasn't that hard,” she said. “I asked around. Found out about the party down at Riviera. Someone thought they saw me there with some hottie. I knew I wasn't there and I knew their eyesight was poor, so I assumed it was you.” She smiled. “From there, it was just a matter of finding someone who was there. I have friends everywhere, sis.”

I knew that was true. If she set her mind to it, she could've found anyone. Her social network was bigger than Facebook.

“The Internet and social media make things so easy,” she said, grinning. “Wasn't hard to track down pictures.
