CHAPTER 15

SUMMER

“I asked Mason on a date,” I tell Ashley when we’re up in my room.

She was painting the word “Jason” on her fingernails, and little hearts and flowers. But suddenly she chokes on her gum.

“What?!” she gasps.

I laugh. I love to freak her out. “It’s just a fake date. Remember how I had that cabin-mate at cheer camp, Kirstin? Well, I’d introduced her to this guy I was dating while I was there at camp—Clark.” I sigh dreamily. “He was to die for. Anyway, it ended up Clark started going to the same high school as Kirstin—long story. But now—” I sigh, this time so not dreamy; in fact, with a grimace, “—now their dating.”

“Awwhh,” Ashley makes this sympathetic noise.

“Well, it’s not that big of a heartache,” I admit. “More of a pride-ache. After all, I came home from camp and started dating loser Camden, remember? So, it’s not like Clark owed me his heart for life or anything. It’s just … ANYWAY,” I huff, getting back on track, “Kirstin invited me to this birthday party she’s throwing for Clark. They live practically an hour away from here—so I could’ve got out of it. But I guess I should go, since Kirstin’s a friend. Sort of. Well, a camp friend.”

“But of course you can’t show up alone,” Ashley says, totally getting it. That it’s a pride-thing. And well, Kirstin kind of stole my boyfriend. Sort of. Not enough for me to be super mad about … but enough that no way can I show up at the party without a hot date. One hotter than smokin’ Clark.

I groan. “Right.”

“Well, Mason’s hot.” She blows on her fingernails, drying them, but I can tell she’s biting back a huge smile.

She thinks I have a crush on Mason. But I don’t. (Well, I do … but not one that I will ever, ever admit. Not out loud, or even to myself.) Because he’s my brother … sort of. Well, he was my brother … sort of. But my mom and his dad had only been married about a year, then divorced. But, well, Mason still lived with us. And slept in my room in a sleeping bag—sometimes. Just to keep me from having nightmares. He doesn’t do that so much anymore—but I’m getting older and the nightmares are going away. Slowly. Now my dreams are more about him than the scary ones I used to have. Though really, these new dreams kind of scare me too. Because they involve kissing—Mason. I wake from them going, Whoa! What the—?? And sort of freak out. Because it’s so wrong (and twisted) having a crush on your stepbrother … even if he isn’t your stepbrother anymore.

I don’t say anything to Ashley’s ‘Mason’s hot’ comment. Instead, I look through my closet, though now my cheeks are burning. That’s why I keep my face away from Ashley, and act as though I didn’t even hear what she said about Mason, so she doesn’t know I’m blushing up a storm.
