I looked down at the red Solo cup in my hand and frowned. “Well, apparently, my brothers were right about this place,” I mumbled.

Tanner just gave me a look and snorted. “Because you didn’t want to party? Or because you think you’re too cool for a nearly flat beer out of a keg?”

I shook my head and took a sip. “It’s not nearly flat, it is flat,” I said with a grimace, then finished it anyway. Because, hey, beer.

“Pacey and Sanders are working on the next keg. You just happen to come from a family that owns a bar. And from what I hear, knows what they’re doing when it comes to beer.”

I shrugged and looked around my new place, currently filled to the brim with people I didn’t know. “My brothers wanted to make sure they had the best beers available, local and craft, and everything hipster you could possibly think of. I may have tasted some, but I’m going to plead the fifth.”

Tanner just glanced at me, his eyes filled with laughter, surprising me since they were usually a little more brooding. The other man took a sip of his beer and grimaced. “I hope the next keg is good. I mean, anything is better than this, unfortunately.”

“Do I want to know where Pacey and Sanders got the kegs? Considering I’m pretty sure all of us are twenty.”

“Sanders has an older brother who graduated last year. He makes sure Sanders always gets what he wants.”

There was something more in that particular statement, but I let it go. We were only a week and a half into living together, and we weren’t quite meshing yet. Nobody was rude or uncomfortable, but we were still trying to find our routines. Considering how I wasn’t good at finding a system thanks to hating change, it wasn’t easy.

“Okay. We’ve got it,” Sanders said, to the cheer of the others in the living room and kitchen.

“I didn’t realize this many people wanted to be here before school started,” I said as Miles came to my other side. The guy looked even more nervous than I did and kept hunching his shoulders as if afraid someone might notice he was there. Once Miles got to know people, he wasn’t as shy—at least given what I’d seen so far. But for now, he tended to hide behind Sanders or Tanner until he got more comfortable.

“I’m pretty sure Sanders knows all of these people. Or knew at least some of them, and they invited everyone else.”

“Sanders or Pacey,” Tanner added.

I looked at my two roommates, the ones who hadn’t invited the rest of the world, and felt like maybe I had found some kindred spirits. Or perhaps I was deluding myself.

“Hey there, Tanner,” a redhead with a very low-cut shirt and very short shorts yelled as she came up to Tanner’s side. She smiled and leaned against the other man at her side. “We were just talking about you. How about you show us the rest of the house? We’d love a tour.
