American parties were absolutely nothing like the stiff and boring soirees I was used to back home in Valta.

They were so much better.

At one point, I’d joined a few of the baseball players in jumping off the roof onto a blown-up mattress. And then we all danced on the furniture in the sitting room. I’d cheered on a fight between two guys wrestling in the backyard, and then I’d joined the fellas comparing their bicep muscles in front of an audience of adoring ladies. That was to say nothing about the food. And there were at least ten different varieties of crisps being served in the kitchen, none of which ever would’ve made an appearance at a royal Valtanese event. I grabbed a cupful of something bright and orange colored and made my way into the dining room where Jeremy and his pals entertained themselves by tossing a little orange ping pong ball back and forth over the table, aiming for a set of red plastic cups on each end.

Each time I passed by, Jeremy would try to pull me into the game, but honestly, watching was much more fun. Plus, the fact that Richard was waiting to report everything I did back to my father was just enough of a motivator not to totally lose my cool. Yet.

The guys were getting louder and more rambunctious with each round they played. All one had to do was perch on the nearest stool and watch the drama unfold. It was amazingly entertaining. Everyone was having a blast—everyone, except for one.

Tori.

If there was one blemish on my experience of life as an American teenager, it was Tori. She hadn’t been kidding when she said this wasn’t her kind of scene. While I’d been having all sorts of wild fun, she’d fluttered from room to room at Jeremy’s home, her face stricken with worry. At one point, she rescued a glass vase from a terrible fate when a scuffle broke out in the den. Another time, I saw her forcibly pull a red cup out of Jeremy’s hand and replace it with a clear cup filled with what I could only guess was water. The look he gave her had nearly made me spit out my snack. Tori hadn’t paid him any mind. She’d simply gone on to babysitting the next fool in her path.

It was no wonder she’d agreed so quickly to my plan at the beginning of the week. She was used to babysitting her peers.

“Hey, handsome, how’s it going?” Tori’s friend, Erin, slid into the seat next to me. She had her own red plastic cup, and she took a generous swig of it before shooting me a smile. “Have we bent you to our ways yet?”

“Completely and thoroughly,” I said, toasting her with my cup of snacks. This was exactly why I’d come to America. After that thrilling basketball game and this party, I was thoroughly and hopelessly bent to the ways of the normal American teenager. Henry and Father probably thought I was holed up somewhere, bored out of my mind.
