The Raiders won. It was the only thing anyone was talking about Monday morning at school. I walked the halls invisible, as kids still rode the high of the win.

“Miley,” a voice called, and I glanced over my shoulder to find Lily and Ashleigh approaching me.

“Hey, Lily. How are you?”

“I’m okay, thanks.” She smiled. “I missed you at the game Friday. Avery scored two touchdowns. He was amazing.”

“Gross, Lil, that’s my brother you’re talking about.” Ashleigh chuckled. “I’m Ashleigh,” she said. “You must be Miley. Lily told me all about you.”

“She did, huh? All good things, I hope.”

“She said you and my brother had some crazy chemistry at Ice T’s.”

“I… really don’t know what to say to that.” I flushed.

“My brother’s never had a girlfriend before.”

“Oh, I’m not his—”

“I know.” She snickered. “But you could be.”

The thought made my stomach clench. But it was a fantasy. Avery didn’t want to talk to me, let alone be with me.

“Oh, I don’t know about that. Your brother isn’t exactly my number one fan.”

“Because of the article you wrote about the team?”

“I see you’ve done your research,” I said.

“I like to know things. But you helped Lily and I think everyone deserves a second chance, so as long as you don’t plan on screwing my brother over again, I think we can be friends.” Ashleigh thrust out her hand.

This was so not how I saw my morning going, but I slid my palm against hers and said, “To new friends.”

Just then, an announcement came over the speaker that Homecoming tickets were on sale. The hall exploded into cheers, but I wasn’t celebrating.

“I can’t wait until we’re old enough for Homecoming,” Ashleigh let out a dreamy sigh.

“Oh, you can go to Homecoming. Anyone can,” I corrected her.

“Yeah, I know, but I mean like go… with a guy. No way my dad will let me go on a date yet.”

“I bet he’d let you go with Ezra.”

“Who’s Ezra?”

“He’s in our class. Ashleigh has a crush on him.” Lily grinned.

“I do not. He’s… not my type.”

“And what type would that be?” My brow arched.

“Ezra is complicated. We hang out sometimes, but he tends to do his own thing. Hey, we should totally go together.” Her face lit up.

“Oh, I don’t think so. I’m not a fan of organized social events.”

“Please, it’ll be fun.” Lily gave me a reassuring nod. It was nice to see her more confident than she had been the other day.

“I’m not sure Avery will want me there.” And he’d no doubt be crowned Homecoming King.

“Who cares what Avery thinks? He won’t want us there either, but that’s not going to stop us.”

“I’ll think about it.”

“Excellent.” Ashleigh clapped. “We should probably get to class.” She grabbed Lily’s hand and started pulling her away. “But it was nice to meet you, Miley, and don’t let my brother be an ass.”

“Oh look, if it isn’t the snitch bitch.”

I turned around to find Kendall Novak glaring at me.

“Oh, hey, Kendall.”

“Why were you talking to Avery’s sister just now?”

“That’s none of your business.
