My backyard was swarming with Sweet Mountain High students before the sun even set. Now, as the sun sank below the horizon, and a cacophony of music, laughter and loud talking surrounded me, I eyed the back door to my house where kids kept streaming in.

Still no sight of her.

“You look hilarious, man,” one of the guys from my team called out as I leaned back against the gazebo railing. My mom had taken my little sister out for dinner and a movie so she wouldn’t ruin the vibe.

My buddies always said I had a cool mom—she was the mom that never cared when people crashed or how many parties we held at the pool house and in her backyard. Just as long as my plans didn’t interfere with her active social life at the country club, she didn’t care what I did…at all.

So yeah, I guessed that made me lucky?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

“Where’d you even get that suit?” Claire asked when she headed past me to grab a drink from the outdoor fridge.

I looked down with a smirk. “Ordered it online, obviously.”

“Looks like it could’ve been your grandpa’s,” she laughed.

Maybe my great-grandpa’s, even. Baby blue and totally ridiculous, my suit was straight out of the fifties. I adjusted my thick black frames with no lenses and ran a hand over my slicked-back hair.

I had to say, as far as costumes went, mine was rather inspired. Kate and I were hosting this together, right? I figured if I’d started those jokes at her expense, I might as well take back ownership. Kate would show up looking like…well, looking like Kate. And she and I would turn the joke around, make it our own.

At least, that was the plan.

I heard a guy behind me let out a whistle. “Whoa, who’s that?”

It took me too long to figure out who he was referring to, but the moment I spotted the girl in black, I knew it was her. The hottie with the long blonde hair was heading straight for me and—

Oh my…

No way.

“Is that—” someone started to say beside me.

“Kate Andrews,” I finished.

But this was Kate Andrews as we’d never seen her before. Gone was the bubbly smile—that was oddly the first thing I registered. I mean, sure, her looks were…crazy.

Crazy hot.

She looked incredible. But it was the lack of that perma-smile that had me blinking to make sure this was Kate.

“Who are you supposed to be?” she asked when she reached me.

“I—uh—I—” I couldn’t speak. I’d officially lost the ability to put two words together, let alone form a sentence.

Holy crap, Kate Andrews was hot. I always knew she was pretty, cute, adorable…take your pick. But hot?

I’d had no idea.

Those big blue eyes blinked up at me, and her pink lips curved up in a smirk. “You like the new look?”

Yes. Holy cow, yes! Too much yes.

I cleared my throat. “You look incredible.”

Something flickered in her eyes, and I was horrified to think it might be…disappointment. I hurried to add, “You’re always beautiful, Kate, but this…”

She heaved a deep breath.
