“It’s Friday. Please tell me you’re planning on clubbing or at least throwing a beer bong party in the middle of some vineyard,” Andris said, sliding beside me, his boy toy Roger by his side.

“I have swim practice. Then I plan on going to bed early.”

Andris sighed. “How can someone so hot lead such a boring life?” I was sure he was saying that for his friend’s benefit. “Roger, is there anything happening anywhere tonight?”

Roger shook his head. “Geoff is having a Minecraft tourney at his place.”

Andris chuckled and touched Roger’s cheek. “You know I don’t go for those kinds of games. We need to go out and have some serious fun. How about it, Cora? Pick a place. L. A. Connection or Bill’s Taproom, the new bar on 8th North.”

“Sorry. I have a meet tomorrow morning, so it’s early to bed for me.”

“What? Where?” His eyes narrowed. “How early is this meet? If I have to get out of bed for you, Echo will owe me.”

“Who is Echo?” Roger asked.

“The guy she has a crush on. The reason she’s being Miss Goody Two-Shoes. She doesn’t know that’s not the way to keep someone like Echo interested.”

If a glare could kill, he’d be plant food. “The meet is here, and you don’t have to be there, douchebag. I don’t want you to. And FYI, I don’t have a crush on him,” I added through clenched teeth. “Oh, and your services are not needed this evening either. Go clubbing or partying for all I care.” I exited the building, but Andris was right behind me.

“Wait up, Cora,” he said.

I ignored him.

“Okay, I’ll apologize. Stop stomping like Attila the Hun. Girls are supposed to glide.”

I stopped and turned. “You do know when you piss someone off, you are supposed to apologize, not hurl more insults.”

He raised his hands in mock surrender and smirked.

I cocked my eyebrows. “I’m still waiting for an apology.”

“Which part pissed you off? The crush, Miss Goody Two-Shoes, or keeping a certain Grimnir interested.”

The anger drained out of me. I couldn’t stay mad at him no matter how often he pissed me off. He was cute and had been great the whole week. Besides, I loved his snarkiness. “Forget it.”

“Now I need a hug. Come here.” He extended his hands toward me.

I rolled my eyes and gave him a hug. His hand crept lower. “You touch my butt, Andris, and I’ll knee you so hard your jewels will lodge in your throat.”

Grinning, he stepped back. “Okay, no need to turn me into a eunuch. Come on. I’ll take you to the pool and stick around until you’re safe at home. Again. What time is the meet tomorrow?”

“Early. It’s okay. I’m going with Raine.” Raine had been studying with her Valkyrie instructor after school, so we hadn’t hung out, but she had off today. She caught up with us before we reached my car.

“Roger is waiting for you, Andris,” she said.

“I know. Isn’t he adorable? Are you really babysitting Cora this evening?”

“Babysitting?” Raine and I said at the same time.
