He lied to me.

Chad promised me everything would stay exactly the same before we started high school, on the same sacred spot my mother took me to picnic in Central Park. I believed every word that came out of his gorgeous mouth that day, but each empty promise was nothing more than well-intentioned lies to soothe my anxious heart.

Our freshman year at Pembroke High should have been the beginning of something epic in our lives. A new milestone we would face together, like all the ones we had conquered before. Since I could remember, it had always been me and Chad against the world, so why would attending Pembroke High be any different?

But it was.

And all because of him.

Instead of only having to deal with Saint sporadically when I visited Chad’s house, the black-haired heathen became a permanent fixture in my everyday life. There was no way of avoiding him. He was everywhere.

In the hallways.

In class.

In the cafeteria.

In the library.

Even when I had to do my sisterly duty and cheer the twins on at their swim meets, I found myself having to be supportive of his athletic accomplishments, too. Saint was everywhere, and as much as I tried, I couldn’t escape him. The only way I’d be done with the pest would be if I let him have what was mine—Chad.

And no way was I going to let him go without a fight.

It served me right, though.

I underestimated his importance. I thought he was just going to be a phase in our lives, yet he became the very center of them. Everywhere I turned, there he was.

Saint.

Saint.

Saint!

Argh!

In my Lit class, we studied Dante’s Inferno and his Nine Circles of Hell. The whole time the class debated which circle was worse, I couldn’t help but envy Dante Alighieri and his naiveté. Because if he had to endure a whole damn year of having to put up with this school’s lovefest over Santiago García as I have, then he’d reconsider his beliefs on what constitutes a hellish experience.

The only person who didn’t seem to jump on the Santiago bandwagon was none other than my other nemesis, Trevor Manning.

What’s that saying?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend?

Yeah, that’ll never happen.

As much as Saint gets on my last nerve, Trevor makes my skin crawl. He’s only grown more bitter and resentful of my family throughout the years. God knows why, though. It’s not like the Mannings don’t have a presence of their own in this school. Lace took to high school like a fish to water, with Kim as her trusty sidekick, ruling over their popular freshmen clique. Even Trevor has made a name for himself on the football field, showing off his letterman jacket every chance he got as if it’s some kind of trophy. Still, the way his ominous gaze leers over at my brothers and me has me on high alert any time he’s near. The only person he hates more than us Graysons is Saint. And that’s probably
