“Oh. My. Groot,” I murmur as Allegra and I climb out of her car and stare up at the palatial Camps Bay home.

Allegra looks at me. “What’s Groot? Oh, is that the new clothing line we saw at YDE?” She frowns. “No, wait, that was …” She shakes her head. “Never mind. So not important right now. This house. THIS. HOUSE. Oh my EVERYTHING.”

‘Oh my everything’ sums it up pretty well. I’m so in awe of this house I can’t even laugh at Allegra for mistaking my Guardians of the Galaxy reference for a clothing line. Nestled into the hillside rising behind Camps Bay, with a spectacular panoramic view of the ocean and surrounding mountains, it’s the kind of house that gets featured in glossy magazines along with a price tag at least five times the average person’s income for their entire working career. “Thank goodness we didn’t come in my car,” I whisper to Allegra as a group of people walk past us to the entrance.

She laughs. “I know, right? Wow. Freaking wow. We are eternally in Logan’s debt.”

Logan the Legend is the one who actually knows Royson Graves, so it was Logan who told Jackson and the rest of my group of friends to come along. We’re apparently part of a select few freshmen who’ve been invited. Charlotte couldn’t come, though, much to Allegra’s delight. She had a flight home this afternoon—and was apparently horribly disappointed to be missing out on this epic party.

“When’s Jackson getting here?” Allegra asks.

“Oh, in an hour or two I think. He had some stuff to do.”

“Cool, well let’s get inside. I don’t want to miss another second.”

We do our sexy walks across the driveway and into the house, where the vibe is similar to The Banana Pearl, but a thousand times classier. All the beautiful people are here, mingling with drinks in their hands, or—as we move further into the house—dancing to music that’s loud enough to really feel the beat but not so loud I’m worried my ears will be permanently damaged. The lights are dim, the holiday is here, I’m feeling happy and confident, and I am ready to DANCE.

“Hey!” Amber and Courtney call out and wave from the balcony where they’re sitting on two white-cushioned loungers surrounded by a bunch of guys I don’t know. Two weeks ago, they were apparently ‘on Charlotte’s side’ and not talking to Allegra, but Allegra’s been using her confidence and supreme socialite skills—as well as me and my connection to Logan—to show them that to be friends with Allegra is to be on the fun side of the island. It didn’t take them long to come running back.

Allegra smiles and flips her hair, but doesn’t stop to say anything as we saunter past Amber and Courtney. Because, of course, it’s all about letting them know that they need her and not the other way around. It makes me want to shake my head and laugh, because she clearly didn’t hear anything I said about maturity.
