a bad person. I just had a little daydream, and now it was over.

“Well, it’s been about four weeks, from what I can tell,” Corinne said.

“How do you know all this?” I asked, laughing.

“I would tell you that I’m mysterious and know all, but we both know it’s because of Pacey.”

“Okay, yeah, that’s true,” I agreed, laughing.

“Anyway, they met at the house party I tried to get you to go to. The one you declined. And they’ve been together ever since, I guess. It’s only a few weeks in, and it’s Mandy, who has told us all that she doesn’t want anything serious and wants to be free and happy. And more power to her. She should be able to sleep with whoever she wants as long as it’s consensual and happy. She shouldn’t be put in a little corner of marriage and possibilities. Just because she isn’t a man, doesn’t mean she can’t have sex whenever she wants.”

I cringed as other people looked around. Corinne wasn’t exactly quiet.

“Good for her, you’re right,” a woman said from the table beside us.

Corinne waved. “Thank you.”

“Seriously, though, it shouldn’t just be men who are allowed to go out and have casual sex. Everybody should have the option if they so desire.”

“I’ll talk all about casual sex if you want,” a guy said from the other end of the line.

The woman at the table rolled her eyes. “Nice try, honey.”

“Anybody should have as much sex as they possibly can and feel like,” Corinne said. “As long as we’re talking about consent.”

“Amen,” four different women in line said, and I knew I was blushing from head to toe.

“I swear, you love putting me at the center of these conversations,” I mumbled.

“Just a little,” Corinne said, beaming.

“Anyway…” I whispered furiously as the others went back to their original conversations. “I’m glad Mandy seems happy.”

“I’m sure you are, and you should also know that Pacey doesn’t think they’re going to last much longer because Mandy’s already thinking about this guy named Jeff.”

I blinked again. “Okay, I’m seriously a little worried about how Gossip Girl you’re sounding.”

“X O X O,” she whispered, and I laughed. “Seriously, though,” my best friend continued, “that is Dillon Connolly. And he seems quite dreamy.”

“He’s not for me. But he has a nice smile.”

“Well, it took us this many years for you to notice a guy’s smile. Since you did, I think you’re on the right track. By the time we hit our dotage, you may get laid again.”

I growled under my breath, even as I blushed harder. The guy in front of us finally turned, his dark hair pushed back from his face, his eyes piercing.

“I was trying to ignore your conversation, but now I can’t,” he began.

“I’m not sleeping with you,” I said quickly and then shut my mouth.

The guy looked at us and then laughed. “Okay, good to know. By the way, I’m Tanner. I live with Pacey and Dillon.”

“Oh,” I said, mortified.

“I’ve heard about you. It’s nice to meet you. I’m Corinne.”

“Hello, Corinne. And you must be Elise.”

“Hello,” I mumbled.

“We’re having another house party in a few weeks, right after the first set of exams. You two should come.”

I shook my head vigorously, in desperate need of a rock to hide under in my embarrassment. “I don’t think I should.”

“No, I think you should come along. You never know what could happen at a party. A night can change everything.”

I met this gaze, then looked over at Corinne. I knew I wasn’t going to get out of this. Because my best friend had plans, and so did this stranger, apparently. I was screwed.

“What kind of party?” I asked finally.

Corinne smiled, delight in her eyes. “The best. If Sanders and Pacey are throwing it, it means there will be booze, merriment, exhibition, and dares.”

I froze. “Dares?”

Corinne just grinned. “Yes, Elise. Dares. As in… I have a feeling if you let me, Truth or Dare might take on a whole new meaning.”

Well, crap.
