I look into the camera, testing a crooked smile before clicking the button. I lower my phone to assess the picture, deciding that it’s garbage. I try another, this one with my cleavage in the shot. Oh, yeah. That’s definitely it.
I add a caption:
Getting ready to crush these lame PhysEd credits. Should I do swim, bball, or track?

The bench in front of the gym is nice. It’s a warm day for March—warm enough that I’ve abandoned my sweater in favor of undoing a few buttons on my uniform. I get a couple instant responses from people who don’t even go here, so I’m scrolling down my ChattySnap when a group of people walk by.
I look up, realizing who it is.
It’s The Devils, capital T, capital D.
They ignore me, of course. As they should. I’m just a freshman, and they’re all juniors. Well, not just juniors. They’re some of the most popular people in school. Athletic. Smart. Rich.
Just then, one of them makes eye contact with me. Heston Wilcox. Oh, god. He’s so ridiculously handsome that my heart instantly starts pitter-pattering. It beats even harder when his steps falter, slowing.
“Hey, you’re Georgia, right?” he asks.
I nod, holding back an inner, girlish, squeal at the fact he knows my name. My name! “Uh, yeah. Hi!” I feel a little cringe at the excitement in my voice, but he just walks back a step, facing me.
Heston’s lips tilt into a wry smirk. “You busy tonight?”
I feel a hot blush creep up my cheeks. “Er… me?” A couple of his friends wait nearby, and my eyes dart over. They’re all Devils. Hamilton Bates, Ansel Davenport, Emory Hall. There’s a girl tucked under Hamilton’s arm. Her name is Campbell, but I’m not sure if that’s a first or last lame.
“Yes, you,” he says with a little laugh, amusement dancing in this ocean blue eyes.
I push my shoulders back, trying to adopt a façade of perfect cool. “No, I’m not busy tonight.”
He lifts his chin. “I’m having a party. You should come.”
Holy shit! Heston Wilcox is inviting me to a party! I stammer out, “To your house?”
“Yep.”
Blush deepening, I admit, “I don’t have a ride.”
He glances over at the guys, eyes zeroed in. “Campbell can give you a ride. Isn’t that right, Cam?”
Campbell scowls, obviously not pleased at someone telling her what to do, but Hamilton leans down and whispers something into her ear. Whatever he says is enough to smooth her expression. She gives me a look and calls out, “Meet me by the parking lot at eight.”
“S-sure,” I stutter, trying to look casual as I cross my legs. “Yeah. Sounds great.”
They walk off, just like that—as if Heston Wilcox hadn’t just socially anointed me.
