“Fucking Seth,” she slurs.
“They’re roommates. Best friends since their freshman year.”
She scoffs. “Well, that’s a twist.”
“After beer pong, I saw you flirting with him, so I went outside to get some air.”
“Oh…” Jenna cants her head as she puts it all together. “So, that’s why he ignored all my signals. He was totally crushing on you.”
“A little bit.”
“And I didn’t even notice that you liked him. Man, I’m a horrible friend.”
“A little bit,” I joke.
She sneers. “Continue, please.”
“Drew followed me outside and offered to walk me home. Bobby arrived around that time, so I figured you’d be busy with him the rest of the night and wouldn’t mind me bailing — especially not when a cute boy offered to walk me home.”
“You made the right call.”
“He walked me home, and then…” I lick my lips. “He kissed me on the porch.”
Jenna swoons. “You made out with a model,” she says.
“I made out with a model.”
“I’m so proud of you. Like a mama bird pushing the chick out of the nest for the first time. Flapping your little baby wings.”
“I can’t see him ever again, though.”
“And there’s the crushing parental disappointment.” She huffs. “Why the hell not?”
“He’s Seth’s best friend,” I remind her.
“Oh, fuck Seth!” she says. “You owe nothing to that guy and everything to yourself. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.”
“I know, but… Seth apologized to me. And he was sincere about it. We might actually have a shot at a normal brother-sister relationship now. I can’t date his roommate.”
“Heidi, we’re talking about a beautiful boy who obviously likes you who’s not a total weirdo like most of the guys who’ve been into you, let’s just be honest here.”
“You’ll get no argument from me,” I say.
“Drew is fit and hot and in a fraternity — and not just any fraternity. He’s Delta Xi which is like... the Mensa of hot as fuck frat guys.”
“He is pretty hot.”
“And you’re just going to throw that away because your bully of a brother will throw a bitch fit over it? Not on my watch, Heidi Newbury. Not on my watch!”
I smirk. “You’re getting worked up about this.”
“Because you refuse to see the amazing opportunity being presented here!”
“And that is?”
“Two words. Three syllables. A thousand possibilities.” Jenna leans forward. “Secret. Fling.”
“Oh, no.” I lean back. “No, no, no. I can’t do that.”
