really downtown, and Liesel liked that about him.
    â€œWhat are you doing here?” she asked. “We’re pretty far from your scene.”
    â€œHuh?” Arno looked almost hurt that she had said this. “You invited me. Don’t you remember?”
    â€œOh, did I? I invited so many people,” Liesel said breezily. “But I’m glad you’re here.”
    â€œAnyway, I just wanted to say I’m really pissed that my friend stole your horse,” Arno went on, in the same weird, earnest voice. “I just wanted to make sure you were, you know, okay. And say that I was sorry. That whole stunt Mickey pulled was really childish.”
    â€œOh,” Liesel said coyly, trying to think of what had changed about Arno since the winter, when they’d last hooked up. “Is that why you’re here? It’s okay. It’s not your fault. And anyway, that wasn’t
my
horse. I just borrowed it for the day.”
    â€œUm, so you’re not upset?” Arno said. He shifted like he wasn’t sure how to act anymore.
    â€œWhatever,” Liesel said. “Get over here.”
    Liesel was, after all, the daughter of people who hadmade an art out of collecting art. And other precious objects. She didn’t waste time. When Arno hesitated for a minute, she grabbed his ironic first season

T-shirt and pulled him so that he was basically forced to push her against the wood-paneled wall of the ladies’ room. He hesitated again, so she put his hands in place and started kissing him ferociously.
    They made out for another ten minutes, in which Liesel remembered how much she liked making out with Arno, and also how great they looked together, which must have been why he’d made her invite list, and then she detached herself.
    â€œWe’d better go back into the party,” she said forcefully, because Arno didn’t seem quite ready yet. “People will start to talk.”
    â€œYeah,” Arno said, brushing his dark mop of hair into place. “Sorry.”
    Liesel tossed back her head and laughed, because really, sometimes the weirdest things came out of Arno’s pretty mouth. “Don’t be
sorry.
That was hot.”
    She turned and started to fix her mascara in the mirror, and then redid the buttons of her dress. When Arno didn’t say anything, she went on, “You’re acting different somehow, but you can’t deny that you still want it. We make a steaming hot couple.”
    Arno shrugged and leaned his long frame against thewall. “I’m a different person since we last, you know … I’ve been trying to change. Not be so shallow. I guess I just don’t know if… ”
    Liesel didn’t hear the rest of what Arno was saying, because she was laughing with her whole body now. Feelings were nice and everything, but she didn’t usually have time for them. “Oh Awno,” she said, when she managed to calm down. “That was a good one.” She refocused in the mirror for a minute, drawing her fingers over her perfect skin to make sure it was still perfect.
    Then she met Arno’s dark eyes in the mirror. He was staring at her, he couldn’t help it, and for a moment she just stared back. Then suddenly she remembered inviting him and realized why it had seemed so important to do so. “Wildenbuwger, you should just accept your fate now.”
    Arno stared back at her like he had no idea what she was talking about.
    â€œ
Me,
Awno,” Liesel said, cracking a smile. “I am so totally your fate.”
    Then she went back to reapplying mascara.

    Once I got over the shock of seeing Jonathan’s new girlfriend, and realizing that she was a totally self-serious boring kind of girl, and not at all like the exciting girl I would soon become, I started to really enjoy my brother’s friend’s exgirlfriend’s sweet sixteen party. I mean, a party
