thrived on it. It worked out well for all of us this way. The six of us together rule the school.”
    The detective nods like he knows what we’re talking about, but I can tell he’s clueless. “Okay, well I guess if you’re all insistent on going to the party tonight, I will have to have an officer stationed there.”
    “NO!” We all three say at the same time.
    Mostly because of what goes on at Luke’s parties.
    Underage drinking.
    Occasionally people will smoke weed.
    Detective Condie raises an eyebrow. “You realize that one of your best friends got kidnapped at the last party. This could easily be one of you three tonight.”
    “Well, it won’t be. My brother will be there. And my boyfriend. I’m pretty sure after what happened last time, they won’t let me out of their sight. Fran and Cass will stick with me,” I tell him. “We definitely won’t be separating this time.”
    Frannie and Cassidy both nod enthusiastically.
    “You three are being ridiculous.”
    I lean forward. “Look, Detective… I know you were a teenager once. Sometimes… at parties… we do stuff that you probably wouldn’t agree with.”
    He smirks. “I’m not trying to bust anybody for underage drinking. I’m trying to bring two girls back home to their families. I’ll make sure the guys I station there are inconspicuous. Nobody will get in trouble, I assure you.”
    “Are you serious?” My mouth falls open.
    “Completely,” he promises. “But word to the wise — the three of you better stay sober tonight. If anything goes down, I need you all to have a clear head.”
    “Deal.” We all agree.
    Wow.
    A cop just agreed to turn a blind eye to something illegal.
    I’ve seen it all.

    5pm
    Absolute perfection.

    “You’re not going,” Trey says, following me around my room as I get ready for the party. Jace is sitting on my bed, not saying a word. I can tell by the look on his face that he agrees with Trey, but he knows better than to say anything.
    “Yes, I am.” I walk into my closet and pull out two different dresses. I hold them both up. “Which one?”
    Jace points to the shorter one, and Trey points to the longer one. I put the longer one back in my closet.
    “I’m serious, Madeline. You’re not going.”
    “Yes, I am. And unless you want to see me in my bra and thong, I suggest you get out of my room.”
    Trey narrows his eyes. “I’m not leaving. And neither are you.”
    I shrug and slip out of my jeans and tank top. Before I can even slip my dress over my head, Trey runs over to Jace and covers his eyes with his hands.
    “Geez, Madi. I didn’t mean you were supposed to strip down in front of Jace.”
    I roll my eyes. “He’s seen my boobs before anyway. Besides, I don’t care. He’s my boyfriend.”
    I slip the dark blue dress over my head, and Trey scoffs.
    “Are you sure that isn’t Hailee’s dress?” he asks. “It’s way too short.”
    I look at Jace who is mouthing “ Hot ” behind Trey.
    “I’m sure.” I pat Trey’s shoulder. “Chill, dude.”
    “I am chill.”
    I walk past him and sit beside Jace on the bed.
    “God, Madi. I’m going to have gray hair before I even graduate high school,” Trey says. “I will definitely not be letting you out of my sight tonight. Not only do I have to worry about guys not being able to keep their hands off you, I also have to worry about somebody kidnapping you.”
    “Jace will be there,” I say, waving my hand. “Nobody will touch me with him there.”
    “He’s the one I’m worried about.”
    Jace laughs and pulls me onto his lap. “Dude, I’m so not going to let you stop me from touching her.”
    “Whatever,” Trey says, walking toward my door. “I’m going to go get ready for the party. Keep the door open.”
    “No. Trey, shut it,” I tell him. “Since Ben is living here now, I want my door shut and locked at all times. I don’t want that creep anywhere near me.”
    “I’m telling you — gray hair.” Trey walks out and
