EXCERPT
Emma pushed Ellie inside the boy’s
dorm room and shut the door behind them.
Ellie’s pulse pounded in every
vein. “This is your plan? To get me kicked out before I have to leave?”
Emma pressed a finger to Ellie’s
lips.
A boy sat up in one of the
beds—tousled brown hair, big, questioning brown eyes, and a confused, endearing
look that squeezed Ellie’s heart.
Edward’s lips quirked up. He laid a
hand over his own heart and said, “I must be dreaming.”
“You’re not,” Emma said.
Footsteps echoed down the hall and
there was a knock several doors down.
“They’re checking the rooms,” Ellie
squealed.
Edward blinked. “Wait, I’m not
dreaming?”
Emma leaned over and pinched him.
He slapped her hand and shrugged off his covers.
Ellie noticed he was wearing a
T-shirt and boxers—just like her. She glanced over to his roommate’s bed but
the figure turned and pushed his head further into the pillow.
Edward reached back to his desk,
grabbed a pen, and chucked it at his roommate’s head.
“What the—” Josh spun around and
rubbed his head, then, seeing the girls, he sat up.
Ellie looked away as she realized
Josh was shirtless, but Emma only leaned in.
It flashed through Ellie’s mind
that she was living the teen dream—staring at a shirtless Josh Wickham in the
flesh instead of just on the big screen. But even without his face blown up
across a movie theater, those infamous dark blue eyes were just as intense
beneath his black hair streaked with blond.
“I didn’t get the memo about the party,” Josh said. Ellie
rolled her eyes—how could Josh wake up with the same flirtatious attitude he
always had?
A knock came on the neighboring
door.
“We need you to hide us,” Emma
said.
Josh lifted up his blanket and
patted the empty side of the bed. “By all means.”
“Can we be serious?” Ellie said.
“We’re all about to get expelled!”
“Not all of us,” Josh said. “I’m a
victim in all this—a willing victim, of course.”
