“We can buy you a new one tomorrow.” Caden turns toward Jason’s.

“When?” I tick off everything we have left to do tomorrow. “Pee wee football. Meeting with the coach. Making sure Harper has the best Homecoming dance ever.”

“She’s never been, so this will be the best one.” Caden chuckles.

“It means we need to make sure it’s unforgettable.” I look down at my hands. Do I feel bad that Harper didn’t attend things in the past? Only a little. She made her choice. She decided that it wasn’t worth attracting our attention. “We don’t have time to tailor a new suit.”

“Fine, but we go to your house before the pee wee football. That way we can be in and out.” Caden shakes his head like this is stupid.

It probably is, but my father hasn’t reached out since we left. Penny’s mom has been a no show too. But Penny says that’s not uncommon. We’re both unlucky byproducts of William Foster.

“She’s going to look beautiful.” Caden’s words are soft.

“She always looks beautiful.” There’s something about Harper that catches all my attention now. Usually with a girl, we fuck a few times, and I’m over it. It was easy to just go back to the same girl when I needed someone to fuck. I pick girls who are low drama.

With the exception of Sidney, that is.

But with Harper, she’s all I want.

“He’ll come for her tomorrow.” Caden pulls over on the street to park behind the long line of cars at the party. “Even if he’s banned from the dance.”

I run a hand through my hair. “I know. We can’t leave her alone.”

“We won’t.”

Caden and I get out of the car and head up the hill to Jason’s house. The place is practically bursting at the seams, it’s so full of teenagers. We make it to the front door after greeting some guys and talking for a few.

The purpose tonight is to be seen and figure out where things went wrong. Yes, our attention was focused on Harper, but something happened before then. Zach might have been stepping into our spot while we weren’t looking, but he had a reason.

A sin.

We just need to figure out what that was. We’ve never come at him directly that we know of. But there are a lot of girls he could have had a crush on who we took out from under him.

“We need a list of the virgins,” I say to Caden.

He arches his eyebrow at me.

“Not current, but the ones we took. Zach wanted to take Harper’s virginity before us. Maybe that’s the link we need.”

Caden chews on that for a moment and then nods.

Girls giggle as they pass us. One even drags her hand down my arm and gives me a look like she wouldn’t mind if I pinned her up against the wall. I ignore her. There’s only one girl I’m interested in.

The overflowing house is as packed as the yard. I could text Nico to find them, but he probably wouldn’t hear his phone. The house mix on the stereo blasts loud. I’m surprised no one’s called in a complaint to the police.

Caden taps my arm and changes direction. We head outside and find Jack and Emma in a group of football players.

“Hey!” the guys yell as they notice us. They come up and offer their fists to bump. These are our teammates.

Mike Cook moves to the front. “Eli says we’re fighting tonight.”

Caden smiles wickedly. “You think you can take me, Cook?”

Mike laughs. “Hell, no. But we need to make sure faces are off the menu. I got a hot date tomorrow and don’t want a shiner.”

He glances back at Emma, who smiles at him.

Caden grabs Mike’s jaw. “You afraid we’ll mess up this pretty face?”
