EXCERPT
My jaw dropped. “What?
You can’t just—just go around, calling other people’s families!” I
spluttered. “Besides, I have homework!”
“You’re such a nerd,”
Parker complained. “Stop stressing. It’ll be fun. Besides, it won’t take that
long.” He paused. “Actually, knowing Adri, it’ll take very long.”
I crossed my arms
over my chest, disgruntled. “What will be fun.?”
Parker came to a stop
and pointed at something out the window. I followed his gaze and gasped when I
saw the huge, gleaming private jet idling on the tarmac we were currently
parked by.
“That will be.”
“A jet?” I couldn’t
help but be a bit awed at the sight. This was the first time I’ve ever seen a
private jet outside of my living room TV. am“Why—why
do we need a jet?”
Parker turned off the
engine. “Homecoming’s coming up and Adri decided it’s time to find an outfit,”
he explained. “And since you’re my girlfriend now, you can’t exactly go to
homecoming in any old dress from the mall.”
I stared at him
warily. “So where are we going?”
“Relax.” He ruffled my hair. “We’re just taking a short trip
to New York.”
