“Something to remember me by?” Though I had hints from Valentine of Trevor’s inner desire for me, I was still suspect. I never knew what was going on in Trevor’s head, much less his heart. I wasn’t even sure he had one. Trevor was gorgeous—there was no doubt about it. His green melt-worthy eyes and his chiseled face could easily make him the next Sports Illustrated cover boy. But I was never sure if Trevor really liked me or just liked bullying me. Either way, he didn’t move out of my way and instead leaned into me. There was only one guy I was going to kiss and that was Alexander.

I pushed my hand to his chest.

Trevor leered at me with a sexy grin. The more I fought back, the more he liked it. I was Trevor’s ultimate soccer opponent and he was always desperate for one more game.

I paused for a moment and gazed up at the guy who’d tormented me since kindergarten. Trevor was really the only person who paid attention to me at school, besides Becky. I wasn’t sure I wouldn’t miss seeing him every day, too.

“I’ll give you something to remember me by,” I said. “The back of my head.”

I pushed past him and escaped through the door to freedom.

I stepped out of Dullsville High and into the bright glare of the sun.

The year was behind me. Overall, it had been the best year of my life, for I’d met, dated, danced, and fallen in love with Alexander Sterling.

Students were walking home or getting into their daddies’ overpriced luxury cars, heading off to begin their months of fun in the sun with people just like them. I’d spent a whole school year surrounded by people like Trevor.

My nemesis really forced me into seeing the light. It was time for me to be with people of my own kind. I wasn’t going to spend my summer sans Alexander, much less another day.

There was only one thing keeping me and Alexander apart now. Me.
