just earned half the student body’s respect.”
    “And the other half?” I asked slowly making my way back to Monroe.
    “…Follow the Elect and will stop at nothing to destroy you.” He stopped me with his hand and turned me to face him.
    “And whose side are you on, Chase?”
    His eyes examined mine for a brief second before he tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear. “I always side with the pretty girls.”
    I waited for him to say, “And that’s not you.” But instead he held up my hand and kissed it, then walked off.
    People around me began whispering. My mouth must have dropped open because suddenly my throat felt dry.
    Monroe found me within seconds. “Hell, I think my brother almost choked on his tongue. Nice work, Boots.”
    “Boots?”
    “Yeah, it’s your new nickname.”
    “Why?”
    “Because you moo’d in front of the entire student body and I can’t very well call you a cow. But when I think of farms I think of cowboy boots. So Boots, yup, Boots.”
    Nice logic. “Alright then, Boots it is.” I shrugged.
    “He’s going to shit himself.” Monroe looked all too pleased as Nixon finished making his speech. Applause erupted when he finished, and we were dismissed to the party.
    “What now?” I asked Monroe.
    “Now…” She grabbed my hand. “We dance.”

Chapter Five
    I should have known that Elite wouldn’t do anything half ass and that a college dance and welcome party was anything but that in their eyes. It may as well been prom, or a coronation ball, or the Oscars. Seriously.
    The auditorium had holograms playing across the ceiling and dancing along the walls. The music played to the shapes on the wall and a music video of some band was playing toward the far wall where the dance floor was located.
    Everything was in black light and I half expected someone famous to pop out on stage and start a concert.
    “Cool, huh?” Monroe nudged me. “Let’s get something to drink.”
    I followed her to the food and couldn’t close my mouth even if I wanted to. Everything was in ice. And I mean everything. Tons of desserts I’d never seen before were placed on and around ice sculptures. Toward the end of the table was a type of blue waterfall with glasses lined around it.
    “Elixir of the gods,” Monroe yelled above the music. She had two plates in hand and had piled on pieces of chocolate-covered fruit and desserts in no time. We made our way toward the blue stuff. She picked up two champagne glasses and filled them full.
    Maybe it was some sort of punch?
    We found a table and sat.
    “Try it.” She pointed to the punch and grinned.
    It looked harmless. I took a big swig and began coughing wildly.
    “What? They don’t have alcohol in Wyoming?” An irritating voice said from behind me.
    The four Elect were standing right next to our table. Each of them smiling at my misfortune.
    “Yes, but when you drink underage you get arrested, smart ass.” I put the glass down and grabbed a chocolate-covered strawberry. At least I knew that was safe.
    “There is no law here,” Nixon said, pulling out the chair on my other side. “And if there was a law, I’d be the sheriff, judge, and jury.”
    “Good for you.”
    I knew the rules. I patted him on the arm anyway.
    Much to Monroe’s amusement. She chuckled next to me.
    Tex held out his hand. “May I have this dance?”
    Monroe blushed and took his hand. “Don’t kill my brother, Trace.”
    “I will try to control my urges.” I saluted.
    “Oh, I wish you wouldn’t.” Chase plopped down next to me and smirked.
    “Leave!” Nixon yelled this. Both Phoenix and Chase left the table.
    “Why’d you do that?” I gave him a pointed look.
    “Because he shouldn’t be flirting with you.” Nixon shrugged and plucked a strawberry off my plate.
    I felt myself blush. “He wasn’t flirting.”
    “Yes, he was.” Nixon stole another strawberry.
    “No.” I smacked his hand sending the strawberry to the floor. “He wasn’t. He was just
