off talking to Taylor.”
    â€œI asked Khloe if she’d seen you, but she was dancing with Zack and they were making googly eyes at each other. Totally not helpful.”
    â€œI was gone at least half an hour,” I said. “What happened after you talked to Khloe?”
    Someone turned down the music, and Lexa stepped closer. “Clare found me. She told me that Drew had asked her about you and she’d lied to him.”
    â€œLied how?”
    â€œClare had seen you and a guy she’d assumed was Drew go outside. But since Drew was standing in front of her and looking for you, Clare realized you’d left with another guy.”
    I groaned. “This is so bad!”
    â€œIt could have been. Clare saved you—she told Drew that a group of your friends from English class had dragged you off on a carriage ride. Perfect timing, because the carriage was actually gone.”
    â€œDid Drew see me outside?”
    Lexa shook her head. “Don’t think so. Clare wrangled Khloe away from Zack for a few minutes and told her the deal. Khlo managed to get Zack and Drew into a show-off at who was better at pool.”
    â€œSo I made it back in time before—”
    â€œFound you!”
    I jumped at the voice behind me. I whirled around to see a wide-eyed, unmasked Drew.
    â€œSorry I scared you, Lauren,” he said. “Was the haunted trail ride really spooky?”
    My mouth was dry. I had to tell him about Taylor, and my friends didn’t even know the whole story.
    â€œYeah, Lauren got out of the carriage after the ride was over and tracked me down to say I might have gone a teensy bit overboard with the glowing-eyed bats.” Lexa smiled at Drew and made a mock you’re a total wimp face at me.
    â€œHappy birthday,” Drew said. “I got here late and then couldn’t find you. I’m glad I finally did.”
    He took a step closer, and I could smell his body wash’s hint of grapefruit.
    â€œMe too,” I said. “I’m so happy you came.”
    Lexa tipped her head and took a step back, smiling. “I’ll see you two later.”
    She was gone, leaving me to tell Drew what had happened tonight.

YOUR WISH ISN ’ T COMING TRUE
    I STARED INTO DREW’S EYES. THEY LOOKED shades bluer tonight—if that was even possible.
    â€œYou look beautiful,” Drew said, his eyes not leaving mine. “I’m not sure what kind of dress that’s called, but whatever it is—it’s pretty on you.”
    I laughed. “Thank you, and because you complimented me, I won’t take points off because you didn’t know that I’m wearing a spaghetti-strap dress with a sequin bodice, and if I said the rest, you’d probably be confused for the rest of the night.”
    Drew twisted his mouth into an oops gesture. “Yeah . . . you lost me at ‘spaghetti-strap.’ ”
    â€œI do know what you’re wearing,” I said. “The thin blue pinstripes are great against your white shirt, andI like the black jacket and matching pants.”
    Drew wiped fake sweat off his brow. “Zack and I helped each other. At least I know one of us looks good.” He grinned. “And you haven’t even seen my mask yet.”
    He held up a black mask with silver cross-stitching that covered his face from forehead to chin.
    â€œI love it, but you better keep it off or we’ll lose each other again,” I said. “Here’s mine.” I put my mask up to my face, and Drew’s reaction was exactly what I’d hoped for. A smile spread across his face. He took a quick breath.
    â€œWow,” Drew said. “Lauren, that looks so cool on you.”
    â€œI’m glad you like it,” I said.
    I let my mind wander for a second. I wanted to stay behind my mask and dance in the ballroom.
    â€œWant to dance?” Drew asked.
    â€œLike you read my mind,” I said. “But first,
