would never skip this milestone in Hillsdale student history, turn to, VON-METZGER .
    On the other hand, Eleanor Eton’s inauguration is a milestone of another sort, and her outrageous ball is likely to draw a totally different crowd: the social princes and princesses not only of Hillsdale but the whole state of New Jersey. With Alex spending all his free time preparing for it, what should Haley do? Alex already said he’d have no social life until after the ball. But then, there are always ways around that. Haley could socialize with him by working at Mrs. Eton’s headquarters, helping him get ready for the big day. So what if her family disowned her .
    If you think Haley would rather see state politics—and Alex—up close rather than make small talk at a teacher’s house, turn to, POLITICAL PREP .
    You can think big, or you can think small. Of course, the higher you reach, the farther you can fall .

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU
    New Year’s resolutions are meant to be broken.
    â€œH aley, glad you’re here.” Coco barked at her like a general. “Close the door and sit down. We’ve got work to do.”
    It was New Year’s Eve—still a holiday, last Haley checked—and Coco’s large bedroom suite was decked out for a party. There were platters of food and bottles of bubbly, and the guests—Sasha Lewis, Whitney Klein and Cecily Watson, all there for a private girls-only New Year’s Eve soiree—wore glittering clothes and party hats and clutched champagneflutes in their manicured hands. All that was lacking was a festive mood. Haley didn’t feel as if she’d walked into a party; she felt as if she’d just walked into the war room at the Pentagon.
    â€œYou’re involved as much as any of us,” Coco said, waving her cell phone with a picture of Reese and one of his buxom new female friends in Haley’s face. Haley cringed at the painful sight.
    â€œBut I have to admit that knowing those boys as I do, Spencer is probably the worst offender,” Coco went on. “How dare he be so disloyal to me? In front of other people? Obviously you can’t go anywhere or do anything in public that people won’t find out about. Camera phones are everywhere—what moron doesn’t know that? But if he thinks he’s going to get away with this, he’s even more of a devil than I thought. Those boys tricked us into thinking they were going on a wholesome family vacation, and then we see this!”
    She waved another picture at the girls, this one of Spencer licking a blond girl’s stomach. Yecch.
    â€œI want revenge!” Coco cried. Her fine-boned face contorted with anger, but her chic gold-sequined minidress still complemented her curvy frame and brunette hair, carefully highlighted with autumnal reds and golds.
    â€œSlow down, Coco,” Sasha said. “Deep breaths.”
    â€œHow can you be so calm, Sasha?” Coco said. “Look what your boyfriend is doing!”
    Sasha had to turn her face away from a picture of her boyfriend, Johnny Lane, helping one of the girls tie—or untie, it was hard to tell the difference—the string on her bikini top.
    â€œI know, I know,” Sasha said. “Believe me, I’m furious too. But I don’t want to rush into any crazy revenge scenarios. We need to think carefully before we act or we might do something we regret.”
    â€œSasha’s right,” Whitney chimed in.
    Coco mocked her. “‘Sasha’s right.’ Of course you’d say that, Whit. Now that you and Sasha are practically sisters, you’re like her walking echo.”
    Whitney’s mother, Linda Klein, was living with Sasha’s father, Jonathan Lewis. The relationship was looking very serious, so Sasha and Whitney—who’d always run in the same circle but had never really been on the same wavelength—had learned to overlook their differences. Differences
