up.” The best time at the lake was from three to five. After five people started getting home from work and coming to the lake with their kids, and it got way too busy.
    “Calm down, Sadie. We’ll go another day. Besides, I have to go home and call Oliver. He invited me to a party tomorrow, and I have to get the address,” she sighed. “I’m taking my own car so my mom doesn’t find out. We know how crazy she would be if Oliver came knocking on my door.”
    It was the truth. My mom was strict, but Lily’s mom was a prison warden. She wanted Lily to do nothing but stay far away from boys. To put it simply, no boy was good enough for her Liliana.
    “So you’re going to that party …” I started but Lily interrupted.
    “Too bad you didn’t get invited to the party. Guess I’ll see you when Oliver and I come up for air,” she laughed.
    I was going to tell her that I too would be at the party, but I decided against it. Her tone was different than normal, and it wasn’t like Lily to ditch me for a guy. Even if Lily and I didn’t exactly date guys, she did have a boyfriend once. Her parents went to Hawaii two summers ago. They stayed with her parents friends, and they had a son who was a few years older than Lily. They had this whirlwind romance, from what she said when she came back, touring pineapple farms and making out on the beach. But I knew Lily’s mom well, and like I said, she wanted to keep Lily boyfriend free. So I found it really hard to believe my best friend. I put my feelings of doubt aside when I saw a picture of her with him. I’d actually felt like an ass until she showed me the letters he sent her. They were typed out instead of written by hand. These letters were romantic and beautiful and nothing any guy I knew would write. Still I never said a thing. Then one night after talking with her on the phone for hours about how she was so in love with him, I did my research. I went to the one place where a good detective would start, Facebook.
    I found his Facebook page through her friends list. Okay, so the guy was real … but his status showed he was single. Also his pictures showed none of him and Lily, only him with other girls. Lots of other girls. I decided to confront Lily one day at lunch, and that’s when she came to school clearly upset about their sudden break-up. He’d met someone else closer to home and had to let Lily go. Instead of expressing how I felt, I held her and let her cry. She never once during that whole ‘relationship’ chose to call the boyfriend and not hang out with me.
    Whether that relationship was real or not, I would never know, but I knew that Oliver Kasen was real. She was choosing him already. I sighed and nodded my head. “Yeah sure, we’ll get together another day.”
    She smiled and hugged me. “You’re the best! Bye, have fun tomorrow at school and make sure no other girls scam on my man!” Her man? Oh God, this was going to be a long summer.

    After dinner with my mom, I decided to ask her about going the party tomorrow night. Lily may not have thought I got an invite, but I was going to show up at that party looking awesome and hopefully have Nash on my arm. I cleared the table, and my mom wiped it down, our nightly routine. Now was as good a time as any. “Mom, I got invited to go to a party tomorrow night by some new friends at school today.”
    She continued to wipe the table and nodded. “I knew this day would come. Go on.”
    I bit my lip. “Lily’s going.” I didn’t know what else to say. Usually if my mom knew Lily would be somewhere, she’d let me go. I hoped that would help this time around.
    She stopped cleaning and threw the rag in the sink. Then she turned and faced me, a serious look on her face. “Will there be alcohol?”
    I rolled my eyes. “Mom, there is always alcohol at parties. I choose not to partake in the drinking. I have no interest.” She knew this information about me. I had seen what alcohol had done to
