I want to reach out and make sure Ian doesn’t miss a note. I want the music to soar. I want Ian to win.
Something twists inside me. For the briefest second, I don’t want Rebecca to say yes.

Rebecca throws her arms around Ian, and I content myself with this:
He’s won.
THE FIRST TIME I talk to my prom date, it’s through f*******: chat.
Claire’s cousin, Jason Abernathy, is some sort of superstar baseball player over at Olympia High School. In the yearbook poll, he was voted most popular and life of the party. His nickname is The Ab.
Honestly, this last tidbit is so disturbing
