When We Fall
Page 24
Gray cocks an eyebrow. "You two haven’t seen it yet? He already changed his status to ‘single’ on Facebook."
I gape. Is Brad for freaking real? "Are you kidding me?"
"Nope," Gray says, looking like he’s trying not to laugh.
Glad to see he finds amusement in my heartbreak.
"What a jerk!" Allie exclaims, eyes flared wide in disbelief.
I ball my fists on my lap. How could he do this? Was dumping me unceremoniously not enough, and he had to announce it to the whole world? It hasn’t even been a day. The asshole didn’t bother to wait. And the news should’ve come from me, damn him. Now, everyone knows he was the one who initiated our breakup.
"Rat bastard.” I angrily wipe the fresh set of tears rolling down my cheeks.
Allie narrows her eyes into slits. "We should get him for this.” She snaps her fingers. “I have an idea. Why don’t we egg his house or, hell, his car? He loves that damn thing, doesn’t he?”
“Lame,” Gray snorts.
Allie and I glare at her brother.
“Do you have another idea?” she snaps.
Gray’s lips twist into a smirk. “Course I do, baby sis. And it doesn’t take rocket science,” he gloats. “Everyone knows that if someone dumps you, the best thing you can do is to hook up with someone else right in front of your ex. It will make you look unaffected by the breakup.”
Allie makes a face. “That’s disgusting, Gray.”
Grayson rolls his eyes. “I’m not suggesting she have sex in front of McNeely. All she has to do is to make out or whatever with another guy.”
“Still disgusting.”
I kind of agree with Allie—but is it bad that I’m actually considering his crazy idea? Now that my breakup with Brad has reached everyone, people will surely expect me to mope around at school. Well, screw them. I’m not going to give them the satisfaction of seeing me look like a loser.
“I can do better,” I say.
Allie whips her head to me. “Uh, what’s that?”
I raise my eyes to Gray. “Instead of hooking up with another guy, I can get a fake boyfriend.”
He flashes me a wary look. “Okay. But why are you looking at me like that?”
Silence permeates the air for a brief moment before Allison blurts out to me, “No. No way. Are you out of your mind?”
On the contrary, it’s one of the smartest decisions I’ve ever made. What better way to show Brad he made a mistake than getting the guy he’s always been jealous of to pretend to be my boyfriend—Grayson himself?

Falling for him wasn't part of the plan...
"I heart Lincoln Evans."
Riley Ellison has been writing those words in her journal for months, pouring her teenage daydreams within its pages.
Because the cutest boy in school isn't aware of her feelings for him and it's going to stay that way. She wouldn't be able to live it down if he ever finds out and rejects her. That would be downright mortifying.
So when Noah Pritchett—Lincoln's best friend and Riley's next-door neighbor—finds out the truth, Riley's world turns upside down. What will she do? Will he say anything?
But instead of outing her, Noah is suddenly offering to help her get Lincoln. It seems to be working...until Noah starts acting like he doesn't want to play cupid anymore. Did he lose interest or is there something more going on?
TRUTH OR DARE
Book 1 in the Bayfield High Series
What's a girl to do when she's forced to spend time with her childhood nemesis?
There are only three things Mackenzie Brown looks forward to on a Friday night: cheesy rom coms, mani pedi and a quiet sleepover with her friends.
Crashing a party and getting payback on her best friend's cheating ex-boyfriend are definitely NOT part of the plan. Especially the possibility of getting caught!
But worst of all? Getting dared into taking a dip in freezing lakewater with the cocky Sean Murphy.
Can’t she catch a break?
But when truths are revealed and secrets come out, Mackenzie starts to realize that maybe, just maybe, missing out on a quiet sleepover isn't so bad after all…
