~Carlo
I blinked in surprise,
touched. Carlo had sent
me the food? Although
I guess I shouldn’t have
been surprised. Who
else could've done it?
Curious, I reached in the
bottom of the bag and
pulled out…a Twix. I
couldn’t help but laugh.
“What’s so funny?”
Parker asked, obviously
baffled as to what
could be so hilarious
about a chocolate bar.
“Nothing,” I chuckled,
feeling…well, I wasn’t
sure what I was
feeling. But this was
probably the nicest
thing anyone had ever
done for me.
Today was just turning
out to be a day of
surprises.

“Where are you taking
me?” I asked
suspiciously, as Parker
wound his Lamborghini
down a road I’ve never
been down before.
“Relax, honeybee, you
can trust me,” he
answered cheerfully.
“You’re a girl. You’ll love
it.”
“Honeybee?” I was
appalled. “You can’t
come up with a better
nickname than that?
Actually, can you just
not call me by any
nickname? It’s weird.” I
perked up as a thought
hit me. “Are you taking
me to a spa?”
“Nope.” Parker smiled
slyly. “Of course, if you
really want, I can give
you a personal
massage…”
I was about to whack
his arm when I decided
that wasn’t the best
idea, considering he was
maneuvering this
deathmobile of his at
ninety miles per hour.
“Sorry, but that’s a
privilege only my real
boyfriend gets to have,
perv,” I said cheerily.
“Ouch, that hurt.”
Parker pouted. “See,
that’s why I call you
honeybee. You look
sweet as honey but
you sting like a bee.”
I snorted. “How clever
of you, Ricky Martin.
Seriously, though,
where are you taking
me? I need to be back in
time for dinner.”
“No you don’t. I already
called your mom and
told her.”
My jaw dropped. “What?
You can’t just—just go
around, calling other
people’s families!” I
spluttered. “Besides, I
have homework!”
“You’re such a nerd,”
Parker complained.
“Stop stressing. It’ll be
fun. Besides, it won’t
take that long.” He
paused. “Actually,
knowing Adri, it’ll take
very long.”
I crossed my arms over
my chest, disgruntled.
“What will be fun.?”
Parker came to a stop
and pointed at
something out the
window. I followed his
gaze and gasped when
I saw the huge,
gleaming private jet
idling on the tarmac we
were currently parked
by.
“That will be.”
“A jet?” I couldn’t help
but be a bit awed at
the sight. This was the
first time I’d ever seen
a private jet, up close
and personal. “Why—
why do we need a jet?”
Parker turned off the
engine. “Homecoming’s
coming up and Adri
decided it’s time to find
an outfit,” he explained.
“And since you’re my
girlfriend now, you can’t
exactly go to
homecoming in any old
dress from the mall.”
I stared at him. “So
where are we going?”
“Relax.” He ruffled my
hair. “We’re just taking
a short trip to New
York.”

CHAPTER ELEVEN
In New York, concrete
jungle where dreams
are made of
There's nothing you
can't do, now you're in
New York
These streets will
make you feel brand-
new
Big lights will inspire
you, let's hear it for
New York
~"Empire State of Mind"
Jay-Z featuring Alicia
Keys
“You look like a
pumpkin.”
This came from Zack,
who was lying down on
the velvet bench with
his head hanging off the
side, and who had
managed to stop
playing Angry Birds on
his phone long enough
to throw his ever-so-
astute observation at
his sister.
Adriana rolled her eyes.
“Thanks, it’s nice to
know I have such a
supportive brother,”
she replied sarcastically.
She frowned in the
mirror. The pale orange
Lanvin dress did make
her look a bit like a
pumpkin. Albeit a skinny
one.
“Well, I happen to think
you look like a beautiful
pumpkin,” Parker told
her, stifling a smile.
Adriana sighed in
annoyance. “How
sweet of you, Parker,
really, but you should
save those kind of
words for your
girlfriend.”
“Are you saying I look
like a pumpkin?” Maya
asked, raising her
eyebrows as she
turned to examine her
backside in the Givenchy
dress she was currently
clad in.
“Of course not,
honeybee, you look like
a work of art,” Parker
assured her.
“Literally.” This time, it
was from a cranky-
looking Roman, who
looked more than a little
pissed that he’d just
spent the last two
hours following Adriana
and Maya from
Bergdorf’s to Bendel’s
and then finally to
Barneys. His gaze
swept over Maya’s
black-and-white frock.
“You look like that
modern art shit my
father hangs up in his
office.”
“Roman!” Adriana
snapped. God, what
was she going to do
with him?
“What?” Roman
shrugged. “It’s true.”
Luckily, Maya didn’t
seem at all fazed. “Well,
at least I’m not in a
yellow Mickey Mouse
shirt that makes me
look like a demented
banana who just
escaped from Disney
World,” she replied
sweetly.
Roman immediately
turned a bright red and
slumped sulkily down in
his chair, but he didn’t
say anything else--a
fact that didn’t escape
Adriana’s notice.
“Huh?” Zack looked
confused. He glanced at
Roman’s shirt. “But he’s
not wearing a yellow
shirt.”
“Oh, you know, I was
just being hypothetical,”
Maya said blithely.
“Oh.” Zack’s brow
creased. “Girls are
weird,” he muttered.
“Excuse me, Miss Perry,
but here are the
dresses you
requested.” Tracy, one
of Adriana’s favorite
saleswomen at
Barneys, walked in,
carrying an armful of
designer silk.
Adriana nodded. “Thank
you,Tracy. You can just
hang it up right there.”
Tracynodded, hanging
the dresses on the
rolling rack she’d
brought in specifically
for Adriana and Maya,
before discreetly
exiting.
Adriana flipped through
the dresses, until she
found the one she was
looking for. “Aha!” She
pulled out the Fendi
piece triumphantly. “You
should try this on,” she
encouraged Maya. “It’ll
look amazing with your
coloring.”
“Really?” Maya took the
dress doubtfully. “I
guess…what are you
going to wear?

***CONTINUES***
Oh, I already know
which dress I’m going
to wear to
homecoming,” Adriana
said airily, holding up the
purple satin Proenza
Schouler in question. “I
was just shopping for
some other clothes to
add to my collection. Go
ahead, though, try
yours on!”
Maya fiddled with the
price tag of the
beautiful silk chiffon
dress. Suddenly her
eyes widened. “Adriana!
This is…this is almost
three thousand dollars,”
she exclaimed hoarsely.
Adriana was a bit
confused. “Yeah. It’s
Fendi.”
“It’s three thousand
dollars? That’s kinda
cheap,” Zack
commented, going back
to his game. “Adriana’s
dresses usually run in
the five thousand
range.”
Maya shook her head
frantically. “I can’t
afford this,” she
protested. “The most I
can spend today is five
hundred, and that’s
already stretching it.”
She bit her lip, looking
embarrassed.
Adriana was appalled.
“Five hundred dollars?
Sweetie, that’s for a
pair of sunglasses, not
a homecoming dress!”
She guided Maya to a
dressing room. “Look,
just consider it a gift
from me.”
“I can’t take such an
extravagant gift!” Maya
sounded horrified.
“It’s not extravagant
at all,” Adriana insisted.
She lowered her voice.
“Trust me, watching
you rip Roman a new
one was worth at least
what this dress costs.”
Maya snickered a bit.
“Well…I don’t know…”
“Just take it or I’m
going to be personally
offended.” Adriana
crossed her arms over
her chest.
“Gee, how can I say no
now? You’re so
persuasive,” Maya joked
as she reluctantly
entered the dressing
room. "I'm only trying
this on though. I
probably won't get it."
Adriana smiled. If her
instinct was right—and
it usually was—Maya
was going to kill in that
dress, so much so that
she would have to get
it.
“Good. Now my eyes
can stop bleeding.”
Roman’s tone was
caustic.
Adriana was about to
scold him again but
Carlo beat her to the
punch. “Rome, give it a
rest,” the Colombian
warned.
“Yeah, you need to lay
off my girlfriend,”
Parker added, a bit
belatedly in Adriana’s
opinion.
Roman glared at them.
“Oh, so now you’re
choosing that girl over
me?”
“Excuse me, but ‘that
girl’ is still in the room;
hence, she can still hear
everything you say,”
Maya snapped, stepping
out.
The room fell silent.
She blinked. “What? Do I
look that bad?” she
asked nervously.
Adriana herself was a
bit stunned, which was
no small feat. “Bad?”
she echoed. “Maya, you
look freakin’ gorgeous!”
And she did. The dress’
soft cream color stood
out in stark contrast
next to Maya’s tanned
skin and glossy dark
hair. The bodice was
fitted and showed off
her smooth shoulders,
but the skirt fell in soft
folds to just above her
knees. The gold band
encircling the waist
gave the entire outfit a
Greek-goddess feel.
“Really? It’s not too…I
don’t know, it’s not too
much?” Maya examined
herself in the mirror.
“Of course not! Right?”
Adriana asked the boys
pointedly.
The four of them just
stared at Maya like they
were in a trance, even
the usually composed
Carlo.
Even Roman, Adriana
thought, rather
wickedly.

Too make sense.
Dough my hat bro
