and pulled her away from Bandar. "Adrienne, I have to go. It's getting late."
"I'm so glad you came!"Adrienne said, obviously hav- ing had too much of Bandar's champagne.
"No, Adrienne, seriously. I'd watch Cameron. She's had too much to drink, and she's all over Brian."
"She's so nice!" Adrienne said, pushing Liz away.
"Adrienne!" Liz whispered. "I think you should take Brian home--now!"
Adrienne looked at her friend and focused. "Okay," she said,"I get the message.Thanks.You okay by yourself?"
"I'm okay," Liz said, nodding toward Parker. "Talk to you tomorrow."
Parker walked Liz upstairs, out of the busy restaurant and onto the quiet, darkened streets of Greenwich Village.
"I love it downtown," Liz said, as they passed the Magnolia Bakery and the Mark Jacobs store.
"Me, too. It's so quiet and charming here. Hey, you want to split a cupcake?"
Liz looked at her watch. Eleven. Pumpkin time. "I wish I could. I have to get home, though."
"No problem. Rain check." He raised his arm, and

hailed a cab heading up Hudson Street. Liz was about to slide in when Parker took her by the waist and gave her a kiss.
Parker's warm hands moved up and down her back. His tongue gently explored her mouth, and he breathed softly, pulling her closer to him. He ran his fingers up and down her bare arms, and her whole body burst into goose bumps.
Now that was a really good kiss, she thought.
"I think I wanted that a lot more than a cupcake," he said. "See you."
"Bye," Liz said, for the lack of anything better.
The cab sped up the West Side Highway, and Liz looked out over the glittering Hudson River and the breathtakingly tall new apartment buildings. The city was beautiful. She thought of gorgeous Parker and the kiss. Tonight, everything was beautiful.

CHAPTER TEN
dazzled
W ednesday afternoon at school,Adrienne texted Brian for the third time.
Where is he? she wondered. It never takes this long to hear from him. She stared at her phone, silently willing him to text her back. Maybe his cell was out of juice or some- thing.
"Hey!"Tamara said, coming up behind her."Girl, you look terrible! Are you sick or something?"
"Not exactly," Adrienne said. "A little stressed. I have a world history test next period. And Brian is not texting me back."
"Where is he?"Tamara asked."Why wasn't he in class today?"
"He wasn't in class today?" Adrienne said. Brian had never missed a day of school before--he was obsessed with being there every day. His older brother, Jimmy, had had a perfect attendance record in high school, and Brian was

trying for one, too. It had never even occurred to her that he might not even be in the building.
"No. He didn't show, and he missed the serious study session for Monday's physics test,"Tamara said. "He would be toast, if only . . ."
"If only what?" Adrienne asked.
"If only I hadn't made a copy of my perfectly taken physics notes for him."Tamara smiled and handed over the pages to Adrienne. "You tell Brian he owes me one. And, the two of you can pay me back by making sure you come to my birthday on Saturday. No excuses, okay? We are going to get down at this little joint in Williamsburg. It is a Brooklyn party, Adrienne--leave the Prada at home!" She laughed and gave Adrienne a quick hug. "I'm serious. You've been hanging with those Fifth Avenue bitches too long." Tamara stopped. "Sorry. I care about you. Anyway, give those notes to Brian when you see him and, remem- ber, I'll see you on Saturday--or else!" Tamara took off down the hall as the next bell rang.
Adrienne pressed her head against her locker. She took a deep breath. Something was wrong. She didn't know how she knew--she just felt it. She had to talk to Liz.
Adrienne pulled out her phone and texted her friend.
