“Yeah, don’t get any ideas. Everyone wants to date him,”
Analisa
said. “Anyway, I think he’s still with Hadley Taylor.”

“Who’s Hadley Taylor?”

Maya gestured over her shoulder. “You just met her.”

Great.

“He probably only likes her because she’s totally rich. One of the upper class girls’ dorms is named after her dad,” Maya continued. “Plus, she’s a junior and danced Sugar Plum her sophomore year.”

Shoot. Hadley Taylor was serious competition. Nobody ever gets the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy that young. I was way out of my league. Better write Craig off.

I knew I wouldn’t meet the guy of my dreams tonight.

“What grade are they in?” I asked, motioning towards the table of guys.

“
Seniors

Analisa
answered at the same time.

“Craig has an audition for the Yale Drama Program in two weeks, but it’s just a formality,”
Analisa
said. “Everyone knows he’s going there.”

“And if not there, then either UCLA or Northwestern.”
Maya shrugged. “He’s a cocky jerk, but damn, the boy can act.”

I looked back at the other table. “So how do we try out?”
